Windows 7 hits RC stage Build 7100

I have three machines all running Vista HP very happily - for me to upgrade even were the price to be the rumored £50 it would still set me back £150. Now as the alleged additional W7 benefits over Vista are very limited then I would have to be barking mad to spend that sort of money. I have heard that Vista SP2 will add some of W7's features in any event and I prefer the Vista UI anyway.

You don't have to upgrade them all at the same time ;)
 
Does anyone have a link to the latest Windows 7 Ultimate build for 64bit in iso format not vhd. Rapidshare, Deposit Files, etc prreferred to bit torrent.
 
Is there any way to get Windows 7 to use unsigned drivers as I'm trying to install an abit airpace wifi card so that I can have wireless internet on my machine but all the drivers for it (even the atheros ones that windows 7 comes with) seem to be unsigned so win 7 moans and won't run the driver?
Sorry if this has been covered in the thread already but I don't have time to read all the previous pages.

Thanks

E-mail me (address in sig) with a suitable subject and I'll send you the link. Not sure if I'm allowed to put such links on the forums so that would be best.

It has been confirmed at £79.99 has it not ? A full version at an initial discount for upgraders, because they aren't offering an upgrade version for Europe. It will go up to £149.99 after the end of the year. Is this right ?
 
Downloaded windows 7 64bit today, hour n half later im still trying to get it to install on my pc.

Specs are:

Phonem ii 720
250GB ide hard drive
160 GB sata hard drive.
4GB ddr2

As im writing this just trying my 3rd attemp now, as the 2 other attemps have failed on me, 1st one saying that it couldnt restart my pc during the install & it couldnt save the install. 2nd attemp it got past that part & got up to n finished the installing updates part then the PC re start it self & i got a message up saying that there was a unexpected error click ok to restart the pc which i did but i keep getting the same message.

As iv still got XP installed on my 80GB if this dont work i guess il give up on the idea of trying windows 7 & stick to xp
 
Just a suggestion unplug your XP drive and one of the other drives so you only have 1 HDD in perhaps 7 is getting confused between drives? (Or double check your HDD priority).
 
My XP drive is a 80GB hard drive which is not pluged in to the pc at the moment & i did check my HDD priority before i start trying to install windows 7

I guess i could unplug my 160GB which is just being used as storeage drive but not sure if that will make much of a differnce

Cheers

I'm not saying it would make a difference it's just the only possible idea I have...

1. Download the Windows 7 ISO.
2. Burn the Windows 7 ISO image to a DVD, and then copy and whole image to a storage location that you wish to run the upgrade from (can be either any directory/folder on any partition/drive on the machine running the pre-release build, or a bootable USB/FireWire flash drive).

Alternatively, it’s possible to directly extract the content of the ISO to a desired folder using file extraction tool such as WinRAR.
3. Browse to the sources directory.
4. Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor such as Notepad.
5. Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000.

cversion.ini
6. Save the file in original place and original name.
7. Start the setup process of Windows 7 as per normal from the modified copy of the installation files, and the version check will be bypassed.
