Weekend geek out upgrading windows 7 from beta to rc

1 June 2009

Its the weekend and I am about to carry out the equivalent of Geek yard work.

OK I have to declare at this point I love technology and what it can do. Therefore any opportunity to get hold of the latest version and try it out is taken. Consequently I have been working with Windows 7 at work for the last +3 months since the M3 build came on my work laptop (Lenovo Tablet X61) and upgraded all the home PC’s (HP media centers) to Windows 7 Beta based on the excellent experience of the laptop using Beta. I have never seen Project 2007 fire up as fast as I did on Windows 7, the predictive software use algorithm and caching really works well. Now I face the need to go to Release candidate as Beta will time out.

However I don’t want to do the recommended/supported clean build, instead I am going to use a work around that allows upgrade from Beta 1 Build 7000 to Release Candidate 7100. This is a personal choice and anyone doing the same does so on the same basis. Good luck fellow adventurers.
