Ya, have a Avast free version and what used to be called Safe Browser. Upgrading to a larger HD in my laptop with a fresh install of Win 10. Is there a cert for free Avast? will I loose the secure browser?

  But it won't contain the free version of Secure Browser, will it? They gave it away sometime ago to even free version Avast that's How I got Safe Browser, and update changed the name  to Secure browser.. Now I believe to get secure browser you have to use the paid version. A fresh install will wipe out my current free avast and free avast secure browser, is that right?
