Can you do in-place upgrade from Beta 2 to future RC and finally RTM builds, or clean install required for each beta until RTM?

Upgrade from Beta 2 (5384.4) to future builds?
It is never a good idea to attempt to upgrade from a beta version to the RTM.

Its possible that build to build upgrades of the beta will be supported in the software, but the scenario is not supported or recommended since unknown problems can take place that will make it complex to diagnose issues. No, the RTM will not support upgrades from the betas/RCs. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta
