Upgrade Windows 8 RC /RP to Windows 8 Pro / Windows 8 Enterprise RTM
Upgrade Windows 8 RC to Windows 8 Pro / Enterprise by following these instructions:
  • Extract the Windows 8 ISO or copy all files of the Windows 8 DVD to your HDD.
  • Browse to the 'Sources' folder and open the file cversion.ini.
  • Then find the entries as in the attachment below
  • Change the value MinClient value to a value lower than one of the RC, so e.g. 8200 and save the file.
  • Now start the installation and pick Upgrade

The Windows 8 will now start and you will keep all your files and applications.


Be sure to check out the rest of our forum:

Below are the entries to look for in the cversion.ini file.

Thanks again dominator , just upgraded from win8 release preview to win8 enterprise
without any problem. Took about 30 minutes extra than a clean install.
shame on MS for not enabling this by default

thanks
