Now you have Beta1 installed, do your daily updates and you are uptodate.

is logic when you install beta 1 or alpha you make normal updates every day and if be how to beta 2, RC, and final stable release

In addition: the only reasons to do a fresh install are
- to get rid of old obsolete things (which only applies when updating over a long period of time and several releases, which does not apply here)
- to test the installer (which is one of the reasons to have different releases during a development cycle)
- if you borked a system beyond the point where it could be repaired (depending on your skills and knowledge and time)

For the time being and in Mageia's stage of development the second reason applies.
