I have 2 drives on my Windows XP computer. The one which now has XP installed on it is a 144 GB drive and my second internal drive has approx. 2 Tb. Now that I’m switching to Windows 8, I am debating on installing Windows 8 on the 2 TB drive. Is there any real advantage to putting Windows 8 on the larger drive or should I just keep Windows on the smaller one?
If I install Windows 8 on my second drive currently empty except for a few backup files or if I, at a later time, reinstall Windows 8, will I have to install all of the XP updates before installing Windows 8? Or can I just use the original XP disks I received with my computer to install Windows XP then update with my new Windows 8 update disk without installing all the XP updates the disk is missing?
I have a Windows 8 upgrade from XP disk. If needed, Can I get a copy of all the needed updates for XP on a disk so I can reinstall XP in order to reinstall Windows 8? I just saw online at WSUS Offline Update (http://download.wsusoffline.net/) that you can download such software from that site. Has anyone heard or have experience with this site?
Thanks for any advice!
