Uppgradera Consumer preview till färdig?

Rekommendera Poster

Någon som vet om man kommer behöva formatera om disk för att uppgradera till den färdiga Windows 8 versionen, eller kommer det komma en in-place-upgrade möjlighet?

Also note that the final release of Windows 8 will not support upgrading from any prior Windows 8 "Preview" release, though the migrate option will still be supported.

Visserligen från i februari, men troligen behövs en formatering.

Also note that the final release of Windows 8 will not support upgrading from any prior Windows 8 "Preview" release, though the migrate option will still be supported. In any upgrade scenario, you can run the Disk Cleanup Wizard to remove the previous installation in order to free up disk space. The download will also support boot from USB for a completely clean installation as well.

3. Can users upgrade from public Windows 8 releases that Microsoft has made available? Windows users who have installed the Windows 8 Release Preview on a PC can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro using the upgrade just as XP, Vista or 7 users can. Previous beta versions of Windows 8, like the Developer Preview or Consumer Preview, can not be upgraded.

 

Upgrading from the Windows 8 Release Preview limits the data that can be migrated to personal files, which means that installed apps and settings won't be carried over.

 

Microsoft did not reveal if additional information needs to be supplied by the user in the case of upgrading the Release Preview to Windows 8 Pro final.

Q: Can I upgrade from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview to the Release Preview?

 

A: While an in-place upgrade is possible from the Consumer Preview, the reality is that nothing is carried over and is instead placed in the Windows.old folder.

 

The only upgrade to maintain applications and settings is from Windows 7.

 

Remember there won't be a supported upgrade from the Windows 8 Release Preview to the final RTM release. It's also possible to upgrade from Windows Vista and Windows XP. However, applications aren't carried over and for Windows XP only, user accounts and files are maintained and not Windows settings.

 

Sen vet jag inte om det i alla fall finns nån 'workaround' men det officiella svaret kan läsas i första citatet ovan.

Lite fel av mig att fortsätta i just denna tråd.

Jag har Consumer Release.

 

Men jag testade att starta på minnet. Fick då veta att om jag ville behålla nuvarande inställningar skulle jag starta W8 som vanligt och därifrån köra setup.exe på USB-pinnen.

 

Detta gjorde jag och allt verkar ha funka. Fick vara med vid omstarterna bara eftersom jag satt USB som 1 och dessutom startar jag W8 i andra hand via Grub2.
