I found an official answer here:

http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-14-ctp-vs

"Installing a CTP release will place a computer in an unsupported state.
For that reason, we recommend only installing CTP releases in a virtual
machine, or on a computer that is available for reformatting."

So there is no promise that you will not need to reformat the system
during the evolution of the compiler.
