Boot camp?

I have Windows 7 Home Professional 64 bit installed on my Mac. When Windows 8 comes out on Oct. 26, will I be able to do an upgrade of it, or will I have to back up my files and do a clean install? Thanks 😀

You can do a straight upgrade without losing your files. Back up your critical files first just in case.

That is yet to be seen. When Win7 came out, I did an upgrade and it made it so I couldn't boot to that disk anymore, I had to reinstall to recover it.
