Does not work but i found setting my clock back 1 or 2 weeks works 100%

only need to keep going until the RTm is released on the 13th.

To upgrade from beta you need to:

- Extract the .iso contents to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from (a bootable flash drive
or a directory on any partition on the machine running the old build).
- Browse to the sources directory.
- Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor like Notepad.
- Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000.
- Save the file in place with the same name.
- Run setup.exe like you would normally and the version check will be bypassed.

If you're not upgrading:
Burn and mount, boot from it.

Worked fine for me yesterday. Some small issues like printer/fax not working, by reconfiguring the fax account and plugging the printer usb out/in solved the issues. Also some Asus driver stopped working but no further problems.

damn - 5 hours to go. looks like I'm gonna have to re-install again =(

What's going to happen If I don't - will Windows refuse to boot up?


i'm scared

Just do the instructions Tera gave. If you need a RC copy then say so. There are many prepared to help, even me.
