    We rely on people like you to use the software before it’s commercially released. So if you haven’t already installed the RC, please go ahead. Having thousands of people use the software helps us test thousands of hardware and software combinations—a key to making things work great for you.



    Getting started

    You don’t need to do anything special to help with the testing. All you need to do is use the RC, and your PC will send information to our engineers.

    IMPORTANT: If you are using the Windows 7 Beta, you will need to do a clean installation of the Release Candidate. The Installation Instructions will help you get started. Read them first to make sure you’ve got the information you need for a smooth installation.

    As you use the RC, we hope you’ll discover:

    -
    It works the way you expect: it’s fast, reliable, and works with your hardware and software
