Does anyone know that after windows 10 gets released next month if it will ask if want it to preserve my files and programs or not? Like do upgrade and keep avast, hypercam, etc. Or give option to remove them and do clean install? Or should I reinstall windows 8 and upgrade back 8.1 if I want clean install?
If you get the free upgrade through Windows Update, it will preserve all your programs and files. I have read that they will also offer an .iso file for those who prefer to do a clean install.
I'm getting the update upgrade but like Bob, I will make a complete system image beforehand just in case.
I have no idea what will happen to the recovery partition but it wouldn't surprise me if it did get wiped.
