Help with Windows 7

[Deadlydel]

I'm planning on reinstalling windows 7.

I currently have Home Premium installed but have a copy of Pro thanks to college.

My dillema is will my programs i have installed on my d: still work if i use back up and restore?

I have a 60GB solid state drive as C: and most of my programs / all my games are on a 1TB Drive i use as D:

Will i have to reinstall them all?

Thanks in advance,
Derek

you could try putting disk in and trying upgrade, but I'm not sure if it will work...however, a new re-install always works best!

Thing is, The pro version is a non upgradable ISO and Serial. I was hoping i could simply unlock the features using the uprgade tool but unfortunatly not possible.

re-install and manually link them back? could be a problem however, and I've never tried it!

Sounds dodgy lol. Here's me thinking installing them all on another drive was the best idea. Think i'll try it anyway and just hope for the best.
