    I don't think so, i think you have to do a clean install.

    everytime I see one of these threads, a couple days later someone comes back and says it screwed up there install. And most of the people say it doesn't work. I'll wait and see on this one

    I've decided to wait until it comes out officially next year because i can't deal with the hassle of getting problems if something goes wrong.

    Had it for a few hours now.

    No problems yet. The transfer speeds are faster now even though i installed those performance and reliability packs a while back.

    I highly suggest this. No clean install needed.

    I can't seem to install one 200 and so KB update. It still comes on the update list every time I search for updates. I know this is because of my vLited installation, but anyone knows where I can get it from? Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB935509). Here is the link from Connect, maybe someone can upload it somewhere :).
