| 823671 | 2009-10-24 09:37:00 | I have a preview version of W7 Ultimate from the PCW disc and XP on separate partitions to which I have loaded apps (Office, Photoshop, Antivirus, etc) which work and My Documents on a separate partition from both which both systems seem to access OK. If I upgrade to the full W7 can I upgrade on the preview partition and delete XP on the other or is it trickier than that? | MikeAS (10901) | ||

| 823673 | 2009-10-24 10:02:00 | Damn it! Thought it probably would be. Can you give some detail or do I end up using the PCW magazine November instructions and ignore (or format the review partition) to install W7 (when the bugs are reduced)? | MikeAS (10901) | ||
| 823674 | 2009-10-24 11:02:00 | Nah basically pop the disc in, when it comes time to install Win7 hit "Custom" Do NOT delete / format the partitions, just select the one that the current Win7 upgrades on, and it'll install a clean copy of the final Win7. You can *not* upgrade from RC / Beta to the final release of Win7. |

| 823675 | 2009-10-25 05:39:00 | It is possible to upgrade from the RC to the RTM by modifying one of the files on the DVD Using ImgBurn, create an ISO of the Windows 7 DVD. Next, extract all files from the ISO using a program such as 7zip, FilZip or Winrar Once you’ve extracted the files, open the cversion.ini file in the sources folder with notepad/text editor and change the MinClient value to 7000. Save it, then launch setup.exe directly, and follow the upgrade procedures. Then finally you can use something such as Gparted to delete the XP partition. Blam |
