Going to get the Pro Pack upgrade for my laptop as I need media center for it. Will I have to re-install all my programs (like Office, games, etc) or will they stay intact?

My laptop came with 8 core, so that's what is installed by default on a clean install. I then upgrade to pro though the add features option as mentioned by Theog. Then I do it again to get Media Center. I haven't had to reinstall any programs or Apps etc.
