confusion

OK...my question is fairly simple: I installed w7 build 7600, is that Build the final version? When I open Everest and look at the info on my OS it still says "Trial". Does this mean it will shut down at some point or is it indeed the final retail version. I was led to believe it was the final...

Hi people.... I was wondering if any of you would be kind enough to help me with a question I have. (Please bare in mind I know next to nothing about windows OR drivers!) Now, I have an Elonex Artsan lx HTPC and have recently upgraded from XP to W7. I had to do a clean install as the upgrade...

Before: I had Windows Vista 32 Bit Home Premium and everything was fine. Last weekend I stored all the content of my computer to an external Toshiba USB connected hard disk by using Easy Transfer as supplied with Vista. I checked my computer for its Win7 abilities by using the free win7 upgrade...

Not sure if Iam doing this right I purchased a new computer October 9, 2008 the software was windows vista home. When windows 7 is realeased the people who quailfy are people who purchased June/2009. Does this mean we have to purchase another operating system less than a year. Does anyone know...

I hate when people talk like they're 12! It drives me absolutely nuts. Besides, half of this crap either isn't true or doesn't make any freakin' sense at all... What's all this... "I think, I think" crap. Why don't you find out some facts instead of babbling like a child? You're probably...

Ok I'm totally confused right now, I looked at other threads and I find it hard to understand so I'll just ask and make another new thread cuz the Pre-order sale is almost over and I have to buy it before it becomes 199.. so Here it goes I have a Win7 64bit RC ATM and I'm willing to get the...

I currently have the RC installed, but prior to this installation I had the public beta installed. Before installing the RC I performed a complete wipe followed by a clean install. A couple weeks ago I started receiving expiration notifications. I am now being affected by the bi-hourly...

Ok, so we all know about Microsoft giving us alot of money off windows 7 if we pre-order....But, does the home premium come with 64bit? it says in the description it coems with 64 bit which confuses me lol sry for sounding lik a moron ¬_¬ Link Removed

Hey all, As I look through the boards I'm noticing alot (too many) of new threads that ultimately are all talking about the exact same things.. These things include: RTM release date, GA release date, RC Expiration, etc.. I just wanted to take a minute and try to sort some of these things...

Ok.. So I play F.E.A.R. from time to time online.. My issue is that although install is sweet, it starts up and runs fine for about 1-2 minutes. Until it randomly drops my frames to something like 11-12 fps and sticks there. Nothing fixes it. Build 7100. All latest drivers, updates, etc...

So i am downloading Windows 7 Build 7232 x64 from wzor. I noticed that it's 2.34 GB. Im confused as when i got build 7229 in 32-bit it was around the same size. I thought a 64 was bigger. Or is it this size since its a vhd file and not iso. I am going to use keznew's way to make it a iso.

HELLO GUYS, I'M FACING A BAD PROBLEM.. Pls hav a look at my picture.. The problem is that these thumbnails are supposed to be de thumbnails for videos.. But dese r actually jpeg pictures.. Dey r being displayed as movie file THUMBNAILS.. See de film strip on either sides of de picture...

Apologies if this is the wrong section on which to start this thread. Still new to this forum and just joined out of desperation. I decided to give a try at Windows 7. Looked up Microsoft W7 site, and downloaded the 64-bit version. I'm VERY sure that I downloaded the x64, as the filename...

Hey all, I just wanted to clarify a couple things for all those Windows 7 users who may be a little confused by all these leaks floating around.. ;) First of all, the Windows 7 RC is Build 7100 and is still available for download directly from Microsoft and will be at least through July...

What is the difference between the Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit for system builders OEM for $179.99 and Microsoft Windows vista Ultimate SP1 - Retail for $287.99. I looking to upgrade to vista and I'm confused as to which one I need. Can some one please explain this to me in...

Hi all I have a little point of confusion with SIW and Winver for X-64 build 7077. SIW reports expiry date as 6 June 2010 Winver reports expiration date as Mar 2nd 2010. Who'se telling the truth and who'se the "Big fibber". slmgr report as "Permanently activated" so that's no good as a 3rd...

Hi everyone Just for a test I did an Upgrade from Vista X-64 and then compared with a Clean W7 X-64.install and re-loaded all the applications I'm using on VISTA X-64. Partition size I'd defined in both cases was 53.71 GB . Vista X-64 Used 42 GB Windows 7 X-64 used 17 GB. Now I...

Just checking. Is 7 like some advanced SP pack added to Vista, or a whole replacement for Vista? I hope not a replacement already, since I am going to be making a tutorial for people at work in the next month or so. Let me know. Thanks.

Why we have so many versions? Vista has Enterprise, Business, Home Basic, Home Premium, and Ultimate. 5 versions x 32bit and 64bit. This just makes people get confused. Why cant Microsoft release one version, or on the worst case 2 (Enterprise and Home) and then add Media Center, Remote...

Internal emails at Microsoft released to public ... (By US Court Judge) From: Steven Sinofsky Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 12:05 PM To: Brad Goldberg Subject: vista ready Is it true that Vista Ready doesn't necessarily mean Aero capable? I got a Dell Lattitude that is Vista Ready but...
