This is were you went wrong.
Windows is fine, especially from a user point of view it is far better than linux, but that´s a useless discussion right know. (les gouts et les couleur ne se dispute pas).
But it is a fact that Windows is very lousy in "upgrading", choose a fresh install next time  .

I learned that the hard way a while ago.
I now divide my disk into 2 partitions; one for the OS and one for data.
Then when I need to install a new version of the OS I just overwrite the OS partition with a clean install and all my data is still available.

I´m doing that for almost 15 years already. In fact I´m still flabbergasted to see vendors selling machines with an installed HD without any partitioning (nor any advice concerning that).
On top of that, I never use "my documents" and the like.

Mine is also partitioned, but I do use "My Documents" - I just move it to the D: drive.
It's handy, because there are shortcuts to it, apps expect it to work, and it provides a single place for app data (that I created and that apps create without telling me) that can be located and backed up frequently.
Works for me!

Yeah that's what I do also or at least 2 anyway. With the new TB disks I have mine divided up further.

Should I avoid all you posts or just the ignorant ones?, will you let me know if it's OK or not?

I had three but lately combined the two data partitions into one. Got tired of looking in two places for things.

Go back to sleep. Nothing to see here anymore. Yes he got banned again but as
Nagy Vilmos said: like that rash, he keeps coming back.
He'll be back again.
P.S. - I just looked at the clock, you're up early.

Yeah I've got a lot to do today, want to get out and walk a few miles and do some more preparation for a trip I'm taking one week from tomorrow, going off the grid for a month. Taking a trip out to AZ to see my brother and do a tour of National and State parks in AZ and Utah. I think I've talked to you about this before? but am finally going to do it. Renting a car and plan on putting about 10K miles on it in the month I have it. Camping, hiking, backpacking and whatever comes along. I am also going to take a ton of photos I have a Nikon D7000 and; 4 X 32GB and 1 16GB SDHC cards so I figure I can get about 7K pictures, hope that's enough?

Going off the grid is always rewarding. I used to do it more when I was younger and miss the adventure of it all.
7K photo capacity should last you about a week. Looking forward to seeing some photos when you return.

I go off as often as I can, the grid that is. 
I want to do this one final long distance off the grid while I still can. I may try a long distance backpack on the Florida trail or the Appalachian trail before it's all over but will have to see if and when the time comes if I'm able!
