it shouldn't... but you can back up files you want to save on a usb or external hd... i back up everything on my seconadary hd just incase... they are pretty cheap now too... so many consider investing in one before the upgrade...

pm me if this don't make sense...i've been drinking...

Fourandahalfdays	Posted Nov 3rd, 2009 at 10:52PM There are sites on the web that will dig the product code keys out of your computer. They are really well hidden. Once you have them and you upgrade, you can use them to reload any programs you like. Rated: +1Vote for this!
