Upgrading from WB7 to WB8
Sunday, June 23, 2013 by BigDogBigFeet | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi All,
I want to install WB8.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 and WB7.
Do I ??
1 De-install WB7 first using control panel?
2. Reboot.
3. Install WB8.
4. Reboot
This is correct??
Thanks.

I backed up my skins before doing it, but it didn't turn out to be necessary.

I installed WB8 over WB7. No need to uninstall and it works great!

It's not required, but I always recommend backing up skins, and do an uninstall/reboot.

There are a few ways you can do it. I had a large hard drive so I choose to partition the hard drive and install win8 on the partition and now I can use either. Windows 8 comes with a boot screen so when it starts it ask you which OS you want to use.
Check out this read and it will tell you about a clean install or an upgrade. There are a lot of very experience people on here that may have a specific solution for you.
