Just a rumor.

Upgrade worked perfectly for me. It does a fresh install and then copies all settings and files from the old installation and also re-installs drivers. I did not burn it onto a DVD or use an dvd-image program. I just unpacked all files from the ISO to a temp folder on the HDD with 7-Zip and installed from there.

But when I upgraded it did not copy the Catalyst 9.2 driver for Vista but used the WDDM 1.1 beta driver instead as I mentioned above. The driver date is from march, so I guess it's based on fresh driver.

But as it's still beta OS you can do a new install too if you like, just up to your preference.

Note: It asks you for the key again so have your beta key ready.

Ok, up and running on my lappy no problem. If I do an upgrade from 7000 on my other machine you said it copies all settings and files, will I need to re install my programs?

Nope, it copies everything automatically. It just doesn't install the new system files over the old installation, instead doing it reverse. Worked really well for me, but is still beta so experience might differ.

Odd, my installation of Seven 64bit (7057) took about 20 minutes and boots reasonably fast. AMD platform bug maybe?

Dont think so. Installed win7 7057 x64 last night and haven't encountered any issues yet. It's running quite smooth and WMC works very well with my TV card. All drivers installed without issue. Havent tried any games yet.

btw, its x64 Athlon 4000/nforce4 on this computer.
