Hi guys,

I'm kinda n00b :) but getting the hang of it. I was just woundering next friday the full version / final will come out. Should I do a reinstall of my current build or is it possible to upgrade? I'm not sure if no, I need to make some backups now : ) thnx for your information

Your choice, a simple upgrade will avoid having to re-do any customization you have done.
It is always a good practice to have backups but they most likely won't be needed.

You should backup no matter if you do an upgrade or a clean install....
