So i have Build 7000


Recommended Posts

Get 7137, and if you leave the ISO alone you'll only be able to clean install. If you extract the ISO with something like winRAR, then locate the cversion.ini file in the sources and change the MinClient from 7077 to 7000.

7100 is the RC release from microsoft. Easiest way to go, some support offered by microsoft, and no legal issues.

1. Perform a Windows Easy Transfer on your 7000 build to extract all your files, settings, etc. to an external hard drive.

2. Perform a clean install of 7100 (or *sigh* 7127 if you must...)

3. Open Easy Transfer on your fresh install and pull everything back.

Best of both worlds. Clean install, AND you get to keep all your stuff.

PS: I tried upgrading my one 7000 build to 7100 by editing the cversion.ini as has been suggested here. Didn't go well. Wouldn't boot past the "Starting Windows" screen. Save yourself some time and perform the fresh install.

I basically did all these same things, also ! When I go to 7127 or 7137 I will be doing the Windows easy transfer to a spare External HD. That's the only way to go with NO Problems.

What I don't get is how to save cversion.imi... every time I tried it said I needed admin permission, which is nuts because I'm the only user and I have UAC completely off. Tried changing it to non read-only too and wouldn't work. How can I get around this?

UAC should never be off, even when you have a firewall and antivirus and whatever.

Have you dumped the ISO?
