    I recently purchased a computer with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. It did not come with a DVD of the OS but I was able to make a System Restore Disc.  If I ever need to re-install Windows 7 from my Restore Disc I would like to install the updates as well.  Which SP do I need? I don't understand all of the terms...RC, Beta, etc.

      if you restore your Windows, go to Windows Update and install all offered Updates. The Sp1 will be released on 22th February 2011 on Windows Update.After this date you get it offered.

        Also, here is a discussion of the different terms (RC, beta, RTM...):

        Hope this helps.

          Do you have an external USB Hard Drive or can you burn a DVD ?

          If so, then once Service Pack 1 has installed and you have used the system for at least a week or so to see if there are any issues that may have occurred due to the installation of SP1,  run the below command from an Elevated Command Prompt to remove information regarding previously installed updates and SP1. NOTE that by doing so SP1 can never be removed

          dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded

          Then open Backup and Restore in the Control Panel. Click the Create a system image link in the left frame. The image created will then be Windows 7 Service Pack 1, which includes almost all of the updates that have been offered to Windows 7 since it was initially released.
