[h=2]Now windows 10 is out, i think its just the excuse to do a clean install of my OS whilst im at it.[/h]

Do i have to back anything up locally that would keep my ED game progress or is that all stored on ED servers (associated with my login)?

IE can i just format and start again and it will pick up where i left off when i firsty log back in to ED?

Oh and inB4 "i would wait for a few weeks etc etc before installing windows 10" blah blah (if really had that many issues i would just put win 7 back on) ;)

It is all backed up on the server, the only thing you will lose is any key binding if you have changed them.
(I play on two different PCs and use the same log in)

i have read somewhere that the keybindings are here C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings

But i dont have a frontier folder in that folder, infact i only have one folder in the local one and that is teamspeak, so im unsure where it could be, also my c:\ does not contain the appData either

Are you using steam for elite, if so you will probably find it within there somewhere.

No i dont belive so, this is kind of weird, i thought maybe there were some hidden files/folders, but i have configured windows to show all files and folders

Ah well, not really a problem though, I'd just write them down. But I would like to know where they are saved as they get wiped every time there has been an update.
