I decide this morning that I would upgrade my Vista Beta 2 build to RC1 on my Tablet. That’s right – upgrade. I was speaking to Steve yesterday and he started from scratch, so I decided to try the other path (that’s my logic for being lazy and I’m sticking by it).
It’s been running for an hour so far.
Not sure yet whether I’ve been foolish. I’m normally a bit wary of upgrades because you can never be 100% sure about what you’ve got, especially when upgrading a beta to a release candidate.
What have I lost if it all goes horribly wrong – a few hours of computer time. The upgrade doesn’t need watching and I have other equipment to work on while its running. I can always start from a clean install at a later date.
As a further complication, I thought I would see if it was possible to complete the upgrade without plugging in a keyboard – so far so good.
