Windows 7 Build 7032/Build 7048 64bit leaked?

[Digital Meld]

Really going out on a limb here today, aren't you Digital Meld? Already posted at least 5 articles on 7048 over the past few hours.

We give the people what they want. It's a hot topic right now.

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...

There was a huge surge in seeders, just completed my download! Gonna seed for a couple of hours, then it's testing time! :)

Just installed. Works great. NAV 2009 worked just fine, unlike 7022 x64. New wallpapers added as well ;)

Can you resize the breadcrumb/search bars in this build? It's rumored that you can't... :(

You can. It's like the older builds. Same function just without the splitter.

[Mannlich]

Resize of the search bars works just fine.

[dcoaster]

Thanks for the clarification. :)

What do those with the build think of the new Start Menu "glow"?

[Jorkand]

Damn that was a fast install. From copying to usb key, rebooting, starting install, finishing install, reinstalling all software took about 1 hour!

that seems slow to me...only took me about 30 mins

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.

How is stability and speed?

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. :)

you could simply just drag and drop the files into nero and name the disk 7048_x64_Ultimate_EN_DVD.. worked fine for me.

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

[wguimb]

Yep, your both right. :)

Thanks for the reply, Chris and xiphi. I guess the installation is much faster now which has everyone saying installation is better :)

I'm glad they got that info request during installation annoyance sorted out in Vista.

[heslo]

Works great here too, just got around to installing and putting all my programs on again. Seems a bit better than 7000 and 7022. :)

[scratch42069]

I just finished making the ISO and burning it. Now it's time to install :)

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.

Looks like you can remove IE8 now.

No. That's just how it's done since Vista.
