Windows 7 update from Windows 7 RC

Here is a live report on my struggles :D

I loved the release candidate - But not everything is as easy as I thought.

So far I have one important conclusion - Do a clean install on a formatted disk !

And I have one more too - If you backup your old version - Take it to a separate directory first if you have something else than an english version.

And when you get it back. Move it to desired nationalized directory.

 

Well I have used the RC for a long time as well and can also say its a blast. But going from RC and the real version was not a blast :D

I will guess that some problems will come from going from English version to national version because directorys are nt named the same. But thats an easy fix to move the files to a proper locatin.

But Im sure I will get it up and running in a few minutes. And Im pretty sure it will be a "blast" again after that.

 

In this case I actually use W7 for systems crucial to my business.
I work as a PLC programmer and have lots of programs that I wasnt able to run under Vista. But with the introduction of W7 I "suddenly" can run them all again. Some of them like Step5 from Siemens I run in the XP emulator mode. But that is such old programme so its not even supported anymore.

But you are quite right. Normally I wouldnt do this. But I done lots of test with the release candidate.
