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.

    • 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
