Its dead-simple, really. I think simply upgrading to the fedora-release 
package out of the final F7 tree and yum upgrading may be enough, but you may 
well need to enable or disable some repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ first. 
Thus far, I'm not aware of anything that won't upgrade cleanly between F7t4 
and F7 final, and F7 is in deep-freeze mode as of earlier today, so only 
critical/blocker bug-fixes will go in from here until release. An up-to-date 
rawhide box is going to be really close to what F7 final is.
