Hi @Anel Hodzic ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

The Visual Studio 2022 Release Candidate (RC) is available in the current channel. You can download it from: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Once Visual Studio 2022 17.0 releases, you can directly upgrade RC to the release version.

For Visual Studio 2022 Previews, it only contains the latest preview release. The Preview and RC version can be installed side-by-side on the same machine.
If you only have the Visual Studio 2022 Preview installed on your computer, you cannot directly upgrade it to the release version in the future. I suppose you need to make install from scratch.

Sincerely,
Anna
