Quick question about Windows install

Long story short, installing windows 8.1 pro to get 10 pro.

Now when I go to install now it only gives me the "keep nothing" option compared to the "personal files" and etc I had before.

 

Now my question is, if I continue with "nothing" will it wipe all my drives? Or just my OS drive? Because nothing really important is on my OS drive other than like, 2 games.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

It will not completely wipe anything either way. 

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

it doesn't but to be sure, take your other drives out.

The amount of PITA that is is immense

Especially considering my rat's nest of cable management It would be hard to get the cover back on. But not too hard.
