Windows 7 Beta Stops Working On August 1st?

[Mark]

Hmmm..... there seems to be a post missing here when he realized that he was looking at 2 different screens with about information in them, here are the 2, the one with the date you get from going to start and typing winver and the other is from the about in the welcome screen.

"No date for me, fully activated. Mine never runs out"

How did you manage that?

Mr Grim is correct. There are two different views of the about window. One with the date and one without it. The quote I said above about never running out was a joke.

I bet you wish it was true though Mr Grim

OMG

HoW can we get RC?
:huh:

 

[t41]

There are plenty out there available from different torrent sites. No I will not post where I got mine, but I am sure it's not any different than 80% of the others people are using.

Mine says good through March -1st -2010

I know of a couple that do not run out at all

 

[kiralyka]

Wow nice. THX

RC will be released the same way beta was through official channels.

Where would you be getting this info? Every copy of Windows 7 will run out, and don't say they're 'CRACKED' versions as that's just asking for trouble.

I wasn't talking about specific illegal stuff, I was just saying I got in trouble at school for it.

And there has to be a way to stop it since it's in the code and there must be a way to remove or modify that code that causes that message that keeps restarting your computer.

And if not, then back to the other idea of backing up my program files and registry and stuff from win 7, then doing a fresh vista install and replacing the 7 registry backup over the vista registry and moving back all my program files and stuff. Could that work? Or is 7's registry too different?

And what's this about a RC win 7? Will that be free to download like this beta was?

Crap, should have noticed this earlier >_<

In short you are gonna have to get your wallet out at some point unless you enter the darkside....

Do you by any chance have at least the xp key though? That was used with the xp install before you installed 7? If so just download an xp disk and use your own key.

From 7057 the expiration date is 2010.

i have windows home basic activated on my computer and i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on dual boot. I think i will wait for August 1 to upgrade my Vista home basic to windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, the windows vista basic is really a miss match for my computer, which has Pentium core 2 quad 2.33 GHz (Q8500) processor and 8 GB DDR2 800 MHz Transcend RAM mounted. I realy love the windows 7 task bar and the aeo features. I realy dont care if my hardware is 64 bit cause windows 7 is running perfectly, i have got all the required drivers from automatic update

 

[idolbredrin]

I want to know if my system is 64 bit compatible

 

[Termana]

If you downloaded the 64-bit version and installed it, how could you not know? (the screenshot says your running a 64-bit operating system, which means, yes you are on a 64-bit processor)

 

[win7]

Ha Ha, that is the most amusing question i have read this morning

 

[jfar]

Hi,idolbredrin,as Teemana said, your running a 64bit Operating System, it says so on the picture that you uploaded, under where it says, Memory Ram,was there a specific reason why you needed to know?

 

[idolbredrin]

even when i loaded windows 7 64 bit on my 4 years old AMD Athlon 64 with 1 GB DDR RAM 333MHZ it read 64 bit system , but i know for sure my pc was running slow and was not ready for 64 bit OS, am just interested in knowing if there is anything such as 64 bit hardware. My hmotherboard CD wont work on windows 7 64 bit ultimate , but amy not crying i got all the drivers from automatic updates my processor /memory rating is 7.1, my video 3 D rating is 4 am not complaining cause i have an onboard video card which sux

 

[idolbredrin]

what do i need to do to take my rating to 5.9

If you want to see if your processor is 64 bit capable, you can click the 'Windows Experience Index' link from the screen you posted the the 'view/print details' button to see.

Though since you are running 64 bit your processor can obviously support it. But if you want to check it on another computer, that's where to look.

 

[idolbredrin]

sorry am a cry baby, but i did purchase windows vista home basic and its such a waste cause it only reads upto 3300 MB RAM whats the most economical way to upgrade for indin users . Is my money down the drain , or I have a way out

I'm not sure exactly what influences 'Desktop Performance for Windows Aero' other than presumably a mix between graphics capabilities and RAM. It's my lowest score as well.

Even after you move that up, you'll still have to get a better graphics card (assuming you're not using a laptop) to increase your score there as it's also below 5.9.
