I have Windows 7 currently installed on a 64GB SSD, with about 30gigs of free space on it that I use for very small programs such as CPU-Z, Speccy, fan controllers, things of that nature. Everything else such as, music, photos, games, larger programs, etc. is on the 1TB HDD. There isn't an OS installed on the HDD (obviously). So what I want to know is will it be safe to update the OS on my SSD to Windows 8(.1) without losing HDD files? I seen some forums about people who were having issues but I believe this is because they were just now upgrading to an SSD and still had OS files on their HDD that would create registry problems.
In my head it makes sense that my plan would be totally feasible but before losing all of my games and music and what not, I thought I'd ask you wonderful people
I feel as if I should unplug my HDD for the duration of the install for safe measures.
Any thoughts?
Update: the programs on my SSD can be easily installed again so there's no worries about backing them up.
