The big news for yesterday was the free Windows 7 Beta download, which was only made availbe to the first 2.5 million users who subscribed to it. There are many other users who did not get a chance to download the latest Operating System, but thanks to Helmers Blog , they know a way of acquiring an official Windows 7 beta key.
On there website, they posted two direct links to where you was able to get the free Windows 7 Beta OS downloads. There were two made available, x86 (32bit) and x64 (64 bit). Below are details of how to get this key.
Firstly you have to visit TechNet Downloads, then proceed to sign in at the top of the page, the page will then load. In the window you will need to copy and paste “https://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/scripts/gcs.aspx?Product=tn-win7-64-ww&LCID=1033″ into the address bar. Although this is a 64-bit key, it will also work for the 32 bit as well.
