W7 rc

[bor10]

i'm wondering before i go through the whole installation process if i can still install w7 rc? i have a copy i downloaded during the summer and have a key that i didn't use. will it still activate?

thanks in advance for any reply.

Yes, it will still install and activate just fine. Next March it will start shutting down periodically as a preclude to expiring all together.

it should still activate, I believe up until the shutoff date of June 1, 2010.

thanks guys! i knew about the end date, but i'll buy it by then i'm sure. just didn't want to wait until the end of the month to install it on a second pc. i have it on my laptop now and thoroughly enjoying it.
