Windows 7 build 6720

Windows 7 build 6720 is the earliest available Milestone 3 build of Windows 7, which was shared on 27 October 2024.
==Changes==
=== Boot screen ===
A new boot screen is introduced in this build.
=== User interface ===
*The superbar design has been partially updated to resemble that of the RTM. However, design of taskbar tabs area is still the same as in previous builds.
*Desktop Window Manager applies colorization differently, using a "color dodge" effect. This effect was removed from active windows in build 6748.
*The Aero theme has been changed to a kind of hybrid between Vista and 7 style with Vista's glass texture instead of the 7 one seen in build 6608 and the white right and bottom borders like in builds 6568 and 6608.
*Show desktop plays DWM animations on windows being minimized and doesn't hide gadgets.
*The system menus gets it own bold font instead of the regular using the bold by itself.

File:Windows7-6.1.6608-OldBoldFontonSystemMenus.png|Old bold font on system menu from build 6608 (comparison)
=== Applications ===
==== Internet Explorer 8 ====
This build includes an early version of Internet Explorer 8, using the version number of 8.1. 
*An "emulate IE7" feature has been added.
*The favorites bar has been added, which replaces the "Links" toolbar.
*This is the earliest version of Internet Explorer to include developer tools.
==== Windows Media Player 12 ====
* Windows Media Player 12 setup has been updated with a new color scheme.
* The use of Aero transparency has been reduced.
==== Miscellaneous ====
*Windows Defender uses a new background gradient.
*Windows Movie Maker has been removed.
==Quirks==
=== Theme metrics ===
* The Windows Basic and Aero themes use the Tahoma font in most places rather than Segoe UI by default, due to a [Metrics] section in the theme file. Removing that section through Notepad may fix that quirk. Unlike the next build, the quirk happens only after the theme has been changed for the first time.
** Also, the saved custom theme may use Windows Classic metrics and colors.

Windows 7 build 6745

Windows 7 build 6745 is a Milestone 3 build of Windows 7, which was shared on 6 November 2024. Prior to its upload, a single screenshot of this build was shared on 21 October 2024.
This build is available in the ps-ps pseudo-locale - an automatically generated localization based on the English (United States) locale, significantly modified away from the original to test internationalization capabilities. These modifications include the addition of a five-character prefix identifying each localized string, replacement of standard Latin characters with ones featuring diacritics or similar characters from other writing systems, or the extension of certain strings' length by through the addition of exclamation marks at the end of a string.
== New features and changes ==
===Applications===
==== Internet Explorer ====
The Safety Filter has been renamed to the SmartScreen Filter (and has additionally gained new iconography), and there is no longer an option to manually invoke the Developer Tools through the main toolbar. Activities have been renamed to Web Accelerators.
==== Windows Media Center ====
The application no longer starts in full-screen mode by default.
== Bugs and quirks ==
=== Desktop Window Manager===
* The Aero Peek function of this build is buggy. It may not show a window thumbnail and may frequently crash Explorer as well. To prevent crashing, avoid moving the mouse to the taskbar window thumbnail.
* DWM is unstable on certain hypervisors and may crash upon certain events.
=== Hibernation ===
Hibernation may not work properly and will more likely cause a full system shutdown rather than saving the contents of memory to disk for later reuse.
=== Theme metrics ===
* The Windows Basic and Aero themes use the Tahoma font in most places rather than Segoe UI by default, due to [Metrics] section in theme file. Removing that section through Notepad may fix that quirk.
* The saved custom theme may use Windows Classic metrics and colors.

Windows 7 build 6767

Windows 7 build 6767 is a Milestone 3 build of Windows 7, which was shared on 20 October 2024 along with its server counterpart.
== New features and changes ==
=== User interface ===
==== Boot screen ====
The boot screen has been modified to feature the new looping progress bar design first included as part of build 6741's setup process, replacing the .
==== Taskbar ====
Task icons in the Superbar have been made slightly smaller to accommodate for the task jump list button. Tasks that are focused by the user now have darkened background icons to better indicate the current task, and the background color of both the Superbar and task previews have been significantly darkened, compared to the previous available build.
New feedback designs for hovering over a notification tray element have been added.
===== Notification tray =====
Tooltips for notification tray items no longer have icons bound to them. The overall design for hidden notification tray items has been changed to no longer sport a black dialog design, instead using translucent border designs and a white foreground dialog design. The button used to show hidden tray items has also been changed to use a new arrow design and a square button shape, in place of the previous circular Vista design.
====== Flyouts ======
The Windows Solution Center have been redesigned to sport a smaller design and includes new status iconography featuring the lighthouse seen in earlier builds.
==== Desktop Window Manager ====
More Aero Snap-related animations have been added. They can be triggered by resizing a window to the top or bottom side of the screen. The ripple feedback animation played when snapping a window has also been updated to become more visible to the user.
=== Deprecations and removals ===
Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker have been declared as deprecated in favor of their Windows Live variations (Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Windows Live Movie Maker), with the former application being removed from the operating system entirely. If attempting to upgrade to this build, Windows Setup will notify the user of the aforementioned deprecations and removals.
All sample content from Windows Vista has been temporarily removed.

Windows 7 build 6780 is a Milestone 3 build of Windows 7, which was uploaded to BetaArchive on 14 February 2009.https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7283
The build notably comes from a release branch intended for Milestone 3 code integration, as denoted by it coming from the winmain_win7m3 lab.
== Bugs ==
=== Installation ===
It is not possible to upgrade to this build due to an issue in the way how Windows Setup handles disk volumes.
=== Desktop Window Manager ===
Contents of windows may not update despite inputs registering properly and will appear to be frozen. A workaround is to minimize and maximize the window, allowing it to update properly.

Windows 7 build 6936

Windows 7 build 6936 is a build of Windows 7. It was uploaded to BetaArchive on or around 9 December 2008.https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6595&p=71404&hilit=6936#p71404
This is the last available build where the Superbar and features like desktop slideshow are not enabled by default, but using BlueBadge/Bluepill they can be enabled. This build is otherwise very similar to build 7000, which is hardly surprising considering both builds occurred during the stabilization phase of Windows 7's development.
This build is one of the last builds to include the placeholder boot screen used while the final version was still in development, although the ellipsis has been removed. It is most probably one of the first builds focused on implementing features for the official beta build that were held back from winmain in order to minimize the risk of leaks during earlier development phases. Almost all features intended for the Beta were included at this point in development.
== Changes ==
*The Start orb found during startup has been removed.
*Windows DVD Maker and Windows Fax and Scan received minor updates.
*Item layout and padding in "All Control Panel Items" have been adjusted.
*The places bar of the legacy Common File Dialog seems to be enabled by default again.
*Starting from this build, upgrading from older versions can proceed normally without encountering the bug: This version of Windows cannot be installed to this computer. One or more disk volumes were formatted in an incompatible way by a newer version of Windows.
==Bugs and quirks==
===Compatibility ===
====VMware Workstation====
It is not recommended to install this build on a disk controller other than LSI Logic as setup will hang during the second phase of installation.
===Start menu===
*The user picture will be placed incorrectly on the Start menu if the Taskbar is resized.
*When using the Classic or High Contrast themes, the shutdown button uses "System" font.

Windows 7 build 6956

Windows 7 build 6956 is a pre-beta build of Windows 7, which was shared online as an x86 Ultimate compile on 4 December 2008 and is currently the last available build before the official beta release. The build was first found in a VHD dump originating from a Samsung NC100 notebook, and can be deployed using the WinPE of build 6801.http://bbs.pcbeta.com/viewthread-359792-1-1.html This build, as well as other ensuing builds up to build 7022, has hidden features in Internet Explorer 8 that can only be unlocked via apps such as Bluepill.
This build has been mislabeled as build 6965 in multiple sources, including ZDNet, which has posted a few screenshots of build 6956 with the article name mislabeled.https://web.archive.org/web/20211204112951/https://www.zdnet.com/pictures/windows-7-build-6965-opened-up-to-the-world/
==Changes==
=== User interface ===
*The Start orb now has less-appearing outlines.
*In the Start menu, the shutdown button has been reverted to its previous size.
*The places bar of the legacy Common File Dialog seems to be disabled by default like in build 6910.
*User Account Control now shows a background again.
=== Applications ===
*The About page of Windows Media Center now references Windows 7, removing the final reference of Windows Vista.
*Windows Media Player setup has been updated.
===Control Panel===
Action Center, ClearType Text Tuner, Default Location, and Location and Other Sensors received new icons.
==Bugs and quirks==
===Upgrade===
* It is not possible to upgrade to 6956 with the current leak as the ISO image uses 6801's setup components; they can be substituted with build 7000's by replacing its install.wim with the one from this build.
*Upgrading to this build will result in an additional Windows Media Player icon being placed on the Superbar if there are only up to two pinned Windows Media Player icons beforehand, along with the user being asked to change their password as the upgrade finishes.
