When will my regularly downloaded copy of win 7 beta ultimate finish to work ? Thanks.

The beta of Windows 7 is due to expire on August 1st 2009.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-faq.aspx_______________________________________________________ Please Propose as Answer if appropriate

Does it mean that the PC will not boot anymore ?

It will boot but you will no longer be able to use the OS. Please Propose as Answer if appropriate

Expiry date for the current beta build (build 7000) is August 1 2009, however, a new public build (Release Candidate) should be available by the End of May (this may change) so you should eb able to download the RC build. You will need to do a 'clean install' of the RC build rather than an upgrade over build 7000. I have read on the Engineering Windows 7 blog that beta testers will be asked to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 although they are expecting some 'oddities' with the upgrade.John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;
