Yeah, I currently have Windows 7 Build 7600, so is there any difference between this one and the final released version of Windows 7. I know this one expires early next year, but other than that is there a difference?

My Build 7100 expire, where do I check on my computer to see?

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...

Dear Windows 7-Users, i've installed Windows 7 RC a few weeks ago. As i read, it should run until July,2010 Now, my taskbar on the right bottom says: "You've to activate your Windows. It will expire in 5 days" (or something like this, it displays in german). My Windows 7 IS activated...

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...

. On August 1, 2009 if you are still on the Windows 7 beta, your license will expire and the non-genuine experience will be triggered. Your wallpaper will be removed and "This copy of Windows is not genuine" will be displayed in the lower right corner above the taskbar. :eek: Bi-hourly...

I have an account with IEEE and I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate RC and installed it on a laptop. Is there a time when Windows 7 will expire and I have to reformat to a previous Version? I did not think so but right on top of the clock it said evaluation copy (build 7100) Thank you for your...

Win 7 Beta stops at end of June! Please note. Most of you have received this Email. PLease do not start posting this as a problem after July 1st. The RC is freely available for download by all. IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT BETA EXPIRATION DATE Thanks again for your help in testing Windows 7...

Hi, It's my understanding that starting March 11th, those who are running W7 RC1 will experience an auto shutdown every 2 hours. Then, in June, the RC1 will lock you out of your system. Even if you buy the retail copy of W7 before June, there is no way to do an in place upgrade, rather, you...

how long will w7 rc work. the other thing will you be able to buy w7 before the rc expires

This is from Microsoft " Shutdown Schedule for Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 RC To avoid interruption, it’s recommended that you and your customers rebuild test machines by using a valid Windows operating system before Windows 7 Beta and Windows 7 RC expire. Windows will automatically...

when does build 7057 expire? on my disc it says august 1 2009. i thought i read in the forum that some build doesnt expire until 2010. im running the 7000 build is there any advantage of upgrading to 7057 ? also what is the name of the most recent build?:cool:

Hi everyone. It seems that we CAN use W7 until a retail version is released. Unless it was an almighty bo bo by Microsoft the 7057 build (best so far even in its X-32 incantation) doesn't expire until Mar 2010. If the official RC1 expires before that I'm sure there will be some...

And if it does what happens when it does and when will it expire? :eek:

When Windows 7 Beta expires in August, will there be a way to return to Vista? I noticed when installing the beta a folder called "Windows.old" was created. I assume this contains all the needed Vista system files. If you can't go back, what's the point of this folder?
