Hi, i currently have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit & i want to upgrade it to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit & i see the upgrade option when i boot from the cd but what i want to know is this, will i lose all my files that is in my user folder, my docs, roaming & desktop or will it just upgrade the OS files only & leave everything intact?
I don't mind doing a full install if it would be better but i really hate having to install everything again & my settings/wallpapers/themes n so on.
Thanks

When going from one Win 7 to another, assuming same bit number, you need to use the Windows Anytime upgrade. It was not designed to be able to install a DVD upgrade version over an installed version.
If you do not want to do any Anytime upgrade, then as long as you have a key, you will probably need to do a clean install.
