| 1321375 | 2013-01-05 00:39:00 | I currently have an Acer Aspire V3-571G laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Its got a 750 GB hard drive in it, which is partition twice one is a 345 GB partition which has the OS and the other partition is 336 GB which had all my data on it. As I understand if I want to resize my OS partition & / or create a new partition (a 3rd partition), that will mean I will have to reinstall Windows 7?? Does anyone know how to reinstall the Acer Windows 7 Home Premium back on the new partition?? Or create a copy of my current OS, which I can put back once I have re partition the drive in to 3 partitions? As want I want to do is install windows 8 on the new partition. I hope this is clear as mud :p :D |
