Build 7959

edited May 2011 in Software
Was checking it out....
During Install it says Windows 7....
Then inside Windows it says Windows Server 2008 R2...

Whats up with this? Has a server feel to it... Please fill me in on this Windows 8 64bit.

  • DL'd 3 times... everytime it failed HASH. 2,170 bits short.
  • The windows 8 install.wim file is simply placed onto a windows 7 install dvd in order to get it installed. Then after that it boots from the HD on its own.

    I think if you read the EULA however it says Windows 8, which should only be a minor trick anyways.

    A good way to check what version you are really in is to open a command prompt, it'll tell you the version number right there. Install DVD will be 7600 and then once you boot off the HD you'll be at 6.2.7959.

    7959 is a 64-bit Server version leak and R2 was just the previous server version.
