Downloads No Longer Available

[Fizban]

I originally downloaded Windows 7 Build 700 over two months ago from the following site: Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview Program

I decided earlier to download the x64 version as my laptop has a 64 bit processor (T7200 C2D) and figured I'd see if there'd be much of a performance jump moving up to the x64 edition of Win 7. The page above states the download is no longer available though. Are there any sites where I can download a copy of Windows 7 x64 or is it more or less too late and I'm stuck with x86?

You can still get it from torrent sites.

Also curious, I see the posts regarding Build 7048 and 7057. My version of Windows 7 lists itself as Build 7000, is there an option to upgrade to one of the newer builds that I'm somehow missing? I've gotten all the Windows Updates over the past few months, but never seen the option to upgrade to an entirely different build release. I know there were leaked copies of Build 7000 released, but to the best of my knowledge mine was not one of them as I downloaded it from microsoft.com

The only way to do an upgrade is by torrenting one of the newer .iso's and running the upgrade option. Windows update doesn't do that part. Small nova has the 7057 and the 7048 but it takes a long time to download them.

7048 x86 and x64 are also available on usenet.

Anyone have a direct link to 7047 or 7058 x64 Builds that they know first-hand work? Would hate to spend hours downloading a file to find out it's not legitimitely what its labeled as.

We are not supposed to post those types of links here. When you use torrents you take your chances but many here have had good luck getting them to work.

I would suggest you download build 7048 x64 or build 7057 x64. There are many many places you can get the ISO files on the internet at broadband speeds. PM me for links. Hundreds of thousands of people are running these builds and some are reporting bugs to Microsoft. They know who is using these leaked builds and they know leaks will occur. So, they are taking advantage of the telemetry data pouring in to fix issues. It's OK to run these leaks. Stay away from build 7000, it's just too old at this point IMHO.

well its not that old...
a 3 month build is till a useful and like i said officially supported by MS...
also if you have bluescreens and such we can only be debugged in build 7000 (since they MS gave the symbols out for only that build....)

i say go for it but dont say we didnt warn ya...
at least with bluescreens and debugging that is..
every else we can help with..

Aye, I'm a developer myself (albeit of much smaller sized projects than Windows) and figured that they'd more or less just be happy with additional feedback and care less about who is sending feedback than what the feedback is as it means far more money in the long run for them to make a better OS than to have a few hundred/thousand people using it illegally costs them. A bit late, actually on 7057 x64 at the moment right now (I downloaded it earlier today since making the post) and have had no issues so far other than the known desktop.ini file popping up which was quickly fixed. Anyone used 7061 yet to know if it has enough changes to be worth updating to?

Great to hear. I am using 7057 x86 and no bugs to speak of. Rock solid for me.
7067 was the build for 090317-1922 is what I understand. If that is the case then today's build is 7069 for internal, private, ISV, hardware partners, and developers. Not likely to leak.

There is a fake torrent purported to be build 7061 in the wild which is FAKE and a trojan is reported in the downloaded files. However, I did see on Connect bug reports that an internal tester has submitted a bug for build 7061. So, the build is real just not leaked.

This is true, i mean i still send feedback from 7057, in all honesty i don't think they really care, and even if they did i would lmao if i got a call or visit from microsoft. Very unlikely, they probably appreciate it as some of the bugs are fixed from 7000>7057 and it will cause less repeat reports.

Hi guys, hes actually talking about Microsoft Connect

Register with this code: WIN7-3HQW-RF74 and you can download it any time in various forms, 32bit, 64, and releases.

Hope that helps.
