Be warned, it does take some time - I recall it took 2 - 3 hours in total, but most of that time, it can be left to its own devices. I did have one problem in that it trashed the driver for my wireless keyboard and mouse, which left me a bit snookered but I replaced them at the end with USB versions which got me round the problem. Subsequent research suggested that was not an uncommon problem.
best of luck!
