Windows 7 - Build 7022 installation

Info from someone who installed the new build.

Windows 7 Build 7022: Thoughts on installation process and new features - JCXP

It asked me to join a homegroup during installation. Also, classic view for control panel is gone.

Edit: Ok, it's just labeled differently. Classic view is now either large or small icons from a pull-down list

A few visual changes? I don't think so. I have a nice legal official activated version. Unless something wow happens, I'm staying here. Maybe when I see those S.R.I numbers start going up.

Can this build be downloaded through torrents? I have one in cue now but I didn't want to waste my time if its not.

Yes. Mine finished downloading this morning.

I actually just installed it remotely using Live Mesh from my work computer to my home computer. And of course, now I will be unable to access my home computer until I get home. I did chose the Upgrade option but I think you have to go through a couple prompts after the Upgrade from 7000. That and I dont know if Live Mesh will still be installed and run at start up, even if there are no prompts and 7022 will just load up.

Wow. I was able to Upgrade my home computer from Build 7000 to 7022 via Live Mesh here at my laptop at work. Seems that even thought the computer restarted a few times Live Mesh always started up in the background and the cp connected to the internet even while the install was going on. Awesome stuff right there.

This version activates. Have fun staying on a six-week old beta

Nice, got it & tomorrow I will upgrade!!

I want the newer version but I'm unable to find it. Could you PM me with a link please? I'm going with the upgrade from 7000 because I have lots of programs installed and I'm a little too lazy to start installing from scratch.

Haha, i totally agree, this build was made on the 15th january, over a week after the 7000 was officially released and long after it was actually built.
