    I put the Beta on a computer, then the RC. Love Win 7 so far and have ordered the Early Bird upgrade. Question is will I have to do a clean install over RC or will it reinstall leaving programs, data and folders intact? It's a real pain reinstalling programs...

    Best wishes to all,

    Welcome to WindowsBBS ;)

    You'll have to do a clean install.

    There could be a work-around posted (like there is for the Beta > RC update), but:

    1. It would be unsupported
    2. It may not work
    3. I wouldn't do it.

    Yes, I feel your pain, but this has been documented, so you knew what you got yourself into. I have the same 'problem' to content with...
