Windows 7 - Windows 7 RC-7100 Leaked

Here are the boot.wim and the setup.exe for the 64-bit 7100 the install.wim is in my post above.

Mine came from smallnova.....

Even though the leaked torrent of the images match exactly to that which was made available to Technet/MSDN/Connect (still verify the hashes and CRC with the known values) and they will be exactly the same on the public offering on May 5th. I still don't blame anyone for waiting and getting it directly from MSFT.

Just please follow MSFT's recommendation to do a "clean" installation instead of an upgrade of any kind. Back up your important data (to a different partition or external device), use the MSFT Easy File Transfer (it really works) and then wipe your partition by deleting it, re-creating it, format it, and then install it. So many have done upgrades (in place or from boot) and are now flooding the various forums with issues caused by upgrading.

Also, keep in mind that you will have to do a clean install of the RTM when it released, so think about that as you continue to enjoy this fantastic RC of Windows 7.

The scans on the 7100s found at mininova came up clean on the 4/24. That's a switch from everything but the 7077s that were also clean. But these are still fast installs only for examination since others could easily be bugged.

Since the downloads for the RCs are going to be available far longer then seen for the 7000 builds in 2 days time you can ponder around for another month and a half whether to download the "real deal" free of worries or rush into something where you could end up in limbo some place. I'll stay with the real thing thank you!
