I have an HP Media center PC that has the Viiv 920-D processor with 4GB of RAM. I hate Windows, but had to sell my MacBook so my Fiance and I could get into a new apartment together. I want to try version 7 as it has items of interest to me, but I am not one to continually wipe and reload my machine, can you upgrade from the test releases of 7 available now to the final release when ready? Or do you have to wipe? I apologize, but I am from a Solaris environment and then OS X.
