As long as "my hdd" is not attached during the upgrade.
But your question makes me ask "Where is the backup copies?"
One copy on a HDD is just that. And since one mistake or failure, all this is gone.

Yes, if you upgrade (don't do a clean install!) you keep your files, programs and settings. But don't you have a backup?
Note the precautions mentioned by Acer (just an example) on the right side of http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/manually-upgrade
