ResNet and Windows 7
Laptop Clinics in Term 2 (previous) :: ResNet at Langford (next)
Microsoft have released a beta (preview) version of Windows 7, the replacement for Windows Vista. We've already had a few queries from students wanting to use it on ResNet. For the moment, please do not install Windows 7 on your computer and connect it to ResNet. It won't work (the ResNet security checker won't pass it). This beta version is not intended to be a primary operating system for everyday use. Essential updates and security fixes aren't released or are released late for Windows 7.
We will of course be supporting Windows 7 when it is released but there is no release date for it as yet. For now if you have a real need to install Windows 7 there are other options, such as installing it on a virtual machine instead of as your main system.
