Like any serious overhaul like upgrading the OS you should always create a backup of your important files.


So backup your files, do the upgrade, if anything corrupts, no harm done.


My computer has been running faster and more stable since the upgrade.

Which files would you consider REALLY important.
All i have is a 10 year old 20gb external hard drive and a few flash drives ;_;

What would be prohibitively time consuming to replace?

ex: Important word documents, photos, things you created. Videos if you have the room, but if something happened you can just replace them. Game save files is another important one.

Whatever is irreplaceable.


Things like Hammer Project files and such, save, but leave out the SDK and such.

If you can download it again, don't bother saving it.

So, Upgrading is reliable?

Microsoft is generally very good at upgrades, you can upgrade from windows 5.0 all the way through every major version to windows 7 with not too much problem.

So it's just as reliable as anything else. But just remember to back-up your files.
