Now if you are like me and have tested Windows 7 to the fullest and do not want to wipe one last time then this is for you. I have used Windows 7 for a Year now and enjoy it very much so but did not want to have to wipe my machine so here is a work around that can help elevate your Windows 7 migration blues
The upgrade is possible. You just have to do a bit of mucking around. To perform the upgrade, do the following:
- Copy the contents of the ISO or DVD to a separate storage location (such as a bootable USB storage device, a separate partition or whatever)
- Open the file \sources\cversion.ini in a text editor and modify the MinClient number to a number lower than the version Windows 7 that you want to upgrade from – so for the beta you would set this to something like 6900.
- Save the file and then run the install routine from the location with the modified file
Much appriciate for your good data. I have been looking for this for a long time in many places. Windows 7 is a admirable software ever. I suggest Win7Zilla to tweak Windows 7 efficiently
