PEACE !!!!!!

You should read some of the threads before you post questions that have been already answered, in short no you should do a fresh install otherwise you will most likely run into problems.

Engineering Windows 7 : Delivering a quality upgrade experience

Microsoft actually recommends you don't upgrade from the beta to the RC, although it is possible, I wouldn't recommend it either. A quick search of "Windows 7 RC upgrade from 7000" you will find instructions on how.

Was you wanting to know if you should upgrade versus clean install? Or was you saying hey should I install this ? download from a torrent and nuke my tried and true 7000 beta install?.

MY BAD GRim ... ,

but to be true its really confusing so i cant upgrade from WIN 7 beta to RC ..

well if i want to freshly install do i need all the drivers ? or it will download itself ... ? and i see we can install RC using DVD ... is tht true ?

Plz lemme know ... its really confusin ..

You can upgrade but you would need to modify a file in the .iso, clean install would be better though.

If you never had a problem getting the drivers with the beta i doubt it would be a problem with the RC, and yes you can install from a DVD (is that not how you did it with the beta?).

Yes you can burn the ISO to DVD with something like UltraISO, PowerISO, Image Burn, Nero or even the native support for burning ISO in Windows 7 which can be access by right clicking the download ISO and selecting Open with and Windows Disc Image Burner.



You will have generic driver pre installed with windows but you may want to install your motherboard chipset drivers etc. if you have them, if you are installing drivers make sure you use Vista one if available or Windows 7 drivers would be even better but so far the only drivers I have seen so far specifically for Windows 7 are the Nvidia drivers.
