Ribbit.

If I buy windows 8 key would be able to keep all my stuff from windows $ like games music and atc?

A Windows 8 installation will not delete any of your user files (games, music, $, and atc), unless you tell it to do a clean install. As such, it is inadvisable to do a clean install.

It wont DELET all my thing in computer ?

Not a single of your thing will be delet.

I wouldn't suggest upgrading though. If you want windows 8 do a fresh install rather. The amount of issues people are having with upgrades is pretty big.

Since you are running a cracked version, i recommend just buying the system builder copy and fresh install. Or install Ubuntu if you want a free OS.

^ except LMDE if you don't game.

If you do, sure, get Windows 8, re-partition your drive so that your music/movies/etc are on another partition, format the OS partition and do a clean install of 8. Sounds complicated, but really isn't. Best option imo.
