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.

    • Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.
