Upgrading from Version 3.0 with Service Pack 1 installed to future versions of Windows CE for the Handheld PC.

When upgrading a device with Service Pack 1 installed to a future ROM-upgrade version of Windows CE for the Handheld PC, you must uninstall Service Pack 1 before backing up your device for the upgrade. If you do not uninstall before upgrading your device certain aspects of the new version may not function correctly.

Following the upgrade to a future version of Windows CE for the Handheld PC, there is no need to reinstall the Version 3.0 Service Pack.

If you backup your Handheld PC with Service Pack 1 installed and then attempt to restore to the same Handheld PC, some files may not be restored properly. If you receive an error in the restore process, reinstall Service Pack 1 after the restore is complete.
