Do not upgrade your installation. Set up a dual boot and install Win 8 RP in a separate partition. This will allow use of both OS's.
If you upgrade you will loose the Win 7 apps and have to reinstall them as this upgrade requires a clean install. With the dual boot you can have both. This is the only way to go with a laptop. Then you can install just those apps you will actually use on Win 8 RP.
This is a time limited beta OS. It will deactivate shortly after Win 8 goes on sale this fall. Do not overwrite your Win 7 installation!
