Agree +1 I upgraded from 7100 x64 to 7201 x64, flawless. I removed Avast and Mbam before starting upgrade. Upgrade ran compatibility and told me to restart my pc. Did that and went back started upgrade path again. Smooth during a few restarts I did see the click any key to boot from CD. Ignored that and watched setup do its thing. I reinstalled Avast and Mbam still no problems. Only thing I have found that changed is the font size in a notepad file that I have in quick launch tool bar. And of course the watermark! lm

I upgraded from 7100 x64 to 7201 x64 without it making me uninstall Avast. Or anything, for that matter. Did you click the 'check for installation updates' button before you started? I noticed that this one actually had one.

Thanks Azural, I uninstalled because I read that somewhere. Good to hear that you did not need to do that. Yes I did click on installation updates. I am still not noticing any unusual behaviors other than my own. enjoy lm

Hi there
I've had to revert back to 7137.

Acronis True Image Workstation build 8206 won't run on this build - "Blocked due to incompatability".

This is for me A MUST HAVE program -- 100% showstopper if this doesn't work -- I use this for backing up partitions and data. absolutely 100% essential.

I don't want to backup and restore from a boot recovery disk / usb every time

Cheers
jimbo.

Hey myzr7,

I just UpGraded my x64, too. I did not uninstall anything either, went very smoothly. took about 1.5 hours because of my Jiggabytes of downloads & programs already installed

Well thanks for that Doc, whens the next leak so I can try that out. But yeah I forgot to even back up my downloads.Worked out ok. lm

I got unexpected free time today, so i decided to take a plunge and ugrade my 7100x64 to 7201x64.
As reported, it took about 1hr30m, 5 reboots and 1 driver update (webcam didn't want to work, quick trip to dell drivers solved it for good).
Thus far no problems.

I did a clean install today, got everything back up how it was before in an hour. Took 12minutes(+-30secs for key), to get to my desktop using a USB flash drive. So far everything has been fine, but i see no difference in UI from 7100 except for that stupid double WMP icon which is fixed easily enough. Some hardware has been increased in score on the WEI as well.

Oh, i have yet to get and test updates with this build as well for those that had problems with it.
