Download complete. I used simultaneous connections (Flashget download manager default) which I thought might corrupt it but the MD5 checksums (checked with Md5Check v2.1) matched; 8867C13330F56A93944BCD46DCD73590 for x86.

Funny how thousands are still trying to pull the leaked version when they could get it straight from MS servers at faster speeds (for now) without uploading.

Anyone who has installed it.. did it give you the option to upgrade your previous install?

No but you can mod an ini file that allows you to do so. I myself can't justify why anyone would upgrade a beta OS and spend time fixing those issues rather than fresh installing. Vista to 7 RTM is understandable but still upgrade installs are usually slower than clean ones and they get into problems.

I'll probably install it sometime today, if I can figure out how to partition a HDD, otherwise I'll finish playing Scrapland on my XP partition and format it and install it there.

Servers went down again, and I had 37 minutes left to go. :(

I do because I want to keep everything I've got installed already installed :(

Copy this link to Internet Download Manager and download :D

Don't Panic! Keep trying it will come back up. I just finished mine and I started downloading 30 minutes before anyone else did.

Thanks to Bresnan for a really poor connect! thanks to microsoft, don't be mad we started early without you.

If you're upgrading from 7000 to 7100, take a look at THIS POST as it outlines the procedure, and all the bugs (or lack of them) experienced.

BTW thanks to neowin and the OP for an incredible Win7 experience... this was the icing on the cake :)

It is just a means of security from my point of view, you never know what can go wrong. I remember upgrading from XP SP2 to Vista beta 5219 only to have my DVD Burner give me Code 11's constantly in Device Manager no matter how many times I reboot, reinstall, uninstall, etc. A clean install fixed it. All else worked fine

Wow.. I'm burning this as slow as possible.. 4x speed and it's taking less than 10 minutes. o_O!

Wow.. thanks. I guess I'll do a fresh install. :)

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
