new rMB setup advice

-

hi all, know i've seen information in threads "beach ball" spinning while on filevault step while setting new macbook. i've seen others dodged wiping computer when first got , installing 10.10.3 (i think, may have written version wrong? .3 instead of .2)

i'm wondering if people have gone through wanted chat , give advice around best way set new computer, experiences in mind. advise me same thing, , wait out beach ball / have reset it, or try more drastic start? should yes or no filevault?

thanks! 1.2 arrives today best buy, can't wait!
 

for me personally, did clean setup. did not use time machine or migration assistant since of stuff in cloud. after set up, then turned on filevault. filevault took day setup. still able use computer while filevault processing. after had install 100 gb of software, files , folders. saw no spinning beach ball , computer did not freeze on me.
