Hello ,Asking for advice and answers on Windows 8 Upgrade.I've done a lot of research online and it gets very confusing at times different opinions and scenarios,of my choices of doing an upgrade or a clean install of Windows 8.In my case i am looking to try it out see if i like it.Right now i have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit that came pre installed on my system,my PC specs are good for Windows 8,but i may want to revert back to windows 7,in case i do not like 8.I have recovery DVD'S,support discs.and a repair disc.made.I get these two answers in ways from online,not sure will be the case,#1 If you do an upgrade to Windows 8,the recovery partition should not change.In that case,if you use that recovery partition to reinstall the original software configuration,your system will go back to the original Windows 7 installation.In that case,Windows 8 will no longer be installed.#2 If you do a Custom Install ("clean install"),the recovery partition will no longer be bootable so you will not be able to boot to or run the recovery program.Second scenario makes sense in ways,since recovery partition is part of c: drive,which is where i would install 8 and clean install will most likely format the drives partitions.From what i heard or read scenario 1 make a windows old folder,not leave a recovery and clean install would not write to recovery partition,were gets confusing,but since i saw these two scenarios i am not sure what to think,not even my computers manufacturer much help when comes to changing your system that was set way they sold it,even there support site is bad.So my main question is,is there anyway to keep the recovery partition for Windows 7,when doing a upgrade or doing a clean installing Windows 8?
Any advice or more non confusing knowledge of right answers would be much appreciated,thank you.
