HOWEVER:
"Do not click download if you are updating just one computer: A smaller, more appropriate download is now available on Windows Update. The best way to ensure you get Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is by turning on the Automatic Updates feature. You can use our step-by-step instructions or, if you prefer, let us do it for you. If Windows Update is not offering you the option to install the service pack, see KB 2498452. If you are encountering a problem when installing the service pack from Windows update, see Troubleshoot problems installing a service pack for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2."

Thanks which of those should be downloaded for x64 7?

I could see the x64 exe file but it's huge at 900MB+

I intend to burn them onto DVD

Thanks for the heads up, I guess it's time to save up some dosh for an OEM pro version 64bit.:yeah:
Then the lovely job of setting up and installing all the drivers, internet, apps etc etc!:doh::damn:

You don't need to d/l the whole thing, read what i wrote in my O.P.

Edit: unless you want to back up to disc then you're stuck with 900+MB.

Update for 64-bit, clear!

When using the update function, the download is only between 90-150 Mb.

If the update is slow, the leaked files from last month are identical to the ones now published...


Here are the sizes and hashes, to make sure you get a legitimate version:

Thanks already installed the SP1 through windows update now I need to download the full package to make a disc backup

My internet connection won't allow for files that big, I will have to wait for a torrent link whereby if the link breaks it will simply reconnect and carry on, I wonder if it will become available on disk, or maybe the later Win 7 disks will come with it.:hmmm:

Thanks might dl later.

Secure Disk, or torrent, I believe, what is your speed, it is a modem? :ping:

grade 7, my whole school had 1mb internet connection
"Patch day" meant no internet the whole day

1mb,it sucks!

That's exactly my connection for about 25 bucks :D. Well I have free upgrade for 3 months to 2Mb when I subscribed cable at a ridiculously funny promotional charge of US$3.50 a month for a whole year. US$3.5 month that's so cheap even here lol. Of course I don't get HBO but that's not my intention anyway. News is my kind of fun.

Feedback regarding experiences? The German web is full of reports just calling out problems, problems, and more problems. Broken installations, interrupted downloads, games no longer working if DirX 9, error messages stopping installations. Spend the past hour to read, and it reads like a horror story?! Win7 64Bit is said to be more often effected !? Two German magazine sites I had where they recommend not to install the SP1 !?

Link to the sites?
It's ok if in German, i am fluent.
I have the SP1 and absolutely no problems whatsoever.
With games or otherwise. :salute:
