Windows 7 builds and more [for Noobs]
Okay, so like some people I am a conplete Noob when it comes to Windows Seven. I have had it for less than a week, so it is still new to me. I love it a thousand times more than I ever did XP (I didn't swich to vista, so im comparing it to xp). Anyways, I have noticed that there are higher builds then the original 7000. Since I am new here I would like to ask the community some questions. Hopefully newcommers such as myself can read this and get some help themselves.
1.) How do I go about obtaining higher builds of Seven?
I am using 7000. I noticed most people have either 7068 or 7077. Are these ONLY leaked and can be obtained from torrents, or is there an update from MS?
2.) How do I install higher builds?
Once I get a higher build, will I have to completely re-image my PC? Or does it simply update my current version of Seven.
3.) What will happen when my time runs out?
Right now, windows says it will expire on 7/1/2009 at 5:00pm. If I update to a higher build, will it prolong this date? And if not, what happens when it expires? Will I simply not be able to use it? I am booting seven as my MAIN OS.
4.) Since I have the Beta, will I still have to pay for Seven when it comes out?
