what is that software about and why is it not recommended ?
thanks
 
It is possible that you wouldn't have to reinstall if you are very good in regedit and have a TON of time on your hands. You would just need to copy all the game entries in the registry over from the old windows version to the new one. You would also have to make sure they are in the right spots that Windows 7 needs compared to Windows 8. :)

Too time consuming and odd for most people to do.
