Windows 7 - Anyone had any trouble entering Beta Keys?

**Studulike** · 01-10-2009

Hello,
I signed up on Microsoft for the Beta 1 of Windows 7 just so that I could enter a valid key within my already installed copy of windows 7 but it comes up saying Keys seems to be invalid.
Do I just need to do a re-install? Bit of a pain if I do as would have to do as an upgrade now but that takes hours especially since I have same version installed anyway.

did you use any activators (you know what i mean..

)???

if you have open a command prompt and type

sfc /scannow

I just did the Upgrade of Build 6956 to Beta 7000 (32 bit). It worked flawlessly. All my settings & programs transferred. It activated with the 32 bit KEY I downloaded this morning. No problems at all. This is an older AMD 2400mhz box with 1gb ram. It seems very smooth & refreshing. I think it took about 1 hour to do the Upgrade. But I have not found anything missing yet. I think doing the Upgrade was worth the time waiting.

Thanks for that, did kind of think that might be my problem as yet activator was used. The thing is now don't seem to be able to remove and upgrade not moving from 0% so looks like a bloody fresh install again. lol
Oh well.

Thanks again
