Windows 8 update - Windows 8

I am using Windows 7 now. And I want to update Windows 7 to Windows 8 directly without re-installation.

Can I update Windows 8 online now?

If I make Windows 8 updated, my files under system drive disappear or not?

Hi windows,

Windows8 not released yet, and if you want to update your system you need restore your important files first.

now if you want to update your windows 7 to win 8, you just can download the milestone version online or you can wait for the release of win 8 beta this middle September, according to Microsoft news.

Do not upgrade to Win 8 CP. This is a beta release that will deactivate sometime in October. If you wish to try this beta, set up a dual boot scenario to try it. If you do not know how then investigate, but do not destroy your main OS to install time limited beta OS. That is very risky.
