there is already a thread for that to help you.

I think you'll just get all your stuff moved to a folder called Windows.old or something. I dunno.

Everything will remain as is if you're upgrading to the equivalent version (ie, Home Premium, Business to Professional, Ultimate). If you're doing different versions, everything gets dumped into a Windows.old folder.

I think that's how it works,but I can't say for sure as I had to do a clean install (Ultimate to Professional).

Yes it will be contracted with the ms08-067 vulneribility, and you have a 527% chance of losing your system. I can't be lying because I am on the internet. And the ms08-067 is a real vulnerability lol. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx
