Upgrade pre-RC (70xx) to RC (71xx)

use the following trick to to upgrade successfully from pre-RC (build
70xx series) to RC (possibly 71xx series).

1.Download the Windows 7 ISO.
2.Burn the Windows 7 ISO image to a DVD, and then copy and whole image
to a storage location that you wish to run the upgrade from (can be
either any directory/folder on any partition/drive on the machine
running the pre-release build, or a bootable USB/FireWire flash
drive).
Alternatively, it’s possible to directly extract the content of the
ISO to a desired folder using file extraction tool such as WinRAR.

3.Browse to the sources directory.
4.Open the file cversion.ini in a text editor such as Notepad.
5.Modify the MinClient build number to a value lower than the
down-level build. For example, change 7100 to 7000.


6.Save the file in original place and original name.
7.Start the setup process of Windows 7 as per normal from the modified
copy of the installation files, and the version check will be
bypassed

Fix and Restore Windows 7 Boot Screen That Changes to Vista Style

Sometimes, the beautiful, elegant, high resolution animated and dynamic Windows 7 boot screen UI may be changed to or replaced with Windows Vista boot screen, normally when user adds a Windows 7 entry in boot menu or accidentally when user attempts to repair the startup menu items with Windows Vista DVD, specifically Startup Repair. Windows Vista boot screen is a boring black background with low resolution green running progress bar.The invalid and wrong boot screen for Windows 7 is due to missing locale entry in boot record, which failed to be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When locale is not found, Windows boot loader does not know which boot locale folder to look for the animated bootscreen. Thus, in order to fix the boot screen so that the boot screen can be reverted, restored or reseted back to original animated Windows 7 boot screen, just run one of the following commands in elevated command prompt with administrator rights:
bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US
or
bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US
Change the en-US to the language version of the installed Windows 7, such as ja-JP, de-DE, es-ES, pt-BR, zh-CN, zh-TW, fr-FR, fi-FI and etc.
Restart the computer after running the command to see the new boot UI (user interface) be used again. To check if the locale setting has been entered properly, just run the bceedit command in command prompt that runs as administrator.
