Hi there

I'm a little baffled as I purchased Windows 8 (N) from the microsoft store (download version) and I'm not getting the option to keep my applications and personal files from updating from Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64bit

I ran the install process and I ran the program which tested my current programs for compatibility issues. I didn't uninstall the ones that its didn't think were compatible ( was I suppose to ?:confused:)

I download Windows 8 (N) from the store and when it came to install the only two options I have is to keep my personal files or a clean install.

The only reason I got it over Windows 8.1 was so I could upgrade to Windows 8 and keep all my programs and files then upgrade to Windows 8.1 afterwards.

Am I being daft and I've missed something really obvious here ? :D

Thanks in advance
