The Windows 7 RC expires on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, PCs running Windows 7 RC began shutting down every two hours.
If you're still running the RC, your PC will continue shutting down every two hours and your files won't be saved during shutdown. In addition, your wallpaper will change to a solid black background with a persistent message on your desktop. You'll also get periodic notifications that Windows isn't genuine. That means your PC may no longer be able to obtain optional updates or downloads requiring genuine Windows validation.
To avoid interruption, please reinstall a prior version of Windows or move to Windows 7. In either case, you'll need to do a custom (clean) install to replace the RC. As with any clean installation, you'll need to back up your data then reinstall your applications and restore the data.
Are you planning to downgrade From Windows 7? Talks about downgrading From Windows 7 has already begin even though the current version of Windows 7 is still not the final version. Earlier, (Back in April) Microsoft first disclosed that Windows 7 customers would have downgrade rights to XP instead of just to Windows Vista... Downgrade From Windows 7 Will Be Available Till April 2011
The Best Idea is to upgrade (Update) to a fully activated Windows 7. Never worry, you wont loose any data for upgrading. Just install Windows 7 On the same drive where you have windows 7 RC, and your data will be automatically be moved to a new location "C:\Windows.Old" assuming "C" is the root drive where you installed Windows 7. Note that, you need to reinstall all softwares that you require. For example, Office, Photoshop.. Chrome .. etc ... etc..
Its not a good idea still trying to use the same old RC version of Windows 7. Come alive with the live and the updated windows 7 Full Version. This will take some time, its really worth doing. You will have a fully activated windows till you try the beta version of next operating system from Microsoft. Cool!
