in OS & Utilities Channel,
I will be installing windows 7 Professional purchased from microsoft. Following your example discussing the upgrade from RC1 to RTW will I have problems with the install since I will trying to upgrade or rather downgrade windows Ultimate to windows 7 Professional. I would sincerely appreciate any input you can provide. My reason for asking this is due to the fact that I have very successively used RC1 as my primary operating system since it was made available to the general public. Have only experienced a couple of minor problems to date.
Thank you for your help.

But it is more safe to save your data then make a new install.

I might be a little late with input on this one, but a clean install is definitely the way to go. I purchased Win 7 Pro "upgrade" in order to run a clean install on a laptop running RC1. Interestingly enough, the installation did not call for a disk check of an older product (Vista, XP etc.) in order to proceed with a full format. Yes, starting from scratch is a pain but you'll experience fewer problems in the long run.
