This is from microsoft s website quot;The Windows 7 Beta is a pre-release version of Windows. While we consider this a stable and high-quality beta, it’s not the finished product. It could crash your computer or cause you to lose important files or information. The Beta will stop working on August 1, 2009. To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. You won’t be able to upgrade from the Beta to the final retail version of Windows 7. Important Note to Internet Explorer 8 Beta testers: If you re already testing Internet Explorer 8, please be aware that the version in the Windows 7 Beta is at a different stage of release. If you’re beta-testing Windows 7, you need to use the version of Internet Explorer 8 that comes with it. quot;
I m not sure if it will allow you to revert back to Vista, but with a beta, I would be very cautious. Make a backup image of your entire hard drive before installing Windows 7. Optionally, if you have enough space on your hard drive, you could partition it using Vista s partition manager and then install Windows 7 on a separate partition from Vista (dual boot), thus keeping Vista installed and untouched. Then you can choose to go back and forth between the two. A virtual machine is an option, but I had actually tried that first and it wasn t very fast, so I decided to dual boot on the laptop. Since you don t have a recovery disk for your computer, I recommend making a backup whether you decide to install Windows 7 or not.
Well since you are asking that I m guessing your not a developer which means you plan to illegally obtain a copy so just get the 7000 Build Beta Patch from somewhere like www.thepiratebay.org and keep Windows 7. Vista sucks anyways and I ve been using Windows 7 for almost 3 weeks now and have only had one problem with media player 12 (the mp3 cutter) and that was before they released the first windows 7 update last week. Now everything works like a charm. And as a bonus tip use about 4 times the amount of your P.C. s RAM in usb jumpdrives dedicated to ReadyBoost and That somb**ch ll fly like me on 3 bluntz.
When the beta expires, it quits working. You have to format the drive and reinstall a new OS from scratch. With any beta software, it should be installed on a PC that you don t have any important data on and that you don t care about. they re notorious for glitches that do things like wipe out your hard drive when you enter the wrong command.
basically what people are saying is dont set this as your active OS. make a partition and play around with windows seven till it comes out then overwrite your vista with seven (it will keep your files) but one thing you will be happy to know is that anyone with windows vista gets a free upgrade to windows seven =)
Dual boot your PC. Install it on the other partition. This also helps if something goes wrong with windows 7. You can revert back to the old system. Its deads easy. You don t need to be a computer genius to do it: go to this website: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista... JUST CHANGE THE XP FOR WINDOWS 7 I have done this with Windows 7
Install it on your Virtual PC or a testing PC. Do not use your main computer. It is beta and it can have many hidden bugs You do not have much help out there right now. Like you said it is going to expire.
http://www.utorrent.com/download.php if you dont have it to download this on pirate bay to register win 7 http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4635976/... fully activated
When the licence expires, the computer will lock you out. Install the beta in a VM like Virtualbox if you want to be safe.
If you download the crack than the beta doesn t expire. It will revert it back to 30 days and when it gets low in days just crack it again.
It expires, you need to do a format.
You will get a note about expire and the OS will quit working
