Hey guys, I need a little help. My PC that I got back in December came with windows 8. I downgraded to windows 7 and I was wondering if there was any way of getting windows 8 back. I still have the "windows.old" file if that makes a difference. Is there anyway for me to upgrade back without losing any of my data?

You can move all of your data onto a disc or a hard-drive or something like that, and then re-install Windows 8 onto your computer and then transfer the files back onto your computer!

If you have the windows 8 installation disc it will install windows 8 with all your data from windows 7. However if you do not have a windows 8 disc then PM so i can help you out.

If you still have your product key simply download the Windows 8 iso from the Microsoft website then burn it to a DVD or USB thumb drive. Then install, if you can't do that just stick with windows 7 till windows 9 comes out next year.
