Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Downloads

Posted on 15 July 2010

Yesterday Robert broke the news that the official beta of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 has been released by Microsoft. His article contained the relevant information about the upcoming service pack, and the information that it was available for download for Technet subscribers only.
That last sentence was not entirely correct, as Windows 7 SP1 is offered to non-Technet subscribers as well, providing that they are working in IT or as developers.
The Technet Evaluation Center page links to the download registration. A Windows Live ID is required, as is the selection of the right occupation before the downloads are shown. IT Manager or developer will do fine on this screen.
Windows 7 SP1 Beta is offered via Windows Update or as an ISO image that needs to be burned before it can be used and tested.

A small program is downloaded if the Windows Update option is selected. This tool will enable the service pack download in Windows Update, we have uploaded the 32-bit and 64-bit tool to our server for your convenience.

It usually takes a moment before the updates become available via Windows Update. An important update is offered prior to the Service Pack 1 update.
Windows 7 users who ponder with the though of installing the update should consider the following: The Windows 7 SP1 will not add new features to the operating system which means that there is not a reason to install it on a home system.
The beta will expire on June 30, 2011 and needs to be either uninstalled or upgraded before that date.
