    Is 7264 worth upgrading from 7229?


    A simple yes or no will do.

    If you have more description, feel free.

    I have installed every build from 7000 to 7229 when they came out and I am getting a little tired..

    So, if it's worth it, I'll do it.

    As RTM is round the corner. Installing a intimate build is not worth it.
    And if you are as crazy as me when it comes to new software it`s worth it. It gives you mental satisfaction that you are using the latest build.:)

    7264 is From the RTM brunch but not quiet RTM.
    There are also other builds in the RTm brunch.
    The newest is 7265.

    Don`t hope for a major UI Change..
    YA they could add some walls, sound and themes.

    I say upgrade (not clean install) for 3 reasons.
    1. It faster than build 7229.
    2. More stuff fixed & newest build.

    Tried updating from 7229 X64 and it does not let me!

    "You can’t upgrade this prerelease version of Windows 7. Go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings. "

    I have been upgrading since 7100 and now it does not work.

    I upgraded from 7229 to 7264. 7264 ran much slower than 7229 (all x64). I then did a clean install of 7264 and there was an improvement in overall performance, but it also seemed to introduce an AHCI bug on wake from sleep.

    I am keeping 7264 because I can run it with AHCI disabled. If I had to do it again, I would not.
