Official Windows 7 RC Available Right Now!

[kpo6969]

The previous 7100s seen before 4/24 were polluted and chopped up a bit where someone simply took an older build and swapped a few things out as well as inserting a few bugs in some of them for the guilable. The hashes weren't on display at that time.

At this point no one even has to worry about downloading anything off of any torrent site since you can go direct to MS and download both RCs directly! When something coming directly from the manufacturer(MS in particular) I generally never even have to look at the hashes to begin with.

Then why keep re-hashing it?

Can i Upgrade my XP to W7 as a Fresh OS in C:

is this going to Harm my other Drives??

No. as long as your other drives are not apart of c drive if you have D E F drive as your hard drive then win 7 wont touch those ^_^

Do any of you have 2 monitors? and can you watch a movie on the other screen?
Im experiencing difficulties ... and even my file windows lag on that screen i dont think its my processor because it worked right in the last build just fine.

Hello Cncmasterw.

Check what the refresh rate is set at on the second monitor. Win 7 sets mine at 30 Hertz at install; you may have the same issue.




Later :shock: Ted

Why will people still download off torrents?
Habit
Have no real understanding of Rc= release canidate
Have no understanding of build numbers already I read
"7106 is newer then 7100 RC"
Trying to get things for free
In some cases ignorance (may not be bliss in this case):sarc:

So I expect a post about 7111 or something any day now.

One thing I'm checking out at this time is noticing the "Windows 7 Operating System Release Candidate" seen on the license agreement while not seen during the 7100 leak installs! I also found all updates already included! Like I was saying the leaks were prior to the last minute prepartions for the general public availability while the 4/24 was found free of bugs.

If you got the original leak and the hashes/crc match (as we said they would about a week ago) then it is EXACTLY the same file.

There was nothing fake or sceptical about the 7100 leaked, unless you ended up with some modded copy and not the original.

So windows 7 comes along as an upgrade for Vista and they want us to try it for free and help debug it before general release. Then charge all the customers who already paid for Vista again to essentially buy a fix to the crappy product they sold in the first place. You gotta hand it to Microsoft, capitalism at its finest.....

It certainly looks like that.

That will be the bane of Microsoft's when the official release will be upon us.

People, who didn't want to shell out for Vista, will not be happy when regular pricing for 7 is the same as any other new MS release; especially now more than Vista because in their eyes it is a minor upgrade.

I have been trying to follow this, however when I try to copy the disk to my HD it copies down to 20 seconds the hangs trying to copy a file "spwizing.dll". Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?

Here's the info you requested!


Microsoft recommends users to do a clean install rather than upgrading from Windows 7 Beta (or any other builds) to Windows 7 RC build. It is not possible to upgrade your Windows 7 Beta to RC unless you bypass the check for the pre-release upgrade. Even though this is not recommended by Microsoft, below are the steps to bypass this check (from the E7 blog):

• Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD
• Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the pre-release build)
• Browse to the sources directory
• Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad
• Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000
• Save the file in place with the same name
• Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed

(atleast this confirms the new 7100 milestone)

So, make sure you backup your machine or use Windows Easy Transfer to move your accounts, settings, files etc., and then install Windows 7 RC.

I decided to "upgrade my leaked 7100" with the MS release since some seem to claim updates in the official but I doubt it.
Still I'm doing it.
