Nope you won't. You'll need to do a full format.

Ok thanks... Is there any possible way in which i can install the windows 7 rtm now and not have to do a full restore when it is officially realsed ?

I would say you just go into CP and change the key when you get a genuine key you shouldn't need to install a retail version RTM is normally the final code + updates. It depends if you have a genuine key for RTM.

Its all guess work as its new but It worked for Xp

I was thinking of just re-arming it for 120 days until i get my orginal key ?

That should work, I'm not 100% though

There's many activation tools for the 7600rtm in the usual places... i dont know why people didnt just stick with the rc and wait for the retail..

Is there any difference in using the RC or RTM?

I'm hoping it will work. I have a small issue with COD4 atm so I want to do a fresh install. Hoping I can install the Pro version now and use it till I get my key in October.

Well it depends which version of W7 you have installed and what key you have bought.

Assuming you have bought W7 Home Premium and that is what you have installed you can simply enter your key and robert's your fathers brother.
