Windows 10: I messed up and installed LTSC Eval. How could I Install a W10 without thrashing everything up?

Hi everyone!

So, after scoring a T110 II with 3 2TB SAS , was excited to build my own first plex server. I decided to go with Windows LTSC Eval version thinking that I would be able to get a licence key later on (seems to be a big mistake), combined about 2 and a half of them with drivepool. I used the rest as the main drive (C:\). Now that I have set up everything with all my my movies, series, etc in the combined drive and filled it almost completely (resulting in being charged hundreds of dollars in over usage fees (thanks Comcast), and all of the programs (Sonarr, Radarr, Plex..) and such in the main drive... the server turns off every hour because the eval period of the OS ended.

I'm looking to install W10, but I am worrying about my data. how could I install it without messing much up with my data so that I can have it running longer than an hour? preferably keeping everything as is as much as possible.

tl;dr

I set up PLEX server with a LTSC EVAL, combined 2 1/2 of the 3 HD's with Drivepool. and now I need to install a new OS. How could I do it without messing it up?



EDIT:

When I use the installer inside windows it only allows me to choose the "Erase everything" option

How do I install windows 10 without harming my windows 7?


Here's what I suggest you to do:

1. From Windows 7, download & Install Macrium Reflect Free. Connect one of your new 500GB HD and clone your current Windows 7 to it. Follow step 1,2,3 from the screen shot:

1. Disconnect your current Windows 7 then boot up with the new cloned copy of Windows 7
2. Upgrade it to Windows 10 so it will be fully activated.
3. If you decide to keep Windows 10 then do a fresh install of Windows 10. If not, disconnect the 500GB HD containing Windows 10 then re-connect your Windows 7
4. You are back to where it was before.

 

How should I "install" a new video card?

I ordered a BFG 9800GX2 (for a cheap price *Wink ) IT isn't here yet, but I wanted to know how I should install it. It's actually my first real upgrade without rebuilding a PC... so the only thing I'm changing is my video card. I'm also going to give my 9800GTX to my dad since his 8800 broke.
Should I uninstall all my 9800GTX drivers? My concern with this is that it will disable all the 3D effects on Vista (x64) and might mess something up. I haven't had Vista long enough to know how things work. Can somebody give me step by step instructions?
