Hashes for the clean, untouched x64 iso:

https://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/04/24/w...eaks?cid=785080

build: 7100.0.090421-1700

7100.0.090421-1700_x64fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culxfrer_en_dvd.iso

size: 3,270,828,032 bytes

md5: 98341af35655137966e382c4feaa282d

sha1: fc867fe1ab2e0a9796f9e4d155b44ea6998f4874

Hashes can be easy calculated using the HashTab Explorer plugin. It works fine in any build, including 7100 :cool:

It even gives you a convenient option to compare hashes.

it's only a few days away, might as well just wait to get it from the real source...

Exactly. Why bother with unofficial when official public release is days away? I won't be wasting my time.

How can we check our MD5 hash keys?

This thread has me worried now and im sure there might be a few more people who are going to ask how to check as well...

Another good program that I like is hash tab.

Yup my x64 iso checks out according to those hashes. :) Thanks Lord Ba'al

Odd.... 7100 must not be the RC according to this logic since I upgraded from 7000 to 7100 just fine and all my hashes match the that of the ones for the original iso.

I believe that the "original" ISO actually had an edited file changing the minimum upgradable version

Stuff like this tarnishes torrents' reputation of efficiently distributing large disc images. Obvious solution is to get the torrent header file from a trusted source (for instance, Canonical's servers if you were to get a copy of Ubuntu), but that won't hold with large corporations like MS.

I did run across this same problem in an earlier leaked build. Lesson learned: check to make sure setup.exe has a digital signature intact before burning or copying to a USB drive.

Torrents are a good source, the problem is the idiots that use the hype as a means of transmitting Viruses. Just goes to show that you need to be really careful with anything you download from illegal sources. However I would agree that with leaked builds there is always the danger they can be tampered with, odd that the X86 edition hasn't been targeted

Is the 7100 the real RC? If so, better wait for the offical one. Some people can't wait, besides it's only a few hundreds of MB worth of difference from what build your could be still using. I'm still on 7057.

What the specs requirements for a 64bit? I've been downloading 32bit versions, afraid that my much too customized Firefox and Thunderbird might not work under 64bit.

Crap - I have definatley learnt my lesson with this one - I downloaded that hash plugin and my version had different things for the x64 version :(

MD5 Hash was 1C2AE249E6754E33D0FDD6CA07127D7B

SHA1 Hash was 2B3A10785F77E7E6D46B7134E8EE807E9F7337E7

and CRC32 was D84794E3

:( I feel cheated now!

Booting from ISO after a cold restart - that should mean the setup.exe was skipped correct?

If your problem is bookmarks etc just get XMarks (ex-Foxmarks). Works wonders, makes transitions and re-formatting easy.

On a different note, do you guys think its possible for the official 5th May RC to have newer internal drivers/hardware support? Or it'll definitely be 100% identical to current leaked one?

I would hope that come May 5th, the RC released would be a newer build then this one, considering alot of people are complaining about blue screens and minor bugs like the exe one in explorer. If those two were fixed id say 7 is a go for RTM :)

Nah I don't use bookmarks very much. I can live without some bookmarks I have now. I have a html file with all the links on it of all sites I visit.

Honestly, I don't think its hard for to find a legit release as long as you don't go a click the first download you see. Always research the comments before you download. But of course, checking the MD5 is the most definite way to be sure before installing.

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
