Urgent!! Windows 7 beta to RC upgrade

sid · 30 Jun 2009 at 21:29

ARGh! I wasn't aware this copy expires tomorrow.

I know how to upgrade, can anyone tell me quickly if this is safe or are there known issues with doing the upgrade compared to a clean install.

I don't want to waste time setting up my media centre pc again thats all.

regards,
sid

Upgraded 4 times now. No problem with any of them.

How?!

Microsoft couldn't have made this fact more known even if they had come around to your house and hit you with a sledgehamer with a note on it with the expirey date for the beta.

I would fresh install, but thats just my preference.

Yeah tbh I installed it on the first day of release and never touched it again. ITs a media centre pc which boots straight to MCE and never really been through it to check.

I've cleaned installed the RC now and its much better
