Windows 10 installation

[deki093]

Hello,

I have windows 7 64-bit on my laptop and i want to install windows 10 on c: disk. After that can i open the files on the d: disk ? Will they be removed or not ?

If you make everything properly and don't touch, whatsoever, in the D partion, then yup. They won't be remove and you'll be able to access them after the instalation.

But, if you ask me, i'd do a backup before installing W10, that way you'll have 100% of chance to get everything you want back.

Backup everything you want to keep, in 2 separate places preferably. Test you backups to ensure they aren't corrupted. Install Win 10 on existing physical disk as a clean install. Then create a new D disk and reinstall those items you wanted to keep. This is the safest way.

Installing Windows 10 on the C: Drive will only wipe the data on the C: Drive. Anything on the D: Drive will be safe.

As for opening files on the D: Drive... if you are referring to programs (like games), then you need to reinstall them.
