I miss Windows 7. Probably one of the greatest Computer Operator's in Windows History. The truth is that it's getting outdated. Yet still one of the best.
@@raginald7mars408 I use it in a Dell D630 and it literally works like a charm! I can navigate the web, use modern programs I need for school like Packet tracer without any issues and extremly smoothly.
1. The reason you got the “missing media driver” message was not because it couldn’t recognize the drives, but it was rather because it could not read off the USB after booting off of it. The system can boot off the USB, but after that, it needs to read it in order to deploy the OS, but it can’t, because it doesn’t have the necessary drivers to read off of it. If you installed it using a cd/dvd or installing it onto the correct drive by plugging the drive into a compatible PC and doing it that way and then plugging the drive into yours, then you probably wouldn’t get that error message. It’s not because you’re lacking Intel RST drivers or NVMe, unless you’re using RST which is very unlikely or if you have ONLY am NVMe. I’m not sure why it worked once you integrated them, but once I integrated unnecessary drivers for already supported devices while installing 8.1, and it somehow worked. 2. The reason the nVidia drivers couldn’t install properly is because the Win7 wHQL servers are down since January, so it can’t connect to them to determine whether or not drivers are valid and authentic, so no driver signatures will work and they will be detected as illegitimate. To solve this issue, you have to use DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely uninstall the current display drivers and then disable Driver Signing and disable integrity checks via CMD while restarting and then get the official SHA-2 hotfixes from Microsoft and lastly, install the drivers as admin. nVidia has addressed this issue here: nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5445/~/changes-to-the-display-driver-installation-process-under-microsoft-windows-7 3. The reason Fortnite did not work on Win7, is because this March(very recently) Fortnite dropped support for Windows 7 and 8.x. 4. I’m not sure why the games kept freezing and crashing, but you’re probably correct that it has to do with outdated nVidia drivers. Nonetheless, this was a great video.
Windows 7 is not outdated too much if everything is patched for current suitation,I think Ramtech could do a revision multiple years later. If using XP,that would be a total different story just like the video you uploaded 10 months ago.I'm using POSReady 2009 as daily XP OS with everything patched through WIndows Update and WSUS Server.Most softwares stop supporting XP around 2014~2017 and some of them(Adobe Creative Suite) stop supporting XP before reaching the EOL date due to XPx86 was too common at that time.
Windows 7 was my OS of choice that I stuck with pretty much since it came out until Microsoft decided to cut support to it. 10 is fine but it doesn't come close to capturing the magic of win7 and all the bloatware is very offputting
5:16 SDI origin (snappy driver installer) is really good at installing drivers for old OS's and or obscure hardware, it'll be very useful for this series and just other troubleshooting
rocking win7 here since 2009. it's fine really since win7 is the basis for all post-windows os so the only reason something may be incompatible is if ms or the devs make it so. and even if they do, many "win 10+ only" games will run no problem just by replacing a .dll the main problem really is lack of keyboard and mouse drivers
Wdym? Do keyboard and mice not just plug and play like they do on Windows 10? For a couple weeks during COVID I switched back to Windows 7 and my keyboard and mouse worked fine (though I wasn't USB patched so had to use a PS/2 keyboard during setup).
Been running windows 7 on a 3700X build I did back in 2020, had to hack in an NVME driver for the M.2 slot, it works alright. It allows me to run a simple smb file sharing network I can access anywhere on any device in my house, they took that away or made it difficult in Win 10/11. Thinking of upgrading it to Win 10 when I swap on either a 5800X3D or 5900X, but I use my 5700U laptop for almost everything lately.
still have my original windows 7 pro disc and product key , putting together an old computer system to run it on ; win 7 pro was the most user friendly system MS had IMO so what does MS do - they kill it and started making their app more and more and more user UNFRIENDLY 😡
I have my windows 7 pro pc working now , only draw back is how slow it is when you are use to the speed of a windows 11 pro system ; if I had the money I'm sure some pc guru could upgrade my ssd , memory and gpu and make the system much faster but that will have to wait until I can come up with the money ; but hey , I have a pc that can run dark basic pro now and since I don't use it to surf the web or use it for anything else on the web , it is a system that I don't have to worry about keeping it up to date
A lot of people myself included would k177 to get Windows 7 to run on modern hardware. If you could evaulate a bunch of mobos and find the one that had the most support and build Windows 7 systems based on it, you could really make bank. Old people, or blind visually impaired people such as myself, loathe Windows 10 and can't stand it or can't use it. There is a massive niche market for people who would give their arm and a leg for the latest hardware running 7... for video production and actually... getting work done. Most of us have kept right on using Windows 7 right into 2023 without any issues and it runs smoking fast in 2023... albeit on our hardware that is now 10 years old. So we're dying for a hardware upgrade, but want nothing to do with an OS jump to an inferior operating system saturated with cruftware, telemetry spyware, and just messed up and changed everywhere for no reason at all... and with a completely unusable alphabatized START menu.
It Is Really Sad! There Could Be A Toggle Switch To Swap Back To The old Layout!! I Moved Away From Microsoft To Kubuntu With The KDE Desktop! I Can Move things Around And Make It Look Anyway I CHOOSE!! Learn Linux You Will Not Regret It! Going On 4 Years And I Do Not Regret It At All!! I Can Even Run A VM Inside Linux With Win7 OS!! then My Kubuntu Machine Controls The Traffic!!!
Latest hardware can run Windows 7. My current build is using mostly new components and has no issues thus far. Windows 7 64 bit will be compatible with 99% of hardware that runs Windows 10 and 11. The drivers might be an issue for a bit, but there is an extended kernel being worked on by some guys on the r/windows7 subreddit, so you should be just fine getting modern hardware to work with it. Windows 7 is the greatest operating system I have ever used. I grew up with it and fell in love with it. I learned to compute with it, and I will continue with it until my computer falls apart. At that point, I'll just give up on computing. Microsoft is getting far too comfortable with my private information. Best, T.W.
i had to use third party software just to replace the atrocious start button on both win 10 and 11 I hate them so fucking much that i would rather have Win 8 start menu
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller Yeah, I use OpenShell, ShutUp10, and WinAeroTweaker to make the menu like Windows 7, and turn off all the spyware, and bring back some of the Windows 7 features. All three are free written by people like you and me who couldn't stand Win10 interface. Been running them since I first installation, and the only problem I've ever had is I can't activate Win10... so maybe do that before you install them.
Thanks for this! I'm building a new gaming computer, and I'm planning to use the older one (Ryzen 3600, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti) to replace my VERY OLD day-to-day work/home computer (i7 4790, GTX 1660). I'm looking to install Win 7 to one of the SSD drives on what will be the "new" day-to-day, because I have a number of mostly simple, really old games that I still occasionally enjoy wasting time with, that won't run on Windows 10/11. Hopefully, this tutorial will make that possible, and I'll be able to pass my older day-to-day to a relative whose computer not only has the nerve to be even older than my old one, but which has always had much worse specs!
Not only that, modern apps just doesnt work and you have to find alternatives. I modded my windows 10 to look like 7, it's 80% complete but windows 10 will be out of support too. I hate windows 11.@@ad1340yt
the answer is : yes. i've used it for a short while during summer of 2022 for nostalgia purpose. i have a i5-9600k pc build edit : despite already having done this myself, i watched because i still found it entertaining :)
I am. I have no real issues. There is an extended kernel in the works to help run programs that have stopped supporting that version of Windows. The operating system is still just as wonderful as when I first used it, and I have every intention of using it for the foreseeable future.
I love Windows 7 but my Modern PC isnt really designed for Windows 7 and I cant play Steam games anymore because W7 and W8 wont be supported by steam soon Windows 7 was so clean and easy usable and its so beautiful
I use Win7 but only on old HW like Skylake or older using an ISO that was prepared by a Gigabyte tool that adds USB3 support circa 2015. It also stays offline, its a vastly better experience than Win 10 but its for SW development only. Any newer HW, it would have to run in a VM or use I Classic Shell to make Win10 look and feel older. Just for kicks, I have tried Vista because thats pretty close to Win7 but even harder to get running except on old 2010 mobos as used by i7 860 (no USB3 at all).
i have a desktop pc running windows 7, it’s a modern pc and just installed 7 on it because the motherboard driver page still has drivers for windows 7, and one thing i noticed is fortnite worked completely fine on it up until the release of chapter 4. whatever changes they made in chapter 4 prevent the game from working on windows 7, not sure why or if there’s a way to fix
You would need to have some software analysis like ADA or IDA Pro to find out where are the links and dependencies are. Something has definitely happened there.
Actually, Windows 10 will be supported until 2032 OFFICIALLY the same way Windows 7 is supported until October 2024. Through official Microsoft patches intended for Windows Embedded POSReady (Windows 7) or Windows IoT (Windows 10) that are actually compatible with all versions of Windows 7 or Windows 10 respectively. Again, they're fully compatible with Windows 7 Pro / Windows 10 Pro (or Home, for that matter), and since they're officially sanctioned Microsoft drivers, you can keep using Windows 10 carefree for another *checks watch* 8 years 10 months and 11 days! (as of Nov 27 '23). Tutorial for Windows 7: www.youtube.com/watch?=0McZCG8eSO0 Tutorial for Windows 10: Isn't necessary for another 2 years (so no one's made one yet) but when it happens, it should be more or less the same process as the tutorial above, just searching for Windows 10 IoT Extended Security Update drivers rather than Windows 7 Embedded POSReady Extended Security Update drivers. Might not be the same driver site (looks ancient) so I'd set a reminder to Google that for October 14, 2025. ;-)
Awesome!!! I would love to try put Windows 7 on my Asrock motherboard - Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E with Intel Core i7 12700K @ 3.6 GHz, 64 GB RAM DDR4 @ 3200 MHz and Nvidia RTX 3060 @ 12 GB VRAM. ********************** I still using Windows 7 today! Windows 7 still rocking stronger running on my old HP desktop for 10 years since I bought HP computer in August 2013 from HP shopping website! Because I love Windows 7 for gaming! It come with two 1 TB Seagate hard drive (Advanced Format = AF) and it's CMR types. I did upgraded RAM to 16 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz from 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz and added Western Digital Blue 6 TB hard drive (CMR type) SATA for to put a lot of PC games on there. Finally play Starcraft 2 and SpellForce 3 (with modded to remove few useless effect like fogs, blur to increase FPS speed up gain about 10 - 15 FPS total about between 30 FPS - 45 FPS on Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM DDR3 @ 1600 MHz with Nvidia GT 630 (Kepler type) with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. Windows 7 rocking and very solid operating so far for 10 years! No motherboard failure, No GPU failure, No RAM failure, No Hard drive failure and No Power supply failure yet!!! If something go gone wrong then I know to fix is to replace hardware parts on myself. Powerful HP desktop computer model name is H8-1360T and it's beast gaming computer used low power without overclock so far! Hooray!!! 👍 Because Windows 7 and Windows XP are real sister operating system which are best in the world!🤩 I had old DELL computers with Windows XP used for gaming and love it. I played Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Age of Empire 2 and 3, SpellForce 1 to 2, Armies of Exigo, Age of Mythology and Stronghold games. I had MSI laptop come with Windows 10 (I disabled auto update with program name is StopUpdates10 to prevent any problems also it will work for Windows 11 and later to block auto Window updates) and play Nintendo Switch games on Yuzu emulator and Ryujinx emulator on Nvidia RTX 3060 and running amazing smooth. Awesome! I did try Linux Mint running on my Windows 7 used VMware Workstation Pro program without change operating system. I love Linux Mint look similar to Windows XP and 7. If Microsoft company doing a lot of worse in later new operating system then I will never touch it and will going to Linux Mint for everyday to use on internet in near future. Cheers My rate for best operating system list: 1st: Windows 7 2nd: Windows XP 3rd: Windows 10
I got my first Windows 7 install done not long after it was released in 2009. I still have two machines with it installed - a desktop which rarely gets used these days as I don't have the room for it and a laptop which was used regularly up until today when I finally replaced the monitor on a Linux box that I use at my bedside. For that matter, my single Windows 10 laptop is configured to look and (as far as possible) run like Windows 7. I've yet to try W11 but then I don't have a computer that would support it normally so I'd have to use one of the workarounds so I'll have to wait until one of my existing machines becomes available and isn't needed for anything. I just don't trust Microsoft updates!
omg if you can, can you send me any tutorials/tips you got for making windows 10 like 7? i got most of the looks down but i wanna see if i can do more since you said you made it run like 7 as well
Windows 7 can be installed on an 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X CPU running on a compatible motherboard with downloadable Windows 7 drivers. Mine is an MSI X470 Gaming Pro motherboard, still sold retail. The only built-in port not supported by Windows 7 is USB-C (Microsoft never updated the driver). No problem, I just use a USB-C to USB-3 adaptor.
I really love windows 7 so I had to trouble myself and mod windows 10 to make it look like windows 7. I am 80% there, I'm just having a hard time reviving the game explorer and the battery and volume flyout. And I can't do anything about the hard coded stuff.
Window 7 OFFICIALLY runs on 7'th Gen Intel (didn't originally, but Intel caved in as 7 was still supported OFFICIALLY when the 7'th gen CPUs showed up) - and UNOFFICIALLY on later gens. You *might* have issues with updates on later gen CPUs causing issues.
Funny enough Fortnite ran on Windows 8.1 just fine. Even with the error, the game still ran without issue PUBG couldnt even run on windows 8.1 for some reason, but it can run on windows 10.
I still use it to this day. I use only browser, office and old Autocad on it. No issues, 4 years without reinstall or crash, became lil sluggish in the past few months but nothing annoing.
Still use it daily, never an infection, never an external attack, all the software I need I archived it on my HDD and it is always fresh and useful and stable, no need for the failures that are WIN 10\11. Maybe I could go for Windows 8.1 with all updates and service packs in the future, but some of its innate features can be integrated non-natively on windows 7 too.
I have a HP ProBook 650 G1 that ran Windows 7 for the longest time. It’s sad to see that Win7 is being pushed into history. I had to upgrade my laptop to Win10 Pro, which works fine but I love the user-friendliness of Win7.
Not so much for people like me for example I don't have fast enough ram then I tried it on tiny 11 in virtualbox same result ram is significantly slow. So I want to dualboot it but my keyboard wont work idk why
Or maybe just mod Windows 10 to more look like Windows 7. That is also an option and dang it looks really damn close to what it was minus the limitations of Windows 10 sucking some metro things into the theme and mixing it up so there is a metro/aero symbionte.
After Win 7 EOS I Left The SPYWARE Behind and Moved To Linux Kubuntu I Have never Made A Better Choice! It Took Some Time To Learn how Drives Are Mounted And Where Programs etc. But It is Well Worth Learning To know I Am Not Wearing Out My System Calling Microsoft 24 7! Windows 7 Was Great But They Killed It By Adding Telemetry And Other MALWARE!!
im still on windows 7 and im talking on it from a lenovo 110-15ibr from 2016 that was made for windows 10 and im still good with it Winodws 7 was the best os ever created nobody is changing my opinion
also time moves on,Newer computer wont accept older versions of Windows,Microsoft are closing of a lot of the older version's of windows,My gaming computer will accept windows 10,Be glad to upgrade hardware,Then can upgrade to Windows 11
Nice work man. A few notes from myself, who is a all time W7 user, I'll keep using it until the last day it works, and then I will probably kill myself. Because 10 and 11 are so ugly I will never make it. So, yeah, I run 7 on 9900 and everything works (I am not a gamer nor content editor, just a user). It is worth noting, 9900 is old as of today, as you actually say in the end, so yeah, it is not that modern any more. But anyways. Some points on the installation. - USB -- I recommend finding a board with two PS/2, keyboard and mouse problem during installation solved. - nvme -- yes use the nvme driver enabled installer, or slip stream the driver into the original installer (that is, if you don't want to use SATA SSD, which of course works without problem, just the speed is slow). - UHD 630 -- the driver officially doesn't exist for 7, but it is just modification in one line of the driver code to add 7 compatibility and I am excited to confirm UHD 630 works like a charm on 7. So all drivers are installed and not a single conflict in the device manager. Keep up the good stuff man.
I don't know if Intel boards have this, but I know Gigabyte has utilities that allow you to slipstream USB, SATA and NVMe into the installer USB for different chipsets, and they even work across brands (I've used their tools on both ASRock and MSI with no issue). You just have to make sure you're getting the one for your chipset (Z390, H370, B450, etc.). No issue with USB when taking this route.
It's November 23, 2023, and we still use Windows 7 in all our Computers in our workplace (38 Desktop Computers and 7 Modern Laptops), and they do the job perfectly. NOTE: we don't use Internet at work.
What safety advice would you give to those of us who want to use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on an older PC now that Microsoft has stopped releasing security patches? Would installing a third party anti virus and fire wall and practicing good digital hygiene be sufficient in safely navigating online on a Windows 7 PC? I mainly use my PC for Microsoft office and browsing the web. Thanks for your assistance.
@@RamtechENG Thanks for the reply. So, would a good anti-virus and firewall be sufficient for me to to do internet banking through my old Windows 7 PC? I do not feel the need the upgrade to the newer versions of Windows as Windows 7 seems to do the job. Thanks in advance.
@@Streubanane Thanks for your reply. You say that AV solutions depend on a patched OS. Then, how come Avast and Panda offer free anti virus for Windows 7 PCs? Panda even offers free anti virus for Windows XP PCs on their website. I have been using free anti virus for a decade and have not had any problems. Every now and then I scan with Malwarebytes free for peace of mind🙂. Thanks for your input.
The answer is yes, but Steam is incompatible with Windows 7/8, including Roblox which shows a white screen. It's highly recommended to use it not for gaming, but for work, etc.
I think I am going to have the best luck building a new system is using your same motherboard. If I want to have windows 7 and hek yeah i sure do, even if a few newer games might not play.
I can't get my motherboard to boot a known working WIndows 7 installer on USB key in CSM mode, so I made up a UEFI bootable one using an ISO from another TH-cam video where the guy rolled in 800 drivers he scavenged from everywhere and baked into the ISO. I can boot it up all the way to the point of the WIndows 7 installer logo animation, and then it hangs right at the end of the animation. I'm going to follow your video and see if I can use the methods you used to get Win7 running on a Ryzen 9 7959x with 128gb RAM / Gigglebyte AORUS X670 Elite Gaming motherboard. I still use Windows 7 every day in 2023 for the last 10 years on an FX-8350 and it runs like a pimped out dream. At the moment I'm running Zorin OS (linux, but with a Win7 like interface) on the 8950x and it's not bad... It's actually pretty good, once you change a lot of things... dark theme it, increase mouse pointer size, icon sizes, text sizes, etc. However, I really need a WIn7 environment that can run Windows apps natively... mainly Sony Vegas. I bought a copy of WIn 10 and I'll install it as multiboot with eveyrthing else but man I so don't want to live on that desktop if I can avoid it any way possible. BTW, all my Steam games run just fine under Windows 7 on the FX-8350 in 2023 and I've never had an issue with them. Steam still supports Windows 7, although they've foolishly stated they are going to end that support Dec 2023.
I still run Win 7 on 2 pcs and my laptop. Also have 2 on 10, which dual boot, one with Mint and one with Zorin. I will not go to the spyware laughingly called Windows 11. I will switch to some flavor of Linux when that time comes
not really good idea today, i installed windows 7 on my gaming pc with gtx 1660 twice, in 2022 it was working fine, everything was working and i even played games without problems, in 2023 after one year, i tried to return to windows 7, and it is now very different, it still works very smooth, but most programs stopped support for windows 7, but older versions work just fine, almost all of popular browsers like chrome, opera stopped support too, atleast firefox is still supporting it, and gaming, in 2022 i played games without problems, it was working smooth, in 2023 games now for some reason just freezing and stuttering, maybe just lack of drivers, i will try soon again, maybe just downloaded wrong iso, but its not good idea to install it today, but you can still use it, the only big problem now that steam will stop working in january 2024, for now you still can use it, but you will need to install all drivers, all updates, and many other stuff, if you want to use it.
I can install it correctly on a MSI Z270 using the Smart Tool application to create the USB but once Windows 7 starts, I can't get the USB key/mouse to work.
Still use Win 7 in 2024. It's still the latest great operating system from Microsoft. I won't getting pushed ober to something I don't like. I am not a fan of either Win 10 or 11 and unntil MS comes with a great OS again, I will hold on to Win 7.
i have a samsung laptop that came with windows 7 but was upgraded to 10,but i was able to install 7 again with the recovery cd that came with it (had (it was basically a windows 7 installer disc)
i had an i7 980x lasted 10 years, upgraded to i9 10980xe but searched for mobo that had win7 support (Gigabyte X299 UD4 Pro), then with sysprep got same win7 running, would hate to reinstall all the programs. ofc i have multi boot including win 10, also syspreped. using win7 most of the time. a mature OS is not a bad thing!
I use a 9800x ht off on x299 dark. Gskill 4600 @ 4000 16-18-18-36. Performance is amazing and nvme and all stufs work correctly. Connected at Alienware aw3225hf the 3080 ftw3 can do 240hz @ 4k over hdmi.
I still run W7 on my Dell XPS M1730 that I use every day, for some reason I am still getting security updates, I'm not complaining but I would like to know why I'm stll getting them, anyone know?

1. The reason you got the “missing media driver” message was not because it couldn’t recognize the drives, but it was rather because it could not read off the USB after booting off of it. The system can boot off the USB, but after that, it needs to read it in order to deploy the OS, but it can’t, because it doesn’t have the necessary drivers to read off of it. If you installed it using a cd/dvd or installing it onto the correct drive by plugging the drive into a compatible PC and doing it that way and then plugging the drive into yours, then you probably wouldn’t get that error message.
It’s not because you’re lacking Intel RST drivers or NVMe, unless you’re using RST which is very unlikely or if you have ONLY am NVMe.
I’m not sure why it worked once you integrated them, but once I integrated unnecessary drivers for already supported devices while installing 8.1, and it somehow worked.
2. The reason the nVidia drivers couldn’t install properly is because the Win7 wHQL servers are down since January, so it can’t connect to them to determine whether or not drivers are valid and authentic, so no driver signatures will work and they will be detected as illegitimate. To solve this issue, you have to use DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely uninstall the current display drivers and then disable Driver Signing and disable integrity checks via CMD while restarting and then get the official SHA-2 hotfixes from Microsoft and lastly, install the drivers as admin. nVidia has addressed this issue here: nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5445/~/changes-to-the-display-driver-installation-process-under-microsoft-windows-7
3. The reason Fortnite did not work on Win7, is because this March(very recently) Fortnite dropped support for Windows 7 and 8.x.
4. I’m not sure why the games kept freezing and crashing, but you’re probably correct that it has to do with outdated nVidia drivers.

Windows 7 was great! Though as the years go by, it is slowly starting to show its age. I still have a Windows 7 back-up drive.
It's only showing it's age due to lack of support though
still have my original windows 7 pro disc and product key , putting together an old computer system
to run it on ; win 7 pro was the most user friendly system MS had IMO
so what does MS do - they kill it and started making their app more and more and more user UNFRIENDLY
😡
I have my windows 7 pro pc working now , only draw back is how slow it is when you are use to the speed of a windows 11 pro system ; if I had the money I'm sure some pc guru could upgrade my ssd , memory and gpu and make the system much faster but that will have to wait until I can come up with the money ; but hey , I have a pc that can run dark basic pro now and since I don't use it to surf the web or use it for anything else on the web , it is a system that I don't have to worry about keeping it up to date

I have managed to install it on my Lenovo 100e 2nd gen which originally ran windows 10 pro, I will never regret going to windows 7.
A lot of people myself included would k177 to get Windows 7 to run on modern hardware.
If you could evaulate a bunch of mobos and find the one that had the most support and build Windows 7 systems based on it, you could really make bank. Old people, or blind visually impaired people such as myself, loathe Windows 10 and can't stand it or can't use it.
There is a massive niche market for people who would give their arm and a leg for the latest hardware running 7... for video production and actually... getting work done. Most of us have kept right on using Windows 7 right into 2023 without any issues and it runs smoking fast in 2023... albeit on our hardware that is now 10 years old. So we're dying for a hardware upgrade, but want nothing to do with an OS jump to an inferior operating system saturated with cruftware, telemetry spyware, and just messed up and changed everywhere for no reason at all... and with a completely unusable alphabatized START menu.
It Is Really Sad! There Could Be A Toggle Switch To Swap Back To The old Layout!! I Moved Away From Microsoft To Kubuntu With The KDE Desktop! I Can Move things Around And Make It Look Anyway I CHOOSE!! Learn Linux You Will Not Regret It! Going On 4 Years And I Do Not Regret It At All!! I Can Even Run A VM Inside Linux With Win7 OS!! then My Kubuntu Machine Controls The Traffic!!!
Latest hardware can run Windows 7. My current build is using mostly new components and has no issues thus far. Windows 7 64 bit will be compatible with 99% of hardware that runs Windows 10 and 11. The drivers might be an issue for a bit, but there is an extended kernel being worked on by some guys on the r/windows7 subreddit, so you should be just fine getting modern hardware to work with it. Windows 7 is the greatest operating system I have ever used. I grew up with it and fell in love with it. I learned to compute with it, and I will continue with it until my computer falls apart. At that point, I'll just give up on computing. Microsoft is getting far too comfortable with my private information.
Best,

i had to use third party software just to replace the atrocious start button on both win 10 and 11
I hate them so fucking much that i would rather have Win 8 start menu
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller Yeah, I use OpenShell, ShutUp10, and WinAeroTweaker to make the menu like Windows 7, and turn off all the spyware, and bring back some of the Windows 7 features. All three are free written by people like you and me who couldn't stand Win10 interface. Been running them since I first installation, and the only problem I've ever had is I can't activate Win10... so maybe do that before you install them.

I'm building a new gaming computer, and I'm planning to use the older one (Ryzen 3600, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti) to replace my VERY OLD day-to-day work/home computer (i7 4790, GTX 1660).
I'm looking to install Win 7 to one of the SSD drives on what will be the "new" day-to-day, because I have a number of mostly simple, really old games that I still occasionally enjoy wasting time with, that won't run on Windows 10/11.
Hopefully, this tutorial will make that possible, and I'll be able to pass my older day-to-day to a relative whose computer not only has the nerve to be even older than my old one, but which has always had much worse specs!
Very old?! I use GTX 1660 SUPER and INTEL I5 for extreme gaming!

yeah cuz security reasons

edit : despite already having done this myself, i watched because i still found it entertaining :)
I am. I have no real issues. There is an extended kernel in the works to help run programs that have stopped supporting that version of Windows. The operating system is still just as wonderful as when I first used it, and I have every intention of using it for the foreseeable future.
Extended Kernel?
What's that?
Did that say 16 THOUSAND GIGABYTES
Thanks for this video. You can also move existing Win7 to modern CPU/MB using Acronis backup/restore.
I have so much memories of windows 7
Used it as a main OS until 2020 when i got a new laptop (my old one had a *2010* pentium)
I use Windows 7 professional on my PC and it still has good performance
I love Windows 7 but my Modern PC isnt really designed for Windows 7 and I cant play Steam games anymore because W7 and W8 wont be supported by steam soon
Windows 7 was so clean and easy usable and its so beautiful
I remember using Windows 7 on the crappy laptop my family bought to play those old spongebob flash games lol i was a big fan of spongebob back then
I use Win7 but only on old HW like Skylake or older using an ISO that was prepared by a Gigabyte tool that adds USB3 support circa 2015. It also stays offline, its a vastly better experience than Win 10 but its for SW development only. Any newer HW, it would have to run in a VM or use I Classic Shell to make Win10 look and feel older.
Just for kicks, I have tried Vista because thats pretty close to Win7 but even harder to get running except on old 2010 mobos as used by i7 860 (no USB3 at all).
I still use Windows 7. Can't find any good reason to change, OK maybe to Linux.
I still use this awesome fast windows OS until the end of Microsoft Security Essential support for win7, It's mean the end of 2023.
i have a desktop pc running windows 7, it’s a modern pc and just installed 7 on it because the motherboard driver page still has drivers for windows 7, and one thing i noticed is fortnite worked completely fine on it up until the release of chapter 4. whatever changes they made in chapter 4 prevent the game from working on windows 7, not sure why or if there’s a way to fix
Where did you download windows 7 legally?
where did u download windows 7? planning to install it to my pc 😊
You would need to have some software analysis like ADA or IDA Pro to find out where are the links and dependencies are.
Something has definitely happened there.

You might as well try and get a solid copy.
Once you get a legit copy, it's all yours.
I also miss Windows 7. Ended up getting used to Win10 but will have to switch to 11 in 2 years, which absolutely blows.
Actually, Windows 10 will be supported until 2032 OFFICIALLY the same way Windows 7 is supported until October 2024.
Through official Microsoft patches intended for Windows Embedded POSReady (Windows 7) or Windows IoT (Windows 10) that are actually compatible with all versions of Windows 7 or Windows 10 respectively.
Again, they're fully compatible with Windows 7 Pro / Windows 10 Pro (or Home, for that matter), and since they're officially sanctioned Microsoft drivers, you can keep using Windows 10 carefree for another *checks watch* 8 years 10 months and 11 days! (as of Nov 27 '23).
Tutorial for Windows 7:
www.youtube.com/watch?=0McZCG8eSO0
Tutorial for Windows 10:
Isn't necessary for another 2 years (so no one's made one yet) but when it happens, it should be more or less the same process as the tutorial above, just searching for Windows 10 IoT Extended Security Update drivers rather than Windows 7 Embedded POSReady Extended Security Update drivers. Might not be the same driver site (looks ancient) so I'd set a reminder to Google that for October 14, 2025. ;-)
You don't have to ditch Windows 7. Just keep it on the side.
Give Kubuntu or Regata a try as another system.

I still using Windows 7 today! Windows 7 still rocking stronger running on my old HP desktop for 10 years since I bought HP computer in August 2013 from HP shopping website! Because I love Windows 7 for gaming! It come with two 1 TB Seagate hard drive (Advanced Format = AF) and it's CMR types. I did upgraded RAM to 16 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz from 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz and added Western Digital Blue 6 TB hard drive (CMR type) SATA for to put a lot of PC games on there. Finally play Starcraft 2 and SpellForce 3 (with modded to remove few useless effect like fogs, blur to increase FPS speed up gain about 10 - 15 FPS total about between 30 FPS - 45 FPS on Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM DDR3 @ 1600 MHz with Nvidia GT 630 (Kepler type) with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. Windows 7 rocking and very solid operating so far for 10 years! No motherboard failure, No GPU failure, No RAM failure, No Hard drive failure and No Power supply failure yet!!! If something go gone wrong then I know to fix is to replace hardware parts on myself. Powerful HP desktop computer model name is H8-1360T and it's beast gaming computer used low power without overclock so far! Hooray!!! 👍
Because Windows 7 and Windows XP are real sister operating system which are best in the world!🤩
I had old DELL computers with Windows XP used for gaming and love it. I played Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Age of Empire 2 and 3, SpellForce 1 to 2, Armies of Exigo, Age of Mythology and Stronghold games.
I had MSI laptop come with Windows 10 (I disabled auto update with program name is StopUpdates10 to prevent any problems also it will work for Windows 11 and later to block auto Window updates) and play Nintendo Switch games on Yuzu emulator and Ryujinx emulator on Nvidia RTX 3060 and running amazing smooth. Awesome!
I did try Linux Mint running on my Windows 7 used VMware Workstation Pro program without change operating system. I love Linux Mint look similar to Windows XP and 7.
If Microsoft company doing a lot of worse in later new operating system then I will never touch it and will going to Linux Mint for everyday to use on internet in near future. Cheers

Have you tried Kubuntu or Regata?
I've heard Regata is geared towards gamers.
I miss windows 7 bro. It helped me become really good with computers even as a 6 year old
I got my first Windows 7 install done not long after it was released in 2009. I still have two machines with it installed - a desktop which rarely gets used these days as I don't have the room for it and a laptop which was used regularly up until today when I finally replaced the monitor on a Linux box that I use at my bedside. For that matter, my single Windows 10 laptop is configured to look and (as far as possible) run like Windows 7. I've yet to try W11 but then I don't have a computer that would support it normally so I'd have to use one of the workarounds so I'll have to wait until one of my existing machines becomes available and isn't needed for anything. I just don't trust Microsoft updates!
omg if you can, can you send me any tutorials/tips you got for making windows 10 like 7? i got most of the looks down but i wanna see if i can do more since you said you made it run like 7 as well
Windows 7 can be installed on an 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X CPU running on a compatible motherboard with downloadable Windows 7 drivers. Mine is an MSI X470 Gaming Pro motherboard, still sold retail. The only built-in port not supported by Windows 7 is USB-C (Microsoft never updated the driver). No problem, I just use a USB-C to USB-3 adaptor.
I really love windows 7 so I had to trouble myself and mod windows 10 to make it look like windows 7. I am 80% there, I'm just having a hard time reviving the game explorer and the battery and volume flyout. And I can't do anything about the hard coded stuff.
Windows 7 only runs on up to 6th Gen Intel Processors, so I am surprised to see it work.
Google for it. Some dudes are running it on even 12th gen.
Window 7 OFFICIALLY runs on 7'th Gen Intel (didn't originally, but Intel caved in as 7 was still supported OFFICIALLY when the 7'th gen CPUs showed up) - and UNOFFICIALLY on later gens.
You *might* have issues with updates on later gen CPUs causing issues.
And don't forget LGA 2066,probably the 10980XE is supported
The most important: Windows Experience index = not show. XD Great video bro
Babe wake up, Ramtech just posted
Funny enough Fortnite ran on Windows 8.1 just fine. Even with the error, the game still ran without issue
PUBG couldnt even run on windows 8.1 for some reason, but it can run on windows 10.
Wish I would have found this when i tried installing win7 on my hard drive so I can get the free upgrade
pls make a video installing Windows Vista on a PC gamer 😔💜
I still use Windows 7 as well as XP and 11
Yo ngl the windows license sponsor was hella sketchy 😂
Eventually Windows 10 will be retro. I find that sad but I am quite sentimental.
I still use it to this day. I use only browser, office and old Autocad on it. No issues, 4 years without reinstall or crash, became lil sluggish in the past few months but nothing annoing.
Still use it daily, never an infection, never an external attack, all the software I need I archived it on my HDD and it is always fresh and useful and stable, no need for the failures that are WIN 10\11.
Maybe I could go for Windows 8.1 with all updates and service packs in the future, but some of its innate features can be integrated non-natively on windows 7 too.
"everything works fine in apex"
**Dies on the right timing**
I have a HP ProBook 650 G1 that ran Windows 7 for the longest time. It’s sad to see that Win7 is being pushed into history. I had to upgrade my laptop to Win10 Pro, which works fine but I love the user-friendliness of Win7.

Of course you can I have been running windows 7 and still do, Only my desk top has windows 10.
Did you know that you can update windows 7 with legacy update in 2023 ?
How?
Windows 7 running in Virtualbox is good enough for running the apps that no longer work in Windows 10 etc.
Not so much for people like me for example I don't have fast enough ram then I tried it on tiny 11 in virtualbox same result ram is significantly slow. So I want to dualboot it but my keyboard wont work idk why
You know what's really much better, running Linux Mint with Cinnamon as desktop environment
I’ve got 16ram on my vm windows 7 works really well
7:02 you can use Heroic lacher for epic game
4:50 - it's your current CPU frequency. It will rise if CPU gets loaded

Run GeforceNow on that glitch, get games like Death Stranding running like butter in upto 4k even on these old systems
Or maybe just mod Windows 10 to more look like Windows 7. That is also an option and dang it looks really damn close to what it was minus the limitations of Windows 10 sucking some metro things into the theme and mixing it up so there is a metro/aero symbionte.
how

If that is the case, do not put something older than the original, even though your processor may be compatible with it.
also time moves on,Newer computer wont accept older versions of Windows,Microsoft are closing of a lot of the older version's of windows,My gaming computer will accept windows 10,Be glad to upgrade hardware,Then can upgrade to Windows 11
still using windows 7, tried 10 and 11. still have a machine on 11. but prefer the other 2 laptops on windows 7.
Nice work man. A few notes from myself, who is a all time W7 user, I'll keep using it until the last day it works, and then I will probably kill myself. Because 10 and 11 are so ugly I will never make it.
So, yeah, I run 7 on 9900 and everything works (I am not a gamer nor content editor, just a user). It is worth noting, 9900 is old as of today, as you actually say in the end, so yeah, it is not that modern any more. But anyways. Some points on the installation.
- USB -- I recommend finding a board with two PS/2, keyboard and mouse problem during installation solved.
- nvme -- yes use the nvme driver enabled installer, or slip stream the driver into the original installer (that is, if you don't want to use SATA SSD, which of course works without problem, just the speed is slow).
- UHD 630 -- the driver officially doesn't exist for 7, but it is just modification in one line of the driver code to add 7 compatibility and I am excited to confirm UHD 630 works like a charm on 7. So all drivers are installed and not a single conflict in the device manager.
Keep up the good stuff man.
Thanks for informing us on why you plan to remove yourself from the gene pool
I don't know if Intel boards have this, but I know Gigabyte has utilities that allow you to slipstream USB, SATA and NVMe into the installer USB for different chipsets, and they even work across brands (I've used their tools on both ASRock and MSI with no issue). You just have to make sure you're getting the one for your chipset (Z390, H370, B450, etc.). No issue with USB when taking this route.
the modification of the code for UHD 630 is there a video on how to do it? Does it work with Aero theme?

The answer is yes, but Steam is incompatible with Windows 7/8, including Roblox which shows a white screen. It's highly recommended to use it not for gaming, but for work, etc.

I can't get my motherboard to boot a known working WIndows 7 installer on USB key in CSM mode, so I made up a UEFI bootable one using an ISO from another TH-cam video where the guy rolled in 800 drivers he scavenged from everywhere and baked into the ISO. I can boot it up all the way to the point of the WIndows 7 installer logo animation, and then it hangs right at the end of the animation.
I'm going to follow your video and see if I can use the methods you used to get Win7 running on a Ryzen 9 7959x with 128gb RAM / Gigglebyte AORUS X670 Elite Gaming motherboard.
I still use Windows 7 every day in 2023 for the last 10 years on an FX-8350 and it runs like a pimped out dream.
At the moment I'm running Zorin OS (linux, but with a Win7 like interface) on the 8950x and it's not bad... It's actually pretty good, once you change a lot of things... dark theme it, increase mouse pointer size, icon sizes, text sizes, etc. However, I really need a WIn7 environment that can run Windows apps natively... mainly Sony Vegas. I bought a copy of WIn 10 and I'll install it as multiboot with eveyrthing else but man I so don't want to live on that desktop if I can avoid it any way possible.
BTW, all my Steam games run just fine under Windows 7 on the FX-8350 in 2023 and I've never had an issue with them. Steam still supports Windows 7, although they've foolishly stated they are going to end that support Dec 2023.
