Windows 7 Beta Public Release Gets Delayed Due to Heavy Traffic

Cptnyr · Jan 10, 2009

i finished the download how do i install it now?

Kursah · Jan 10, 2009

Burn the ISO to a DVD.

More info here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-installation-instructions.aspx

ok i did a clean install 7 is now my only os. My motherboard cd wouldnt run but it doesnt seem to really matter.

I love 7 so far

Kursah · Jan 10, 2009

I did the same, my main and only OS at this moment is 7 Beta 7000 x64. So far so good, there are a few things that'll get annoying like if you turn UAC off you lose gadgets, I'm sure that'll get patched tho. And if you play any games online that use PunkBuster be ready for a possible suprise and a new error. Nothing can be done till PB is patched to properly ID 7 and allow it.

Enjoy! And report any findings you have, we all need to do this. I'm planning on sending a bunch of feedback MS's way, they're nice enough to give me beta 1 w/key for free, I'll send them some feedback, 7 is impressive enough I want it to stay that way!

Windows 7 has been promoted to my new main os

Stonesour767 · Jan 10, 2009

if i install the new windows 7 beta over my current windows will i be able to revert back to my current windows after the beta? and also will i have to reinstall every or anything once i install 7 onto my C:, becuase oddly enoguh it doesnt like my G: drive.

I can;t get it from the M$ servers but getting it from mediafire. Don;t suppose anyone could get me a 64-bit key for when i install? PM me, thx.

[Edit] got a key - one of the links on this tread finally worked - thx guys.

If you upgrade Vista to 7 it will overwrite critical system files, so no you won't just be able to revert back. I think at that point if you wanted to go back to Vista you'd have to do a fresh install. I'd say back up your profile and documents, saved games, etc and do a fresh install of 7. I have yet to do an upgrade from one os to the other, at least that I can recall atm.

Stonesour767 · Jan 10, 2009

well ive just ordered a 500Gb that should be coming next wednesday. to be honest ill wait till then

meaintsmart · Jan 11, 2009

Finally downloading after half an hour of trying to download it. It turns out that you have to use IE to download it. -_-

p_o_s_pc · Jan 11, 2009

downloading right now

Ha, I'm downloading it now but wish I had checked this thread again before I tried to. I was using Google Chrome (only use IE7 when loading iRacing) but it would never go past the loading animation just before the actual download.

Finally came to me that perhaps Microsoft want you to use THEIR tools to get THEIR os haha.

I was planning on going to Vista64 later this week but I guess I don't have to do that now since I can try out Windows7 (which I was already 90% sure I'd buy since I love Vista already) and get 64Bit for free for a few months until it's time to buy.

I wonder though and I highly doubt this, but does Windows7 32Bit still have the same ram limitation that all other 32Bit OS from Microsoft have? Is that an actual 32Bit issue or the way the OS addresses that?

If not then I'm going to buy another harddrive and make my total 3 with the new one having only Windows7 and programs on it. Right now I've got Vista 32Bit on a seperate drive with only programs and OS and a second drive with everything else on it. If I have to I'll buy another drive on Monday from newegg along with at least 4 more Gigs of ram

Thanks,

Kei

It's the hardware

All 32-bit Windows versions will have this issue, because it's due to the way PC hardware is designed. 64-bit is the only way to break this limit without RAM paging.

Thanks quibit, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure.

I keep getting an install error file corruption...anyone else getting the file ok ?

Binge · Jan 11, 2009

600kb/s downloads. Microsoft is doing a good job. People still having errors? Have you used IE?

p_o_s_pc · Jan 11, 2009

is there anyway to install this without burning it to a DVD? I don't have any more dvds and don't have the money to spend on any right now

DRDNA · Jan 11, 2009

thanks i just downloaded 64 and 32 ..I will be installing on my Pent III laptop very soon. :toast:

w2k = best OS ever.
Sorry, just had to say that.

But i guess alot of people will enjoy windows 7, but one question, what happens to Vista?
Or am i missing something here?

agree and best os win xp

cr41gey · Jan 11, 2009

just like to say that vista should've never been, windows7 was the next target after xp, but as we all know microsoft and planning dont go well together!

yep,gonna try the other computer for downloading and recording this.

Nick89 · Jan 11, 2009

I've had a 640GB drive lying around for over a month, now its finally going to get some use.

UPDATE!

Windows Blog

Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.

p_o_s_pc · Jan 11, 2009

so far i am liking windows 7 had a hard time with getting the driver to my Wireless adapter installed but it is working fine now. seems to be alittle slower then XP but better then Vista

Nick89 · Jan 11, 2009

Typing this from Windows 7 :cool:

I have a Sound blaster Fatal1ty Xtreme gamer sound card and I am wondering if the windows vista 64 bit drivers will work with Windows 7 64 bit?
