Hi All Can anyone tell me if you upgrade your p.c to windows 8 from windows 7 do you lose all your saved files etc ? would you need to save them to disc ? or does it just over write windows 7 system files etc ? :confused:
 
Before any upgrade I would always do a backup!

however when upgrading directly from 7 to 8 all programs/saves are left intact.
 
can you install the win8 upgrade onto a fresh formatted drive and it ask you for your win7 dvd when your installing win8 or do you have to buy the full blown oem version to do it this way?

from what i know i think you have to have windows installed to upgrade don,t think you can do a fresh install with the upgrade but someone else might say i,m wrong ?
