Windows 7 Expiration Date Reminder

IMPORTANT REMINDER ABOUT BETA EXPIRATION DATE

Thanks again for your help in testing the Windows 7 Beta.

We’re sending this mail to remind you that Windows 7 Release candidate is
available and to make sure you plan ahead for when the Beta expires on August
1, 2009. On June 1, 2009, the PC you’re using to test the Beta will begin
shutting down every two hours. Windows will send you a notice a couple of
weeks in advance, and that’d be the ideal time to rebuild your test PC with
a non-expired version of Windows, such as the RC or Windows Vista. This will
be a clean installation, so be ready to reinstall your programs and data.
(Learn more about installing Windows.)

So, if you haven’t already done so, we highly recommend that you download
and install the RC from one of the following sites today:
-

Developers
-

IT Pros/Microsoft Partners
-

Tech Enthusiasts/Consumers

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 have questions or need help installing the RC, you can get help with
your Windows 7 questions at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro/

There’s another expiration date you need to keep in mind: Windows 7 RC will
expire on June 1, 2010, and you’ll need to either upgrade to the final
release of Windows 7 or a prior version of Windows before then. (We‘ll send
you another reminder as this date approaches.)

Thanks again for your interest in Windows 7 and for your help in finishing
this product!
