Switch to Ultimate

Midnight Cowboy

Hi gang,

I recently installed Zorin 12 Core alongside Windows 10. I'm now wishing I had installed the Ultimate version and have a couple of questions:

1. What is your opinion of Ultimate v Core?
2. Is it a smooth transition to switch to Ultimate when dual booting with Windows 10, and where can I find instructions to do this?

Best,
MC

All I can say is you need to check my post here so you can see the differences:

Swarfendor437, thank you for the reply. Nice post and very helpful!

I've made the decision to switch if it's not a big ol' PITA. I'm looking for info on how to switch--is there a way to upgrade from Core to Ultimate? If not, would I need to uninstall Core and install Ultimate, or reformat the disk and start over? I am dual booting with Windows 10.

Thanks,
MC

Hi, take a look at Wolfman's post install guide and in particular section on upgrade:

Main difference is that Ultimate has many more apps. That, said, I have my share of crashes with it. I'm keeping Core on the other hard drive in case I need to go to back to it. But even then, because I am a premium member, I have better support, so it's worth the 15.00 (a bit more over here on the States).
