Welcome to the TH community, Nummy01!

Well, it's highly recommended to do a backup of your data prior to tempering with the storage drive either way! Switching from IDE to AHCI would require you to reinstall or do to a registry edit, which means you'd need to be careful and do a backup of the registry before editing it.

Good luck! Hope I helped! :)
