Windows 7 Upgrade

[billyc99]

Hope that i am not asking the same question as many have. I am running Win7 RC Build 7100 and wish to install my mint copy of Win7Professional. CAn I do an upgrade or must i do a new install. Currently running on an Acer Aspire 5000 laptop. Cheers and beers to all Billy sends

Most all of us agree that an upgrade is not the route to take. It leaves useless files on your system and can cause conflicts.

Save all you Documents, Pictures, contacts, videos, music, etc to a flash drive,

Be aware, you will need to re-install your 3rd party applications.

You can't do an upgrade from RC unless you know some tricks. Clean is much better anyway.
