Upgrading Windows (really easy)

[NLE]

this is really easy but i dont want to be killed by a short stalky person that is sitting right here..
when upgrading from winME to wn2K.. does it delete all your files (ie my docs..)

im pretty sure it doesnt.. but i dont want to die.

thanks all

I'm pretty sure there's no inplace upgrade from WinME to Win2K...

your files will be fine, thats the last thing i'd be worried about....going fromME to 2K is a pretty big jump....I'd make sure all software and hardware is compatable with 2K before jumping ship....upgrade your only option? I'd suggest doing a fresh install.

yep.. checked everything and made a driver cd... upgrade is the only extremely viable option as there are 40gb data that cant be distoryed (video files)..


thanks for your help!

and as far as microsoft is concerned....

It will install, but no real upgrade occurs meaning most/all of your software probably won't work properly.
