  1. Keep Personal Files Only; what will be kep?


    Hello guys, I am trying to install Windows 10 on my Windows 8.1 machine. But due to the laptop being bought in Japan back when I was there, it gives an error stating I cannot keep files app etc. due to different language and it only gives me the option of Keep Personal Files Only or Erase Everything. I was wondering what Keep Personal Files Only is, what will it keep and what will be lost? For example, I have a few games such as League Of Legends and Steam, and lots of Word and Powerpoint files for school, along with media (audios, movies, pictures) on the desktop.
