I hate Windows 10, I'm wondering if I could simply upgrade my Windows 7 machine to Windows 8.1, and keep all of my files and programs intact?
I have lost a whole afternoons work on my laptop when the bloody thing suddenly rebooted without warning, with Windows 10 subsequently congratulating itself on installing an update. OK, so I should have saved it, but that's not the point. A computer should do what its told, not what it likes.
As Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft as from January next year, I'm wondering what to do. I've had my main computer for years, and it is still perfectly reliable and has all my stuff on it. If I could carry on using it for the next 10 years with Windows 7, I would have no complaints, but as this will not be the case, and as I hate Windows 10, I'm wondering if I could simply upgrade my Windows 7 machine to Windows 8.1, and keep all of my files and programs intact?
