However, there is a workaround. Make sure you backup all files before you do it: Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from a bootable flash drive or a directory on any partition on the machine running the pre-release build Browse to the sources directory Open the file cversion.
For example, change to Save the file in place with the same name Run setup like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed What I will personally do is, I will use Windows 7 Easy Transfer Click Start , click All Programs , click Accessories , click System Tools , and then click Windows Easy Transfer. After I got my backup on an external drive oh well got to make room for it!
Any suggestions? Some users on another forum were experiencing the same symptom with a clean install Bad memory for one person, overheating processor for a second, a virus scanner for a third person was gumming up the works.
What I can tell you is that I had no troubles on my end. The PC happily browsed on firefox, etc. I wish I could be more help, but there are simply too many variables to consider to give you a concrete answer. Can i still do the upgrade. IF not what do i do? And if some one could provide them or a link or even a crack would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time. Thanks for the great post and help again:. Hi to all.
Thank you so much for your reply. The key comes with the product, and it'll be available on October Doesn't really help me as a TN subscriber but will be a great solution for all those pre-order upgraders. Hi i'v followed your instructions perfectly and have attemted 3 times but i still have build but in my cversion.
I've just spent many hours loading up a 64 bit Win 7 trial with all my office software to confirm compatibility before deploying to a production environment. Very impressive, positive result. All the software works magnificently, some of which is very poorly coded and crash prone. All my printers, scanners, etc perform using Vista 64 drivers. I set up the trial build knowing that it would be good only for a short time, so have used trial versions of all the applications.
The RC for everybody is build This will work if you're on build and want to go to retail. Thanks for all the help so far:. Am TN subscriber also and dont really want to do a clean install machine that is just used for testing. In fact, you don't even need to dump the disc contents. Just pop the disc in the optical drive and go to town on your hard drive.
Thanks ALL: If any one has any ideas pls post, there is still a twinkle of hope Are you trying to do this with a non-retail version of Windows 7?
If so, yes, you're stuck with it. Piracy doesn't swing it around here. Nimble I love you Mr. What an ease, and peace of mind not having to restore all those programs. I think i might be the biggest idiot in the world. At the start of the tutorial it says insert you windows 7 dvd, is this meant to be the rc or rtm dvd?
I've got a couple of Win 7 upgrade disks coming from Sony and from Lenovo. Any idea if these are these going to be retail disks with an OEM logo on them or will they have some code that prevents me from using them on another machine?
I'm assuming that I can use the above process to upgrade RC using my flash drive? Furthermore, if you didn't like Vista then you should have found a manufacturer that offers XP or no OS and bought from them instead.
By submitting your email, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Windows 7 checks whether or not the current version you are running is a pre-release copy, and prevents you from upgrading further. All you need to do is change the MinClient value to something less than the current build you are using. For the RC release, you can change it to Now you can simply launch the setup.
Note: You could always smooth the upgrade process by removing any apps that have compatibility problems, before you do the upgrade. Just head over to the Windows 7 category page:.
