The first version of Windows 7 that leaked to various P2P networks was the released handed out at the Professional Developer Conference. The latest leak of build 6956 of Windows 7 happened during the WinHEC 2008 conference in Beijing. The release made its way on various torrent websites from where it can be downloaded. It is not supplied in ISO format but as a Virtual Hard Disk image. To run that image you would need one of the following programs: Virtual Server 2005, Hyer-V HyperVisor or Windows 7 Disk Management.

Another possibility that is outlined would be the following:

  • extract HEC.rar, you can get a .VHD image.
  • Use WinMount3, extract .VHD image to a new ntfs disk.
  • Use VistaBootPro, add the disk to your boot menu.

Please note that those information have been directly taken from information supplied by people distributing those files. You already find blog articles that explain how to combine both leaked Windows 7 builds so that the newest build can be installed on every computer system.

    The ISO image has been created and is available for download.
  • Andy
    And the image available is x86 only.  No x64 available.
    Unable to upgrade from Vista using this image, but can upgrade from build 6801.  Fresh install is probably best.

    Image was made from slipstreaming 6801 and 6956 together (using whatever parts of 6801 were needed after extracting .vhd to .iso , presumably driver files etc)

    Beta is so close now might as well wait for it.
