    Win 7 build upgrade recomended?


    Is it recomended to install new builds?

    I use the 7100 RC one and i see theres enw builds out there. Does win update itself on builds? do i get the fixes the new build has? Still in sys info it sais i use 7100 so i guess its not selfupdated.

    What do i do?

    Windows wont update itself with further builds since all these builds are unofficial leaks. The only two official releases are the 7000 beta and 7100 rc.

    Personally I wont be bothering with any further builds now but its up to you. There wont be anything major added to windows.

    A similar question.

    I am currently running 7000, would you recommend an upgrade to 7127 or are the changes not that many to justify the work? What would those be?

    If 7000 is meeting your needs and you are not having any issues, then no, you don't need to upgrade. On the other hand, if you are having issues, I would suggest you back up your data, then do a clean install of build 7127. You will need time to re-install all of your applications and such. You might try using Windows Easy File transfer wizard in 7000 to backup your settings and data. Then use it again to restore everything back after the clean install of build 7127.

    Thanks wguimb, no 7000 doesnt give me any issues at all - well, actually there is an issue where it seems Windows' own window handling hangs for some reason under another user account, but this might be also due to the "send feedback" patch - but then neither XP gave me any issues :), however I am wondering whether 7127 came with any important bug or security fixes to justify an upgrade or whether the differences are just of minor nature.

    Is there a list available with the changes?

    Hi, well if I was you, I would at least go from 7000 to the official 7100, there are a lot of fixes
    between the two, and afterwards you can decide if you want to go on and install the latest 7127.Dont forget, do a fresh install.
