Can I be the first (of many) to ask how one would turn a folder full of installation files into a bootable DVD? Many people are going to want to try a clean installation of this build.

Put it on an external USB device like a Memory Stick or an External HDD i do this for Vista and 7 you dont need a boot file either.

For those wondering how to make this leaked version bootable simply replace \Sources\install.wim on the ISO for build 7000 with the install.wim file from the leaked copy. Then use this modified iso to install windows.

Using WinPE with imagex could apply the wim image but then again if you know how to do that I guess you would have figured it our for yourself + if you don't have it the WAIK to create a WinPE cd is 1.3GB.

Let the torrent complete and you will have the contents of Win7 build 7048 x64 DVD.

It's not hard to make it a bootable ISO. Get your hands on a copy of WinISO, MajicISO, or UltraISO. Load the Windows 7 build 7000 or 7022 x64 ISO file, delete the files in the ISO and copy in the files from 7048 x64 (torrent download), save the new ISO with a different name. Now you have a bootable ISO of build 7048 x64!!

The ISO file you save should display as "Bootable UDF" which means it includes the boot image from the original 7000 or 7022 ISO. Burn to DVD and install. Keys from the public beta of 7000 should work.

Slowed to a crawl at 60.6%. Can't wait for this to finish. NIS 2009 didn't work at all in 7022. Confirmed to be working in 7048.

thanks for the tip. it was really frustrating getting BSoD (tcpip.sys) error while installing NIS 2009 in 7022.

That's the route I was going to go for to avoid unnecessary complications. Thanks for the advice everyone.

I was asking for everybody, not just myself. Let's face it, until an ISO of this build becomes available this question will be asked again and again!

do you want a cookie? stop complaining... i uploaded 75gb of 7022 version before i got it down, i currently already uploaded for 24gb of 7048 version and im on 48%... do you see me complain? people like you makes me sick :< be happy that it seems we finaly got some reliable leak source, i rather wait a day and get new build, then wait for months and get nothing at all...

u upped 75gb 7022 b4 u got it down? see thats not normal, thats pervert and not the sense of it. if i want to DOWNLOAD something, i mean downloading. okay, uploading a few mb's here and there i wouldnt mind (and b4 u start another battle, i hav flatrate, so no problem that way) but wheres the sense of uploading way more than downloading it and wayting hours, days and weeks before a download finishes?

dunno why every1 loves torrents so much. they always sucked, always will. rapidshare, megaupload, etc. these 1 click file hosters are so much better. u can DOWNLOAD from there, and they are fast and reliable.

But unless you pay a subscription fee you are capped, cant use download managers, can only download a set amount before you have to wait.

The whole point of torrents is sharing not just being greedy and downloading what you want without uploading anything in return.

LOL so true! I guess mclaren is just living in his own little piny tiny world!

I hope this build runs better with iTunes. 7022 is just terrible.

Apple needs to up their game with iTunes on Windows. Native UI, take advantage of Aero UI Acceleration, the Windows 7 Libraries, as well as Taskbar Previews, Jumplists etc.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Even QuickTime on Windows is becoming irrelevant.

You can just load the 7000/7022 build, delete the .wim file in that iso and replace it with the one you are currently downloading. Burn it and be happy.

Ah...good to know thanks. Can I use one of the Beta keys to activate 7048 or am I stuck with a 30-day trial?

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
