Today, a friend is very anxious to call to ask why Windows 7 Ultimate installed on his computer pops up: This pre-release version of Windows 7 Ultimate will expire in seven days and require immediate backup of data. He pointed out that his Windows 7 Ultimate is registered successfully using the activation code he is looking for online. Now he is also confused and can't figure out whether his Windows 7 system is activated.
originally thought the problem we all should know, can easily search online found a lot of friends ask this question quite a bit, the reason Windows7 automatically prompt the user for this pre-release version is about to expire, due to Microsoft The policy is limited. Since the beta release, the Windows 7 operating system has been widely watched by users around the world because of its excellent performance. A large number of users are competing to install tests. Before the official release of Windows 7, there were new versions released or leaked. So there were several versions during the test. Some Windows 7 users even found that the system that was installed the previous day had been replaced by the new version in two days. However, as an ordinary netizen, few people take the installation system as a pleasure. The installation system is actually simple, but the backup and restore of important data during the installation process is very troublesome, and the test version is almost a small update, the change is not very obvious, so Most users choose to keep changing and always use this version of their own.
But with the escalating until Windows7 official version of the release, between the initial beta and there is still no small difference, then Microsoft for users to use the newer version, beta version before gradually expired And these betas are so-called pre-release versions. The Windows7 Beta version has expired on August 1, 2009. As early as June 17, 2009, users of Windows7 Beta will receive an expiration notification every day. As the expiration time approaches, the frequency with which users receive notifications is higher. Until then the system will restart the computer every two hours. After the Windows 7 prompt, the users of the Windows7 Beta version are basically upgraded to the updated version in time, the RC version after the Beta version.
number of users to install and use a lot of Windows7RC version, after all, to the RC version features the official version will not differ too much, but please note that this is still just a pre-release version. The friend who came to ask for help today is also using this version.
