      The trick is to

      dump your personal files into a seperate, non OS hard drive so that if shit hits the bricks, you have a parachute.

      Ask me how I know.

        Or you can do like I did and simply put an extra hard drive in, load Linux on it. Then use your old Windows hard drive as a storage drive. For the first couple of weeks it was a nice safety blanket to have.

        Oh, and if your PC doesn’t have the room inside for an extra hard drive. Make it an external.
