Hopefully this will be the last time I have to start the download. Tried downloading the x64 version three times already at 160kb/s, failing halfway each time.

It only took one shot for me. If you are trying through the MS servers and it is failing, then try some of the mirrors mentioned earlier in this thread. Those should be more reliable. Also, switched to a wired connection if you have not already done so.

Hope you'll enjoy wiping all those when the Beta expires.

Keep in mind RC will probably come around April/May, yet alone RTM might be leaked by August if everything stays as smooth as it is now. With that said, most of us will not even have to worry about expiration to begin with.

I got to final restart only to be told upgrade was unsuccessful on a 9 month old acer aspire 6920 laptop!

Has anyone else experienced a failed install?

Should I try a clean install? TIA

The upgrade option is quite unreliable and sometimes does fail. I did not have the same problem as yours, but ended up getting an error message after the first restart. Just go ahead and do a clean install.

Clean install is the only recommendation to do.

I have successfully installed Windows 7 on this Acer Aspire 5100, which is older then that.

I can tell you how to remove crack successfully so you dont need to reinstall, if you installed Orbit30 then i can help because i told him how to do it ;)

The keys i got yesterday are unique and i have 2 which are not generated by MS's site, which is good for me ;)

Just trying to give you advise mate. Take it or leave it.

lol, I don't think you realise how many keys 2.5 million is. I remember one of the Vista public betas was 'only' released to 100,000 people and iirc everyone who wanted it was able get hold of it.

Yeah but I was afraid since it seemed like the demand was so huge that 2.5 million keys would be nothing. I figured there was plenty more than 2.5 million peeps who want to get their hands on Windows 7.. :p

Is it still build 7000 like the unofficial leak was, someone I asked claimed it was and I wanted to see if it is true because some members here were stating that the official beta would likely be a different build than the unofficial leak..

Can someone please post direct working links to Windows 7 beta???

If you look on the front page you can find this article.

https://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/01/10/p...dows-7-beta-key

Just read a bit into it and you will find the links for the x86/x64 versions.

My questions is: Are the keys are repeated for different users?

It's very strange

Yea, seems like originally there was everyone getting a unique key but it has changed now and there seems to only be like 5-10 keys which are different for 32/64 bit versions.

"I know many of you have had issues with the Windows 7 Beta site over the last 24 hours. As you may have noticed the download site has been up and running smoothly since this morning. That said, we apologize for the inconvenience that it caused some of you.

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.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, interest and willingness to beta test. It has been great to see the positive early reviews and feedback. As you know, this is a beta product. We are working hard to get Windows 7 ready and right. Your input is a critical part of that process. Thank you!"

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
