Reinstall W7 but keeping current installtion pro temp - possible?
I have a Windows 7 installation that consists of 1 hard drive partitioned so that c:/ has the programs installed and d:/ has all data files.
I now have got to the stage where I need to reinstall W7, but from past experience I know this will mean I will lose the use of it productively for a day or two. BUT I really need to have continual use of the computer for business.
So I am wondering if I could do this without too many problems:
1. Add an extra partition in the spare space on c:/ (to create e:/ )
2. Install another copy of W78 on e:/ and add the programs as time permits
3. Continue to use c:/ as normal for now
4. When I am readya. Delete the current W7 on c:/Do you think this will work?
b. Either delete c:/ or merge it with e:/
c. Rename e:/ to c:/
What problems am I likely to face?
What precautions should I take?
Any advice gratefully received.
