Can I upgrade from Visual Studio 2012 (11) RC to Final / RTM?

3.5k views Asked by At

I have noticed that there are a lot of improvements in Visual Studio 11 when it comes to the designer, and I really want to switch to 2012 as fast as possible.

The question is - if I download the Release Candidate now, can I then just "reinstall" or upgrade to the RTM/final version when that is out, or do I need to uninstall and mess about?

This question, regarding VS 2010, and its answer says that you need to uninstall everything, but when it comes to 2012 I read that upgrading from BETA to RC is just an install, no need to uninstall.

I have tried searching for an answer, but to no avail.

Oh darn it, I got it to work.

Just found the answer, I think "Supported: Upgrade from Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate to Release (RTM) (same edition only - e.g., Professional RC to Professional RTM)" (microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/compatibility)
