i know this question is asked countless times, but i'm building a completely new computer and would like to save money and re-use a wd 1tb green hdd. however it has a load of old files on it that i want to completely format (i couldn't in the old computer as it has win7 on it so wouldn't let me format it, because the computer wouldn't work after). i have been told that when i install windows 8 on it, it will ask me if i want to format the hdd- does it do this?
also i'm getting windows 8 to play battlefield 4, because of the increased frame rate, however this is only present in 8.1. windows 8.1 costs £10 more than windows 8 and i have been told 8.1 is a free update- should i buy windows 8.1 or can i buy 8 and update it for free to 8.1?
i know its a bit long winded, but the two questions i am asking are;
when installing win8 does it give you the option to format a hdd?
is windows 8.1 a free update for windows 8 users?
all answers will be much appreciated
