As you are planning to install the new OS on the system of your then let me tell you that you can use the Windows Easy Transfer which will transfer all the files to the new Operating system. It will first take the backup and after installation of the same you can transfer all the file again which you have kept. So do the same and work with your issue.

Back up your files to removable media (external hard disks, DVDs, CDs, or USB memory cards) or to a network location. Do not back up your files to a recovery partition or to the same hard disk on which Windows is installed. Always store the media that you use for backups in a secure location to prevent unauthorized access to your files. We recommend a fireproof location that is separate from your computer. You may also consider encrypting the backup data.

You can also take the back manually with the help of the Windows 7. Just get into the Windows 7 and then to the User folder and copy all the file and folder which you wanted to take the backup and save it on the external media which will allow you to restore the same later on. So try this out and see whether it is working for you or not.

Different ways to return to the previous operating system, and also download the files and settings to a different Windows 7 before Removing Windows 7, you can transfer, backup and recovery, or in some cases, restore the previous operating system just before the update.

If you are using the Windows 7 then you can easily take the back up of any of the files and system. Windows 7 is already having the Backup and Restore Option which takes the backup of the system and restore it any time if you wanted to. You can find this option in Control Panel>System and Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
