Upgrading From Windows 7 RC To Final
The steps that were outlined for upgrading the Windows 7 beta release to release candidate were the following:
- Download the ISO as you did previously and burn the ISO to a DVD.
- Copy the whole image to a storage location you wish to run the upgrade from .
- 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 like you would normally from this modified copy of the image and the version check will be bypassed.
The rtm build of Windows 7 is distributed with the build number 7600. An upgrade from release candidate to rtm build would therefor require the modification of the MinClient build number from 7600 to 7100 or lower.
