Can you upgrade Win7 by removing your Visual Studio?

If you are a Windows Vista user and are using both .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010, you will encounter minor issues when upgrading from in-place to Windows 7, a Microsoft employee, Scott Hanselman, said in a blog post recently. .NET Framework 4 Beta 1 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 do not fully support direct upgrades from Vista to Windows 7, which causes them to be slow and unstable.

Vista users using .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 can upgrade to Windows 7 RTM in two ways:

1. Uninstall, upgrade, reinstall

- Uninstall Visual Studio 2001 Beta 1;

- Uninstall .NET Framework 4;

- Upgrade to Windows 7;

- Reinstall .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1.

2, new installation: If you do not want to do the above troublesome steps, then you can choose Windows 7 fresh installation (Clean Install), this can also avoid the above incompatibility.

It is unclear whether this issue only appears in Beta 1, and I hope that the same problem will not exist in the next beta.
