Will Windows 8 allow to to keep your desktop items, programs and others when upgrading to Windows 8? I have all my programs I like and have gotten comfy in Windows 7 and I am checking out Windows 8 on another partition that has nothing on it and obviously I need practice moving around in Windows 8. BTW I found the NX or as my bios calls it Non-executable and changed the setting to accommodate Windows 8. Oh and will I keep my jump-lists as well?
