Hi, I am currently running Windows Pro 64 bit on a 60gB SSD and want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 pro using a Windows 8 upgrade disc onto a new 225 gB SSD.
I was intending to clone the existing 7 OS onto the new SSD then swap discs and upgrade sequentially upto 8 and then 8.1 but wondered if there is any means of missing out 8 and jumping straight to 8.1? I am not too keen on doing a clean install as it will involve me in re-loading a lot of programs.
Would it be best to do the upgrade using Windows Easy Transfer?
If I dont like Windows 8.1 will I be able to roll back to 7?
Advice appreciated.
