I used this guide to upgrade from Beat to RC but it appears Microsoft has axed this "hack" as now the "Checking Compatibility" operation cycles endlessly.

While it did prevent the error message "Can't upgrade this version of windows" from coming up during the Checking Compatibility step, it didn't alleviate the other error messages such as "You can't upgrade a 32 bit to 64 bit windows version" or "You can't upgrade a 64 bit to 32 bit version of windows", even though I'm upgrading 64 -> 64. If you have the same issue, download a torrent that has a UPGRADE64.zip file. That did the trick for me. You can search for it at the pirate bay. This method didn’t work for me.
