New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?

I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).

In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..

I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:

1. the claims & recovery of pilots

2. system recovery disk for operating

3 supplemental Recovery Disc

However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.

So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?

Thank you

Steve

Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.

Your options are limited.
