Hi all,
I'm a frequent reader and first-time poster! I have a minor concern that I haven't found in the previous threads, and I was hoping someone might be able to help me.
I'm looking to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Professional on my Thinkpad X1. On my Windows 7 setup, I used a handy application called Profile Relocator (can be viewed at Software by Joseph Cox) to send all my user profile stuff on a separate partition so that I may keep my program files and personal files separate. I want to maintain this setup for Windows 8, and my reluctance in upgrading comes from the fact that there doesn't seem to be any documentation on the effects of upgrading with such a setup. My main concerns are:
Best,
jk

My main concerns are:
- Will Windows 8 automatically recognize the setup I have, and preserve it in the upgrade process?
- If not, would I have to copy all my files, run Profile Relocator again upon upgrading to Windows 8, and paste all my files over to the new setup?
Best,
