I upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 long ago. If you guy haven't tried it you should.
I have 4 internal drives on my main pc and I have 2 externals, 1 is 5tb. I try to make image back ups to one of the internals every month and I have a program called Memeo that copies my files to my external.
When I upgrade I will also do the raid thing to have a couple drives mirrored. I wish there was a way to do it on an existing system but I believe it can only be done from the start when installing fresh.
Good luck OP. That is a nightmare. I have data going back to 1999. I would die if I lost all my data.
