Hey, I want to upgrade my windows vista 32 bit to windows 7 64 and I have some questions.
First my steam games. i have 3 hard drives and I have STEAM on my storage drive, when I install windows 7 on my LOCAL disk 1 will I need to format disk 2 and 3 or will the files on them be left untouched?
I have a overclocked q9450, will a clean install affect my OC or is it all saved on the bios?
When I do a clean install will I have to reinstall my MOBO drivers or will that be done automatically once Windows 7 is installed?
i have never done this, any other tips or tutorials are welcome, thx.
Also can any link me the version I should get on amazon? I will upgrade to Ivy bridge when it comes out and I read that some Windows 7 versions can only be used once, I am interested in windows home premium.
PC specs:
q9450 oc to 3.0ghz
4 gb corsair ddr2 800
ASUS P5E Deluxe Mobo
570GTX
600W psu
Drives: 750gb, 120gb, 2TB
Windows VISTA 32 bit
