Updating from windows 7 32bit to 64 bit-simple question.

[scotty37]

Hi there, I'm looking to update my windows 7 home premium from 32bit to 64bit. My question is, will this affect all the partitions on my hdd? Its 1TB split into D:100GB for the OS, D:200GB for games and the other E: for music, movies etc.
I only ask because it would be a pain to back up everything or can I get away with just backing up the C: drive.
Thank you

As long as during the install, you don't select any other partition besides the one where you are installing, it won't mess with any of the other partitions.
