Well, I know this isn't what you're asking but why are you planning to upgrade so soon? Why not wait until the major issues are found and resolved and a complete driver set is available? Let other people be the guinea pigs.
Also, we don't support piracy questions here so please do not ask. You will need to get your answer somewhere else and I would advise you to learn GIMP instead.

Hey guys!
So Right now I've got my G75VW set up to boot from my SSD, but, all of my docs, desktop, music, photos, etc pull from my 1TB HDD that came with this beast. I've even got temp files on the other drive. This all cuts down on the amount of writes that I have to my SSD (Corsair Force 3 GT)
My question is this:
Would it just be a smoother transition if I do a complete clean install of windows 8 Professional, or, since the upgrade assistant seems to indicate that my settings and files and whatnot transfer from Win 7 home premium without wiping my stuff (if I upgrade), should I just do that instead?
The only significant issues that it says it will encounter are:
-Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Driver isn't compatible (probably a pretty big issue...?)
-Atheros Blue Tooth not compatible
(I know these are super specific questions but I gotta know :-P)

1) Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Driver - I believe this is built in with Win8. If you look in Device Manager once it's installed you will see that it is already installed. (I did a clean install and verified)
2) Atheros Blue Tooth not compatible - Just run Windows Update.

Hi, I have a clean install of Windows 8 - no problems, only for this device ACPI\ATK4001 is not driver.
I have question: what mode you have set in BIOS: AHCI or RAID?. I have AHCI and my SSD drive is C: drive for system files.
Thanks.
