Anyone know for sure if you can do an upgrade from 7000 to 7048? And if so do you still need to make it into a bootable dvd (can you just run setup from within windows)?

Yes you can upgrade from build 7000 to build 7048, although not officially supported. I have confirmed that an upgrade works for some and not for others.

Ok, are you able to do it through windows or must you still create a bootable DVD? Guess it would be best to back up some data before I give it a shot...

Do they still stop installation to prompt you for your information? I think it would be friendlier if they did all that after installing Windows 7. I ask only because I hear that installation is better, I don't have Windows 7 yet and I never got to install Vista (that came preinstalled with my notebook).

I found it annoying on XP how I had to check back on my laptop every so often to see the installation was paused just for me to enter some bits of information.

It doesn't prompt for any info until install is complete.

As Chris said, they changed it to ask for any information AFTER the install is done with Vista. It's definitely a change I love. Nevermind the fact that Vista/7 install way faster than XP ever has.

I am making a bootable ISO DVD now. Here's what you need to do....

Things you need..

1) UltraISO V9 or higher

2) A bootable ISO image of Windows 7 7000 x64 or Windows 7 7022 x64 (some people say an x86 ISO will work)

3) The DVD files from the downloaded 7048 torrent

a) Start UltraISO and open the ISO from item 2 above. (notice it will show bootable UDF)

b) Select all the files and folders in the ISO and delete them.

c) In the bottom frame of UltraISO, open the folder containing the files and folders from item 3 above. Select all the files and right click, then click Add.

d) In UltraISO, click File, Save As.. and give the new ISO a name in some folder on your hard drive.

e) When it's done creating the ISO file, you are ready to burn to a blank DVD disc.

Of course there are many ways to do it, this is how I do it. :)

Or you could just get the ISO that's been released :)

Actually that could just be the awnser file unattend.xml that is included with the leak doing that, not got this release so can't check myself.

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.
    • Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.
    • Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.
    • Classic. China would be nothing without Western, Japanese, and South Korean technology.
    • The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
