you will probly be fine, just a bit of driver mess to clean up. but its not recomended. when i get a new computer i always format and reinstall.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

Think of it this way: a couple of hours of a clean install and reinstalling programs will benefit you much better than worry about what went wrong if you don't do this. But, it's still your choice. Maybe you'll be the lucky one that doesn't have any problem. Who knows? :smile:
