Windows 7 build 7068 Screenshot (Yes, it's real)


Recommended Posts

Put it in while you are already booted in 7057 of course.

But, upgrading is never really wise to do with Beta's... Better to just back up your files on a DVD or something and then do a clean installation.

yeah I know, but a all the files need to be moved again, all the software installed again, drivers, and I'm sooooo lazy :pp

en ja, de belgen zijn er :DD

I now keep a folder on a separate drive with all reinstall programs and have all data and documents put on that drive. Had to considering how many leaks keep coming out! Always best to do a clean install, never an upgrade.

that's not always true, upgrading from 7000 to 7068 shouldn't be a problem and shouldn't make any difference from a clean install, if it farks things up then they wouldn't have it as an option.

As long as you have a clear understanding that there is a possibility that your copy of Windows 7 can end up going haywire from upgrading and know that any bugs which may be caused is most likely a byproduct from the process of upgrading and not MS' fault, there really isn't much of a problem.

I upgraded from 7057 -> 7068 just for the sake of it, and nothing has gone wrong for me.

This is a beta product, hence the update option. They have to test this as well! The simple fact is that it is NOT recommended. The fact that some people do it and have no problems just means that they are one of the lucky few. Most people who upgrade experience substantially more problems and bugs. Just view the posts on this forum!

Maybe 7068 will be more stable in this regard, has anyone posted any times that it takes to do an upgrade with this build? Is it faster than previous? Upgrading has traditionally been a lot slower with the other builds as well. It is a lot faster to do a clean install and re-install everything you need!

The upgrading does take significantly longer then clean installing. For me, the upgrade took roughly 3 hours to complete.

That's kind of my point as well, I can do a clean install and have everything back on my comp in under an hour. However, as I said before, the upgrade option needs to be tested as well, so it's good that some do it!

this looks interesting Windows 7 RC download page goes up early, coming in May (Updated). i went though it and got me a new x64bit CDKEY. Then i found this Things to Know About This Beta Release of Windows 7. At the moment im downloading the new build 7068, ill post my thoughts about it with in 12hrs, the last build 7057 didnt go too well for me and 7048 was good but there where a few things that work not too well, like the start/programs menu not workin everytime!

I think the more relavant question is why you feel it as being necessary to warn people for posting screenshots of their torrent client. Unless they happen to have the tracker URL showing in the screenshot, I wouldn't really constrew that as providing information on where to get the download.

Just being friendly. Wouldn't want any new members to not know the rules and get in trouble. :)

Anyone else get this message in action center in 7068? So there's a problem here, or the action center updated for the future antivirus programs?

(and when I installed this build, it tell me that I have only 3 days for activation)

Oh and the games explorer got new icon

My Security centre says my anti-virus is ok, using Avira v9.

Yes the upgrade feature should be tested, for Vista, not from beta to beta. The upgrade button also appears for hard drives which are completely plain, so it could be a bug with the installer.

The AV notify is probably to keep people from using old AV versions they had with their old PC a while ago. I know many people who were disappointed that their beloved Norton AV 2005 didn't longer work properly in Vista...

avira 9 has was in beta for a long time, only just recently being released, and they started supporting windows 7 from the beginning. the retail versions of nod and KIS haven't so it should be no surprise

Upgrading the install, I am NOT losing all my apps and stuff for a fresh install.

up to 3 hours to upgrade. Or 30 to 45 minutes to do a fresh install and another 10 to 15 minutes to install my apps, Java, flash, shockwave and DivX. I think I'll do the fresh install.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
