A revative asked me to install Office 2010 on her PC. She has the Beta version installed now. Do I have to uninstall the Beta first? It is a Windows 7 system.
Any suggestions would be helpful (the setup guide does not cover it)
Thanks,
Office 2010 install over Beta

It is always best to completely deinstall Beta versions before installing the released software.

Always uninstall the beta first unless there is some specific in setup instructions saying you don't have to.

Re: Office 2010 install over Beta
You should uninstall the beta version first, then install the release version. Installing the release version over the beta version could lead to instability.
Uninstalling the beta version will not remove the documents that she has created in it (but, as always, making a backup won't harm), and many settings will also be preserved.
