Newbie questions
Hi, I'm new here - I have been having problems with Windows XP Pro 64 since the moment I installed it, and thought I would try out Windows 7 64 to see how much things have improved.
In many ways I like it better, but I did have some questions.
First, I am running build 7000 - by running Windows Update daily, am I receiving the O/S updates as well, to keep me up to date with the current builds? Or would I need to reinstall when a new major build is released?
Also, I understand that later this month no new people will be allowed to test the beta. Does that mean that future builds of the Windows 7 beta and release candidates will be unavailable to the public (and we, the current beta testers)?
Finally, is there somewhere I can read about what happens at the end of the beta? That is, will my O/S stop working when the real thing is released until I purchase it?
Thanks in advance!
