QUESTION :
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.
