Truly based.

Enjoy your sketchy activator.

you can't even use steam anymore.

>paying for it
lol

Linux Mint unironically runs more new software than Windows 7.

>>106275720
Yeah? Well we (windows chads) don't care.

>>106275720
If I cared about modern software compatibility I would be using win11.

>>106275720
Just install API extensions

>>106275545 (OP)
good for you, enjoy the vulnerabilities

>>106275865
I have Norton

I used to like to use it just for fun/nostalgia, but it's just too old to do what I need it to anymore.

>>106275875
I did get protonvpn to work with some fiddling, though

just a heads up I think windows update is broken and you need to some stuff manually to get to the last updates
the updater just hung indefinitely for me

>>106275545 (OP)
>unmodified 2011 iso
lol good luck getting it running with no usb driver

>>106275908
often it will work but take up to 24hours. trying leaving it on overnight, restarting, then leaving it on overnight again.

>ultimate
OP you need to go with enterprise, its way easier to activate. i tried to install ultimate on a laptop but finding an activator that wasnt from a sketchy jeet site was like walking through a minefield and after a while i still got a watermark on my desktop, whereas ultimate can be easily activated 0 hassle

>>106275984
>whereas ultimate can be easily activated 0 hass
enterprise*

>>106275908
From my experience, you usually need to install KB3138612 on a fresh install to fix windows update.

>>106275908
there is a manual way to get the updater up to 8.1 or something like that
not worth the hassle desu at this point it is better to run debian with wine and call it a day

CA certificate is outdated

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions
> Windows 7 Ultimate is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the most features. It includes all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional while also adding some additional enterprise-oriented features that were available on the SA-exclusive Windows 7 Enterprise, making it feature-complete with the latter; this edition was also available to home users on an individual license basis.[1] If a Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional user wished to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, they would be able to do so by using Windows Anytime Upgrade, for an additional fee. This service was still available for any users who wish to upgrade.[1] Like Windows 7 Professional, it supports up to 192 GB of RAM and up to two physical CPUs, and was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate, it does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any other exclusive features that Microsoft has stated.[1]

ultimate bloat edition. good luck op with your rose tinted endeavors.

Doesn't even run on new hardware

just remember to disable all the spyware
you are not safe just because you are using windows 7

>>106275984
dunno I activated it just fine in QEMU/KVM with keys from github.

aero>yourdesktop

>>106275875
How do I get my home bar back to this look? I hate the frosted glass look on 7.

>>106278509
QRD?

Only one more month of official Firefox support then you have to use sketchy github forks. Plus no css has() support.

>>106278620
Switch to the classic theme in personalization.

Compatibility engine/assistant doesnt gather any information but it does make your system slower and is unnecessary unless you run a bunch of Windows 9X programs and such

I have a copy of Daz' Windows Loader v2.2.2 that works fine on any BIOS system. Never needed anything else.

>>106275545 (OP)
windows 7 was peak indeed
i've gotten used to linux ever since though

I will never understand win7 baby ducks or any windows baby duck. ReactOS is basically XP tier, the ultimate baby duck and needs more QA and development. Why are you fags wasting time on this shit instead of helping a real open source Windows that, on the baby duck scale, mogs even 7?

what a retard

>>106278904
nigger

>>106278856
reactos is shit, either you are a foss shiller or you never actually tried it, it barely boots on any real hardware, barely runs any software windows 7 runs easily, windows 7 mogs it by a mile

>>106278884
Does not exist. You will never be a board and you are an insane and delusional tranny.

>3.4MB/s

So no one hosts pirated windows isos on a decent server.

Sounds like you have to work to do then, stupid faggot.

W8 is the last good version as W7 cannot run a modern release of VMware.

hahahaha suffer OP /fwt/ already had a few retards getting malware on their windows 7 systems

>>106275720
Literally Debian runs more software and games than Windows 11 these days. Try playing any 15 year old game on Windows 11, have fun tinkering for hours. Runs all out of the box on Debian.

>>106279559
this, running old games on windows 10 is a pain in the ass
with wine you just toggle which windows you want to run and that's it

>>106278856
>instead of helping
Who said anything about helping? I want to use it, not make it.

>>106275655
you can. vxkex lets you update steam and dl all new games games. if you only have REALLY old games you dont even need to do that, just run an old version of steam. the dl algo change only effects games updated after may 2025.

I thought that for Win7 Microsoft shut down the update servers. I used legacy update for my system since the official update didnt work at all for me lol

I think its still getting updates to this day, actually

>>106275545 (OP)
Okay. Take your ball with you.

>>106275545 (OP)
Is this really a thing or larp?

Are you guys really that retarded to use an abandonware?

OMG everyone do dis brossss is gonna b so EPIK joining some half starved moskal shitbag's botnet...........

7iggers are too young to know this but this has been a bug since Windows 7 SP1. I experienced this bug firsthand when working with Vizio workstations.
I have Linux users more than most, but rigging up Windows 7 to be usable on modern day hardware by running 17 webui Indian scripts is not feasible in any sense

>>106285848

MS updated the code signing algorithm to SHA-2. On Win7 you have to install KB4490628 and KB4474419 before Windows Update will work.

The other issue is that there are so many updates for Windows (before they switched to the monthly cumulative system) that PCs take a long time to parse the update catalog on the initial check for updates.

Your best bet is to install the last major updates by manually downloading them and installing them offline, then use Windows Update. But even on a high-end system Windows Update takes at least 20 minutes to parse the update catalog.

Major updates:
IE11 (KB2841134) - Get the ~22MB offline installer
2019-12 Servicing Stack Update (KB4531786)
2019-12 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 (KB4530677)
2020-01 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup (KB4539601)
2019-12 Security and Quality Rollup for .NET Framework 3.5.1 (KB4533095)
Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830)

Look into UefiSeven for mobos that don't support BIOS/CSM booting.
Unofficial generic USB3 drivers are available.
If you want to use modern onboard video, you're probably out of luck.

>>106279507
VMWare Workstation 16 can run on Win7. Look for the Eclipse Project's board.
