That’s the job completed, and although there is a fair bit of work involved, everybody who has done it agrees that it is worth the effort. A partial upgrade would be possible, using only selected keys, but that would mean sorting out another set of links. All the difficult and time consuming work is done in these simple to follow instructions, so . . . what are you waiting for?
