How do I get a 64 bit version of Windows 7 6956? Or will the 6801 build automatically update to Beta 1 when it is released?
I'm switching back to Windows from Fedora 10 because it won't use my processor fully, can't run Google Chrome, has "authentication" problems, and is just generally a pain. I still have my Vista disk, but why go backwards?!?
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance! | My System Specs |

You can try build 6936 which is the x64 version, there is no 6956 x64 version that I know of. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self build OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Phenom II x4 Motherboard Gigabyte 880 Memory 8GB Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce HD Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 PSU Thermalake 550w Case XCase Hard Drives 2 x 1TB Internet Speed 8MB |

And the 6956 was stolen from a computer, so they did not get an x64 copy of it. | My System Specs | | |

Ah, thanks. Will it be easily updated when the beta is released? And I can run regular windows programs in it (Adobe CS4 in particular) if I run them in compatibility mode, right? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP2092 OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Chrome (soon) CPU Intel T9300 2.5Ghz Memory 4GB Graphics Card NVidia 8600M GT Screen Resolution 1650x1080 Internet Speed 30MB/s D 1.5MB/s U |

Oh and what is "Blue Badge rev3" (in your sig)? Is that what unlocks 7? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP2092 OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Chrome (soon) CPU Intel T9300 2.5Ghz Memory 4GB Graphics Card NVidia 8600M GT Screen Resolution 1650x1080 Internet Speed 30MB/s D 1.5MB/s U |

Yes, you will need blue badge rev3 for build 6936. Within Windows is the author's site.
Sorry I didn't see your other post.
I have not found a single program that would not run NORMAL. I have not even had to use compatibility mode. The only things I know that give problems are programs that did not work on Vista and some AntiVirus/Firewall type programs. Seems that most of us here are using Kaspersky or Avast. Some of the others do not work. And I use Adobe CS4 Master Collection just fine on Windows 7 build 6936.
As far as updating, you probably will not be able to update to the beta. There is a chance it will work, but plan for the worst. | My System Specs | | |

That's alright. I backup my programs often, so as long as this build works, I'm happy. I use NOD32, but I only started using that recently, so I can do with a different one, or none at all, at least for a while. Thanks for all the indepth info! You're awesome! I'll post again when I get it up and running. I have like 30 mins left on the download. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sager NP2092 OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Chrome (soon) CPU Intel T9300 2.5Ghz Memory 4GB Graphics Card NVidia 8600M GT Screen Resolution 1650x1080 Internet Speed 30MB/s D 1.5MB/s U |

I'll post again when I get it up and running. I have like 30 mins left on the download. No problem! And yes I do believe NOD32 is one of the ones that does not work right with Windows 7 so far.
