Yeah, what he said. That's why I said what I said - it's worth avoiding an OS upgrade altogether if you can. A fresh install will also clear out any bloatware the manufacturer may have installed. And you probably need to upgrade the drivers anyway.
I dunno how to keep MS Works, but I don't recommend it in any case. My niece sent me a Works file, and I couldn't find anything that could read it. Get Open Office, or splurge on the full-blown Word.
