Upgrade VS2022 preview to release version

I have Visual Studio 2022 Preview installed and would like to replace it with the release version that went live yesterday.

When I started VS and checked for updates, it let me upgrade from the previous release candidate to Preview 1.0, but not the actual release version.

Is it possible at all to replace the preview with a release version, or do I have to install them side by side (and delete the preview)?

This is the version I have now: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Preview Version 17.1.0 Preview 1.0

No need to reinstall or to uninstall. Just download the installer of the channel you want and start it. Once the installer finished updating the installer check again the solution from @antarct and it should show you the option to change.
