Upgrading Windows 7 from RC1 or Beta to RTM (Final)
I just got my hands on the most amazing deal for software I’ve ever had, which is a Windows 7 Ultimate for less than $10 through my university’s software program. Since I was already using Windows 7 RC1 for months and the license is set to expire spring 2010, I was more than happy. However, I realized that Windows 7 installer won’t let you upgrade to the final version so I would have to do a clean install. But I DON’T want to. Thankfully, I stumbled across this article on HowToGeek that has a simple 2 second fix to that whole problem.
Enjoy the best OS ever made!
