Before you "upgrade" next time, make an image backup of your hard disk to an external drive, using Clonezilla. That way no matter what happens you can simply revert back to *exactly* where you started with a minimum of fuss. Or get a 2nd internal hard drive. The Clonezilla method is far less hassle than removing and replacing internal laptop hard drives.
