windows 7 key
hi there. I am wondering something. If i have the beta of windows 7 that they released some time ago, i undeerstand that within a year it will not work again. I know that it came with the ultimate version which i like a lot....what i want to know is if all i need to do is purchase a key for the ultimate version as i have the beta or would i need to purchase the whole software which gives a key as well?

Others will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the 7 Beta is just for test purposes and you'll have to purchase the final version which I think will be available some time in October.

If I remember correctly I read somewhere on the MS site that the beta and RC versions will not be updateable to the retail version, you will have to buy a retail version and do a reinstall.

I don't know why Microsoft is doing where you can't do an upgrade from Windows 7 RC to Windows 7 Final, but here's a geeky way in doing it. How to upgrade Windows RC to Final
However, I'm personally going to do a fresh install.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER install PRE-RELEASE software unless you are prepared to reformat and start over.
