On Tuesday, May 5 (PST), the RC will be available to
everyone via our Customer Preview Program. As with the Beta, the Windows 7
RC Customer Preview Program is a broad public program that offers the RC
free to anyone who wants to download it. It will be available at least
through June 30, 2009, with no limits on the number of downloads or
product keys available.
So you don't need rush to make sure you get your copy. When you're ready
to download the RC, it'll be waiting for you.
To get the RC please use one of the following links:
IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 7 Beta you'll need to back up your
data (preferably on an external device) and then do a clean install of the
Windows 7 Release Candidate. After installing Windows 7, you will need to
reinstall applications and restore your files. If you need help with the
installation process, please see the Installation
Instructions.
If you're running Windows Vista, you can install Window 7 RC without having to
back up and reinstall your programs and data. But to be on the safe side,
please do backup your data before you start.
