Question

Hello. I have dual booted Linux mint 20 alongside windows 7.

The windows is installed in C drive and Linux in E drive.
Now I want to upgrade my windows to 8.1 and also Linux mint to newer latest version.

So if I format c drive will it affect my Linux mint?

Oh. I don't have hardware capable of running windows 10. It will lag. I'm updating windows 7 because Chrome gives warning that you can't update Chrome anymore on windows 7.

Last time I tried all the windows versions starting from xp, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. Only 7 was the one which ran with minimum lag. Okay I'll try installing 10 again. Maybe it's fixed in the update. Thanks

It makes sense, since 7 is 2009, 8.1 is 2013 and 10 is (now) 2022. You ought to at least disable Defender if you're on a low-end device. Anyway that's straying a bit from the topic, good luck.

Formatting C: won't affect Linux. 8.1 is EOL, you need a clean install of W10 at minimum.
