How to install Windows 7?

[Sephi]

Windows 7 is more stable and is faster.

I'm on the RTM, and it's very stable. If your screen doesn't look very good, make sure you have the correct drivers installed; it'll be probably using standard VGA drivers or something.

What does RTM stand for? Also is it a beta or is the full version out?

Release To Manufacturer, it's the final product.

Are there any different policies for pirating os's compared to pirating games? ( Gets idea )

The Question isn't how, but why

It isn't pirating depending on what your source is. MS releases the RTM to Technet and other sites with serial keys. If I remember correctly it isn't pirating unless it comes with an activation crack (Or links to one) or you download one separately. It isn't pirating because it has a 30 day timer that is meant for IT personnel to test the OS before releasing it to the rest of their clients which would mean that it is shareware (And therefore legal). However once the 30 days is up you either have to buy a legit license or uninstall the software.

Also the 7600 builds (Close to RTM) Were very stable, however so far I haven't hit any bug with the RTM.

[*]Yes, and it will keep your files if you use the Upgrade version.[*]Upgrade version of Windows 7 will keep your files when Windows 7 is upgraded. Full version of Windows 7 is the same thing as the Upgrade version, but with one addition, is the clean install, which your files will completly deleted. Buy the Upgrade version becuase it's cheaper!

[*]Yes, it will still show your files on your desktop after Windows 7 is upgraded.[*]Most applications will work on Windows 7. I think it's the same as Windows Vista. So try testing your applications on your PC after Windows 7 is upgraded.@Charmandersrule: Don't request on where to download legal files! IT'S AGAINGST THE RULES!!

You can download the release candidate from microsoft.com. it's quite easy to find.

The RC is quite bad in my opinion, might as well go for an RTM copy.

Yeah I agree with my fellow co-operator, the RC sucks.

If you don't want to wait, for Windows 7's public release (October 2009), go download a Windows 7 RTM torrent. Go to http://www.thepiratebay.org and type Windows 7 RTM.

I used to RC for a long while and it was perfectly fine for me. Until the power went out randomly while computer was on and now I can't use the mouse or internet on it and I'm too lazy to fix. at least I still have xp installed.
