You wanna get WIN7 Ultimate DUTCH x64 ISO with service pack 1 included?
ok good idea, will try
1 question:
my pc is a dell with windows 7 home (ie i don't have the windows dvd for this as it's pre-installed)
However, i have upgraded it myself to windows 7 ultimate (for this version i DO have the retail DVD)
plse confirm i can use THIS dvd, to do the repair install..?
Good question... i doubt it as bought it pretty much when it 1st came out.
will check this evening. but noted that it MUST have SP1, so if needed wil download according the instruction
on that website.
Windows 7 Professional SP1-U ISO
Dutch x64: X17-59236.iso
Download it and then do what's explainen here Create Windows 7 Universal ISO With All Editions Selection On Install with ei.cfg Removal Utility « My Digital Life
Burn the modified ISO using imgburn or richtclick ISO (win7 only)->"open with"->something like win7 burning image application.
Read carefully Repair Install
Note from tutorial!
Tip
ITEMS THAT WILL BE RESET TO DEFAULT OR AFFECTED:
- Sounds
- Services
- Visual Effects Settings
- Device Drivers - Be sure to have these handy to reinstall. They do not always remain after the repair (upgrade) install.
- You may lose the ability to sign on to MSN Messenger, to solve this problem have a look at this thread Unable to sign in to WLM.
- You may lose your custom themes due to not having permisions set on the old themes. Go to the hidden themes folder at C:/Users/(User-Name)/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes, then Take Ownership of the themes folder and you will now have all your themes back.
- It has been reported that you may also lose your Media Center gadget after doing the repair install.
- Windows Updates will need to be checked and reinstalled again.
ok that might be the simplest solution.Or just uninstall SP1 first and then do repair install from your DVD
will try & revert over teh weekend with results
cheers
