Hey there, I understand your worries about upgrading from 7 to 8.1. It's important to ensure the SSD part is handled correctly during the update. Avoid installing the new OS on the mechanical drive, as that could affect performance. For the SSD, make sure you follow proper procedures to prevent damage. If you need more details, let me know!

All data is stored on the hard drive. The cache stores your frequently accessed files, making multiple reboots after reinstalling likely beneficial because the new Windows setup will cache them.
