8) thanks for the reply, exactly the info i needed , thank you !!!!

Flawless upgrade, thanks from the Great White North!

Upgrades went fine on 4 machines (32 and 64 bit).

My SG33G5 (latest 3.8 upgrade) running and testing some of the tools I've put together overtime.

Did the upgrade on my Thinkpad X220 today. The whole operation (install updates (for 3.6), reboot, install upgrade, check for updates) took all of about 10-15 minutes. I already had TLP installed (highly recommended for Thinkpad users!) and Lite Tweaks recognized that.

Ran 64bit  upgrade on the Fuji Si1520 after backing up data to usb stick. Ran smoothly .  Then updates.  All seems sweet.
Thanks to LL Team

Fast and flawless upgrades on two systems so far.
Thank you LL team!

Seamless on 3 machines.  Just followed upgrade guidelines.  One was from ll3.4 > ll3.8.
