Stupid quick question but I cant find it anywhere online and people are pretty quick to answer here, Does anyone know if when Android L comes out if the preview upgrades like it does on Mac?

Developer Michael Panzer saw this video over the weekend, shared it to his G+ timeline, and asked Hyndman if we could expect to see updates to the L preview at some point before the release is made stable to the public. Rich actually responded, noting that Theyll be some extras coming, like the 64bit emulator. But I dont believe new device images are coming. He later continued on, saying that the Android L preview release is primarily for developers to be able to test their apps and get them ready for the L launch.
I am more worried about it updating to the full release of L once it comes out. So the transition from Preview to Final release. I installed it on to my Nexus 7 and don't have really an compatibility issues so I just wanted to know if anyone knew if it can OTA upgrade to full final.
I think only Google has the answer to this.I am more worried about it updating to the full release of L once it comes out. So the transition from Preview to Final release.

Thank you, I guess your right though it is always better to do the fresh install over an update. I was just wondering if they had the option, the N7 being my first and only venture into Android puts me a little behind the learning curve hah.I think only Google has the answer to this.
This is always the safe answer to updating a Nexus device though; Download the factory image from the Google website here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and load it yourself with a fresh install, vice trying to keep your data from the L preview via an OTA update. Just move all your data to a PC, do the update, then move it back.
