Upgrade to Build 7022?

[sandeep]

I'm running Build 7000 at the moment, is there anyway it can update to 7022 or do I have to download the whole OS and do an upgrade?

You need to download build 7022 if you want to upgrade to it.

Yeah, just download the iso and mount it with a virual drive manager and run the upgrade. Worked fine for me although its always recommended to do clean installs of beta builds especially interim ones.

Whats the difference between the builds? Also, I forget, but if I get that can I upgrade my 7000 build? Without losing stuff?

The differences have been listed in a couple of posts here. If you upgrade you will not lose stuff.

Personally Id wait for RC1 in April.

Personally i would rather have a build than is over a month newer than 7000. lol

From the nfo from my BT tracker where I got it from...And yes the upgrade doesn't mess with any of your apps or data.

Changes from build 7000 :

1. The new sidebar color that was shown in previous screenshots. See below?

2. New Paint, as we saw in previous screenshots. See below?

3. HomeGroup gets a new icon. See below?

4. IE8 updated to RC1

5. Faster search in startmenu, instant.

6. General higher stability in OS

7. New animations when moving between things in Windows Explorer

8. Desktop Gadget Gallery is the new name for Sidebar. It gets a new icon!

To bad there's no 64-bit version of 7022 (or higher) out there for download yet... Curses!

 

[Lordbob75]

Yeah I guess I will wait till the 64 bit comes out!

Yeh I've been looking for a 64bit version, not available yet, so I guess 7000's going to have to stay for a bit.

My 7032 x64 runs great Just like 7022 x64 did

 

[sandeep]

Now where did 7032 come from :S I thought 7022 was the latest?

 

[DiamondNRG]

I think 7036 is actually, but I do not have that.

 

[win7]

Is there a x86 version of 7032? i Can't see/find this build anywhere?

And you had 7022 x64?? mmm, proof?

 

[sandeep]

I didn't have the x64 7022, but I just started this thread for info on upgrading on the builds.

I was refering to this post:

But yes you can upgrade the builds... though i personally would do a clean install
