    Hey Everyone,

    Ok so I bought my M17x R2 with Windows 7 Home Premium..and now I want to upgrade to Win7 Ultimate!

    I came across Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade and I was wondering whether anyone has done this?

    Does your data get wiped out, 'cos I have a lot of stuff on my laptop?

    Thanks,
    Darthmaniac

    It just upgrades after a few reboots. Nothing happens to your data, installed programs, etc.

    Only Windows 7 gets upgraded. (win7 64 Home Premium --> Ultimate for me)
