Is there any want for a Copy of Windows 8 Release Preview that I modded to make it possible to upgrade from the Consumer Preview? When I say upgrade I mean having the ability to keep all files, folders, Apps,etc. Without doing a clean install?

This ^ ^ ^

I'm just curious.

I was able to do that without a special disk image. And you realize that you basically said "upgrade from the Release Preview to the Release Preview"?

lol I corrected my wording my bad. What I meant was upgrading from Consumer Preview to Release Preview without loosing anything.

Without "loosing"?
Anyway, great work! Finally, the lame MS Display driver issue fixed.

Tried it.
Lost my whole HDD.

@ Beta was this the orginal ISO that didn't support upgrading that well?

This would have been so useful to me last week. I had the CP with all of my files on it, and when I installed the RP, it didn't make a windows.old folder! It just deleted all my files. Nice work, though!

I can probably do the same thing with the RTM. I've been hearing that quite a bit I was delayed by the minor fact that I was on the road when the Release Preview was released and only had a laptop with me. So when I got back I started playing around with it in a safer environment aka Vmware Workstation. Thus far on the machine I'm typing from I can say no issues have presented themselves. I have more I can toy with though. I don't know about upgrading from the Release Preview to RTM however but given the nature that there trying to go gold in a month I'll decide then.

According to MDL forums , you surely can. Change the iso to a certain filename, then mount it. Some say it's possible.
