it means my data will be lost

Easy, get Macrium Reflect Free right now and make an image of your system.

Not if you have backup software and somewhere to save it to.

how about more specs on you PC and setup

Just wondering, why did wait until you only had 48hrs left before expiration to get your questions answered?

Just wondering what system specs have to do with Win 7 trial expiration...

If he has used Windows 7 Beta/RC this long then I'd think he genuinely wants it at this point.

Macrium Reflect Free.

I believe RC starts shutting down every two hours now until June 1st when it actually stops working. It should give you plenty of opportunity to retrieve your files.

If you want to safeguard your files now, use an external drive or DVD's.

If you don't have those, shrink Win7 and copy your files to a logical data partition you create in the shrink space. They will still be there once you wipe the Win7 partition to clean install Win7 retail.

Microsoft really should have notified people this was going to happen....



Oh, wait - They did. Repeatedly

Not if you back your data up. Read the replies in the the thread.

[smarteyeball]

No, Microsoft will give it all back to you if you ask nicely...



Of course you'll lose your data if you don't back it up and do a fresh installation :sarc:

Fresh Installation = clean, wiped , all data gone bye-bye.
