    you can update with build 7100 if your current build is 7077 without any tweaking of system at all. Just start the install and select the update option when it shows up and it will install the new version.

    What I've been doing here without problem is simply using the custom option and selecting the partition when going to install each one. The installer will then pack things up from the previous build into the Windows.old folder you can save files out of before tossing that.

    Guys i got 7100 installed as upgrade and it was done seemlessly. i'm impressed. never like doing upgrades but since this is a testing OS i dont mind.

    any ways why does this 7100 not say RC on the build ? i recall vista RC1 said RC1

    Hi there.

    didn't you score a Penalty for Manchester United against Tottenham yesterday.
    Didn't know you were a W7 fan.

    Ye'p I'm surprised that it doesn't actually say Release Candidate on the build anywhere - just Evaluation version.
    Maybe the Marketing people have got a few screws loose.

    Cheers

    hi jimbo, yes i did score yesterday twice :) yes i am a fan of windows 7

    or this aint the real RC?

    I used 7057 and 7068 and this gives me lower score in the Windows Index, when i did the test aero was still activing...normally it goes to basic and does the test.

    I'm patiently waiting for the Technet Plus release....it will be interesting to compare notes at that time. Only a few days to go I think.

    Guys ,what is expiration date after upgrade and clean install?
    Is there a difference?
    And ,I'm still wandering - is this RC after all?!

    I'm glad to see you are "patiently waiting"! since this latest leak has been very cleverly worked to give the appearance but revelations are upon us again!



    How do you like the new sig as well taken from the Classic Vista theme following a startup repair after resizing the 7100's? or whatever's primary!
