Do you know what's involved in switching from F7-testN to F7-final?  I
just got my new laptop yesterday[0].  I'm under a bit of pressure to
switch over to the new laptop[1], but I've been holding off until F7 is
out.  I've always had bad luck upgrading from one OS release to another.
 I always do a fresh install.  If it's easy to switch, though, maybe it
would be worth a try.

laughably inadequate Celeron 466 FrankenBox.
