While Microsoft earlier said that Windows 7 RC will be available from May 5, though it is still May 4 in US, Microsoft has made available Windows 7 RC for public download.

To download Windows 7 RC, follow these steps:

1. Head over to Windows 7 page, scroll down the page a bit, and select language and version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit you wish to download. Hit Go

2. If you are not logged into your Live account, it’ll ask you to do the same.

3. Once you are logged in, you are taken to a form to fill out some basic information, it is already filled if you downloaded Windows 7 Beta using the same Live account.

4. And, the moment you submit the form, your Windows 7 RC key should be ready with a big Download button asking you to start the download.

There is no need to rush this time, as Microsoft is not going to limit number of downloads and Windows 7 RC will be available till July this year.
