    trying to do all these shortcuts will only lead to more trouble format and full reinstall OS and programs
    Alright, I'll just back up my Documents and stuff on my 7 and just reinstall it. You're right about it leading to more problems. Software doesn't like to be changes, especially OSes and drive letters. If I just keep doing run arounds I'll just cause more problems and waste time.

    I'ma install it after everything is backed, thanks for the help
