Can I upgrade from RC from RTM safely?

question defines all, i wanna upgrade my current RC installation with RTM without harming it and losing data, is it possible? or a fresh install is the only way?

I always prefer to start fresh. But you can do an upgrade if you like. Atleast I had the option to when I installed RTM.

Quite a few people on the forum have reported problems upgrading from earlier builds to RTM. So i would recommend a fresh install.

Microsoft recommends clean, most ppl here do as well. Can you upgrade yes but you never know when, where, and how the glitches will show up

thanks, you guys are right, it is better to shed laziness and make a fresh install or would land into even bigger trouble :P
Anyone knows how to permanently activate it??

to last you until then. Make sure you install the same version as your are planning to buy or you could see yourself having to reinstall in October.

thanks guys

Hey :)

I've tried to upgrade to RTM, but there was an error, so I have to do a clean installation.

P.S.: I've read that there is trick to extend RTM up to 360 days via registry, but I haven't tested it yet. sry for my english : /

Has ANYONE upgraded from RC to RTM successfully?
