Not sure about Fedora, but I think in general an
update will leave all your existing system settings
intact, and just update the software packages. Since
the problem you're experiencing may be because of your
settings, I think it would be a better bet to do a
clean install. Of course if you have the time, try
the update and if it doesn't work then you can do a
clean install.
