    One is the official.

    The other one is unofficial as you're not supposed to have it, and I think it is illegal to have it.

    you should be looking for builds 7229 and 7137. Commonly available via the usual unmentionable channels. Be sure to read on other web sites about the builds and what checksum to look for. This will give you some assurance that the build hasn't been screwed with by third parties.

    Stay away from ANY AND ALL builds that originated as VHD disk images.
