You can create an image it refreshes to, so you can keep program's etc at time of image creation
It made an 8gb file for me, but this is well worth doing once you have your computer all set up.

Sorry, I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 8 from Windows 7 as I have a £15 upgrade voucher.
Howver I'm confused about this post.
If I upgrade what does this mean to me? I don't have much in the way of apps installed, only the usual Winamp/CS5.5 and a few Steam games and video codecs, will all that need re-installing?
will I also lose all of my films/MP3's office documents?
I used Windows 7 from RC on my main rig.

The Windows 7 Aero interface is so much sexier even on old desktop and not as good monitor. I'm considering going back.
right click on computer > manage > Disk ManagementAnother little problem I've come across is actually down to my older sister, since when she installed that dodgy copy of windows XP pro, she split the hard drive in two with one partition holding the operating system and files and the second being completely blank and unformatted which I want to eradicate by expanding the first partition into that space (I know there should be a way to do this in windows 8, but I don't know where to go to get the job done).

I'm thinking at £25 is an absolute bargain, one question though, anyone know if the d/l only will allow you to make a bootable disc. I occasionally like to wipe/start afresh with a clean install. Don't want to have to rely on a d/l everytime I want a clear out.

or
click the bottom left to bring the start screen up then type Disk Management then click settings on the right then u should see create and format hard disk partitions...
Yes, you can choose to make a bootable disk or a USB stick when it is downloaded. The whole of the files needed are also in a folder in the Windows folder on your boot drive once it is installed so creating another boot disk would be quite easy.
You have the function to re-install Windows from within Windows in Windows 8. It can either do a clean install or re-install and keep the application and data - your choice. Saves a whole re-format and reinstall I think.
