Windows 7
Hi all
I have the Release Candidate installed on my desktop. AMD Phenom X2 550 Processor 3.10Ghz Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P, AMD 770 Sapphire HD 4350 1GB DDR2 PCI-Express Today I received the full Version of Windows 7 home premium. Do i need to install a clean version or can i just upgrade from the beta version ????

According to this you can upgrade (is it the upgrade you bought), but all your files will be put into a folder called Windows.old, which might not be desireable
http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/m...upgrade-rules/ The upgrade rules for Windows 7 are supposed to be very convoluted and getting a bit of bad press at the moment. What ever you do I would back up anything important, I know some "upgrades" actually wipe your harddrive (I think going from 32bit to 64bit does this

1 - Copy all your files to your computer in a folder called Windows 7. 2 - Open up the folder called Sources and open the file called cversion.ini  3 - It will look something like this: Quote:
 4 - Edit the contents to look like: Quote:
 5 - Save the file and start your Windows 7 installation.  6 - Select Upgrade during the install and follow the instructions. 7 - You may have to uninstall some software (e.g Anti-Virus or Firewall). NOTE: It’s always better to do a clean Windows 7 install to get better performance results. Last edited by cpu-dude; 22-10-2009 at 18:51. |
