Of course you can upgrade RC1 to RTM for Windows 7, except when you are running different versions of Windows…. but of course…<\/p>\n
After browsing a bit I figured out that the switching between Windows 7 versions can only go in one direction: up. So when I installed Windows 7 RC 1 to replace my broken Windows Vista installation, I didn\u2019t know which version I would get when the RTM was released so I did what everyone did: install Ultimate.<\/p>\n
Fast forward 6 months and I am starting to miss the fixed features from the final version which us poor testers will not receive unless we go for the full monty and get the paid version.<\/p>\n
So here I am, downloading all my programs and drivers again, hoping I am not forgetting a key component and just finishing my system backup in case things don\u2019t work out as planned\u2026<\/p>\n
On a side note: I am doing this on a Dell XPS M1530 which came with a 32-bit version of Home Premium and which does not officially support Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit). Unofficially, everything works like a charm on Windows 7 RC 1 (build 7100) including the webcam, fingerprint scanner and the Intel 4950AGN card. I will report if the reinstallation to the final version went as flawless as the original installation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
