I had the 7100 beta client for ~4-5 months. I just bought the final release from my university for $7. To upgrade and not reinstall, I copied the DVD contents to my hard drive and modified the cversion.ini in the \sources directory to have a minclient version of 7000. Then all one has to do is run the setup.exe in the root image directory.
Then I ran into the problem of the setup telling me I didn't have enough free space on drive I:, which is my System reserved partition that windows 7 makes (I think the boot loader and memtest are on it). I tried to manually resize the partition to no avail. After Googling for solutions to this problem for a while, I simply ran the setup.exe as administrator and it upgrading as I type!
