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.

Just got my key =))))))

I haz had installed crack before So I gotta reinstall

Lol nvm win 7 is still awesome!!!

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 ;)

I'm not giving a link or telling you how to use it, I'm telling people how to put token.dat and pkeyconfig-xrm file back to its orignal state so they can use there key and it will accept it.

Don't you want things to be legit? Come on man i'm trying to help people remove something bad.

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..

Again

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!"

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
