Upgrading B2 to RC1

[Anon]

Hi,

I have downloaded the RC1 and ran it to upgrade but upgrade isn't available,
I have to do a clean install. Thing it is it asking for PID again, and I
can't find the one I had, is there anywhere I can get a new one.

Choose to download. You will need a Live Login ID. same as your hotmail or
msn ID. go thru a a bunch of steps. You will see a PID in yellow box. If you
have already acquired a copy of Build 5728 you can stop and use the given
PID. otherwise proceed to download ISO image.

Start the DVD with Beta 2 running to get the upgrade. Booting straight from
the DVD gives only the custom install option.
