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.

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
