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. :(

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. :)

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
