Windows 7: Downloads No Longer Available

Fizban · 19 Mar 2009

I originally downloaded Windows 7 Build 700 over two months ago from the following site: Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview Program

I decided earlier to download the x64 version as my laptop has a 64 bit processor (T7200 C2D) and figured I'd see if there'd be much of a performance jump moving up to the x64 edition of Win 7. The page above states the download is no longer available though. Are there any sites where I can download a copy of Windows 7 x64 or is it more or less too late and I'm stuck with x86?

You can still get it from torrent sites.

Also curious, I see the posts regarding Build 7048 and 7057. My version of Windows 7 lists itself as Build 7000, is there an option to upgrade to one of the newer builds that I'm somehow missing? I've gotten all the Windows Updates over the past few months, but never seen the option to upgrade to an entirely different build release. I know there were leaked copies of Build 7000 released, but to the best of my knowledge mine was not one of them as I downloaded it from microsoft.com

The only way to do an upgrade is by torrenting one of the newer .iso's and running the upgrade option. Windows update doesn't do that part. Small nova has the 7057 and the 7048 but it takes a long time to download them.

7048 x86 and x64 are also available on usenet.

Anyone have a direct link to 7047 or 7058 x64 Builds that they know first-hand work? Would hate to spend hours downloading a file to find out it's not legitimitely what its labeled as.

We are not supposed to post those types of links here. When you use torrents you take your chances but many here have had good luck getting them to work.

Odd says: Sorry, Windows 7 Beta downloads are no longer available. You can still register for a product key or look up the key you've already gotten (...) when I go to the page.
