If I were to upgrade (Windows 7) or Downgrade (Windows XP) an Operating system from Vista, would I lose all my data?
By data, I mean my pictures, music, games, and the like.
Yes, unless doing it on another partition.
u dont lose ur data from vista to 7, u only lose it when u do a clean install over vista...
Xp will not downgrade Vista like 7 will upgrade from Vista.
Meaning Upgrading to 7 will backup/restore everything in "My Documents," Xp has no idea what Vista is so it cannot do that.
Either way you will lose all your games and programs, but you can backup your "My Documents" folder youself to an external hard drive or something.
If you own any Steam games you can run the built in game backup and restore them on the new install.
Just backup your stuff and do a clean install.
Wrong section.
