You must make the following changes before upgrading Windows

    Uninstall the following Windows components and features:
    • Windows Internal Database - Please read Microsoft Knowledge Base article: 934345


I can't seem to find that knowledge base article, and when I followed the instructions I found in another knowledge base article about removing Windows Internal Database, a message popped up saying "This operation is only valid for products that are currently installed."
