Windows 10 on my Laptop

[Richard Andrew x64]

If I perform the upgrade from 8.1 to 10 on my laptop, does that overwrite the recovery partition so that I wouldn't be able to restore the laptop to 8 if I needed to? I wouldn't mind this except for the fact that the original recovery includes all the right drivers and system utilities which I wouldn't want to lose.

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

How would the Win10 install know what that partition is? It should leave it alone. (But then, I never "upgrade", I only start fresh. And I never buy off-the-shelf systems.)

I see your point. But anything can happen, I suppose.

If you "need" your laptop, install in a VM :thumbsup::thumbsup:
