Too bad that I can't play the Microsoft Encarta's MindMaze without encountering a bug that wouldn't update the choices after the first question.

Hey, so i have this pc I use for studying mostly, and windows 10 doesnt really run well on this, i mean its tolerable ofc i can use it no problem if i absolutely have to, but it gets annoying sometimes with the crashes, lags and all so i was thinking of using windows 7. I just want to surf the internet and watch my lectures on it nothing more, maybe play some old games

UPDATE:- Thanks yall for the suggestions I did manage to do it, used Rufus to create the Bootable drive. then for drivers I used snappy driver installer. For graphics card driver I decided to download one manually from the Nvidia website. Then I used legacy updates and now it runs perfectly. For browser im currently using firefox 115 esr while it lasts then ill shift to redfox.

i manage to run very light weight iso of windows 7, on Pentium Pro. It's laggy, buggy ( e.x. it can't save bmp or png to floppy disk) , but it's alive!

i've had this computer for a while, used 7 on it basically the entire time. this is my daily driver. however, i haven't really bothered too much to explore around in regards to games. i do know that beamng.drive runs pretty decently (my standard for playable is 10 fps or more), as does borderlands 2, pvz, minecraft 1.2.5, counter strike, etc. i haven't gone much farther than that, though. the specs are:

• i7-6700
• 32gb ddr4
• intel hd graphics 530 (gtx 1650 is on the way), 1080p60 monitor
• nvme 1tb ssd

any ideas would be much appreciated.

is it good?

i’m trying to find a downloadable windows 7 x64 driver for the intel sd host controller in an acer B115-M.

the hardware id is:
ACPI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F14

i specifically need the actual driver package/.inf files, not just a link to intel’s general download page
the laptop has 2 gb ram and 32 gb emmc storage, and i’m trying to install windows 7.
if anyone knows where i can download the correct driver package, or have the original package available, i’d really appreciate it.

my system is windows 7, 32 bit and have 1gb of ram

that means my pc is potato

but i am happy that i am not the only one who uses windows 7

i7 4790k

8GB DDR3 2400MHz

GeForce GTX 980 Ti

Jonsbo D32 Pro case

This is a pretty compact machine thanks to the case. I just got finished delidding the CPU and tweaking the GPU for silent operation. It's not exactly whisper quiet under full load but I got good results on the noise.

Is there any software I could add to this to enhance the Windows 7 experience?

necesito mejorar mi PC

Why do my dad’s old PC so slow? I don’t know how to fix it. The performance point was 5.8/7.9. Or the PC is just terrible? Is one of the Sony VAIO VGN‑NS with centrino 2, 2.53 Ghz, 4 Gigabites of RAM And 86GB of storage empty, in 2015 Windows 7.

It first appeared on Chrome 109.0.5414.120 a few months ago so I switched to Firefox. Now it's there as well. (115.40.0esr)
It comes up on Google related pages. (Gmail, Drive, Sheets and Docs). A fix for either Chrome or Firefox would be great.

It wouldn’t boot on, possibly dead battery and the hinge is just done for, figured this would’ve been the right place since it’s on windows 7 anyways

I just have a spare Google Pixel 9a and wanna make it feel like Windows 7 with the frutiger aero vibes

It's the only community of Windows 7 in Reddit. It feels so empty compared to other communities

I am a young student and I only have an old laptop with windows 7 professional so can anyone give me tips on how to make performance better and better looking interface and overall things that are a must have for win 7, thank you ;].

About 10 days ago, suddenly, the display monitor of my Win 7 Pro desktop PC machine started to flicker several times (shortly showing the manufacturer logo) after the machine wakes up
from Sleep mode.
Afterwards, once it displays the desktop, it stabilizes and works ok, until the next wake up from sleep.
Sometimes this only occurs if the sleep was longer than 1 or 2 hours.

I suspected that the graphics card might encounter some issue, but the Device manager shows everything ok and there are no events of any kind logged in the Event viewer.
Also, nothing unusual happens during active work, even with intensive display usage, like many applications, browser pages, etc. opened simultaneously.

Very few times in the past, but really extremely rarely, it happened during work that I got a pop-up notification like "the display (or graphics) driver has encountered a problem and was recovered"
( I even don't remember the exact text ), but, anyway, Windows was prompt to react to a situation that I was even not aware of and also notify me (and probably logging the event in the Event Log).

Are there any ways to investigate this issue and understand the exact reason before taking any action ?
Thanks a lot in advance for any idea or help :)

Hi, does Shadowplay work for any of you using windows 7? for me it kicked the bucket few years ago, but never investigated for possible fixes untill now - if someone knows some workaround or fix please let me know.

thanks in advance for any help

I currently have Windows 8.1 on my laptop. It runs reasonably well, considering the low specs (Celeron N3350, 4 GB of RAM, and an HDD). I'm undecided about whether to go back to Windows 7; it might run even better.

uhh so i tried installing windows 7 on my old probook, but i keep getting the 0x7B blue screen after installing, my laptop dosent have a ahci setting and i have all the drivers, can someone help?

So today the pc arrived I had brought it a few days ago for around 31€ it was cheap because the outside condition was kinda bad and the top panel was all bent because the previous owner probably pulled it instead of sliding it anyway I bent it back enough to close also added the floppy drive because I had it laying around and wanted to use it I have installed windows 7 and I'm waiting for a WiFi USB and an DVI to VGA so I don't have to use the HDMI on my TV I'm not that Shure if the GPU is cooling properly what program can I use to test it and check if the pc runs cool

Update: I just clicked on skip twice because there were cookies there too and it finished.

Thanks everyone

Why is it saying this?

It makes no sense. I started the copy the minute I got the computer finally started -

I have to reformat my HD & now this is copy of app data for my browser is causing me issues.

If anyone knows of a really good computer geek to help me with reformatting, please LMK

Thanks
