Hi guys,
Windows 8.1 has been giving me a lot of problems lately and I think i'm finally fed up and planning on downgrading to Windows 7. I have the disc for 7 and a valid ISO, so correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure just wiping my boot drive and installing windows 7 will work just fine.
My storage configuration is an SSD boot drive (Samsung 840 evo 250gb), as well as a 1TB WD black hard drive and a 2TB wd green hard drive, both used for general storage (movies, some games etc.). I know that I'll have to wipe the SSD, but my question is, will changing OS'es affect the data on the other hard drives? Or will the documents/movies/data still be accessible (excluding any programs that I know I'd have to reinstall, of course)?
Thanks!
