The upgrade worked for me fron 9431 x64 to 9471 x64 I did have to re-enter the key though. I used a TechNet key. Note: installed on real hardware & upgrade run from desktop of 9431 x64
Does the upgrade keeps programs like Internet download manager ? 'coz I still got gigs of unfinished downloads in it's list, and I don't feel like downloading them from scracths
I would recommend you just finish your downloads. Maybe by the time that is done the RTM will be out lol. This is just a leak anyway, Use VMWARE or VirtualBox
None of mine were kept (no choice on the upgrade install screens), they probably were kept in the "windows.old" folder. lol installing them from there.
It has been discussed before(somewhere in this thread or another), If you wish to upgrade from 9431 to 9471, open sources\cversion.ini by notepad, presently it is: [HostBuild] MinClient=9458.0 MinServer=9458.0 Change 9458 to anything smaller than 9431 and save, people's report was it kept everything.
Anyone have a weird problem with their external hdds constantly sleeping in 8.1? I never had this problem in Windows 8. I have to use that Nosleepdhd tool but I would prefer not to.
I think they could go down on build no. with the compilation machine, but they didn't have the luxury to risk another QFE-f**k-up, so they did the safe thing: go up to 9200.
