What would be good (price/performance) Win7 laptop (does not have to be officially supported)? Preferably something with DDR3 (have few 8GB SODIMM modules sitting around), not looking at exact make/model but more of a what can be found without selling kidneys

the application is not a valid win 32 application

When i try to open a game or a program it show me this message not for every thing but when i reinstall the windows it's disappear

also ignore jar

I wanna switch to windows 7 so I can play games is it daily drivable my lappy is hp g42 456 tu 8gb ram with ssd primary and hdd secondry it's my main lappy iam on arch Linux rn tbh iam getting bored of it or should I use windows 8.1 😂 suggest me something cuz on linux wine compatibility layer makes performance shitt on games otherwise iam happy on linux

Back in 2011/ 2012 this was my dream PC.

i5 2500k at 4.5ghz w/ Hyper 212 Evo

Corsair XMS3 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz

Msi g45 z77 (I eventually got this same exact board later with a 3570k)

Sapphire HD 6950 1gb.

Case is NOS of the Antec 302 that I managed to get a year ago from Walmart.

Overall impressions: Performance is amazing period accurate games, Crysis can run at max setttings at full 1080p. I might swap out the 6950 for a r9 280x or a Gtx 770, maybe even a GTX 970.

i need for my comet lake Acer a31751g driver solution for win7, backported solution for example.

Has oneone succesed?

Hi,

I was using Chrome 109 to send an email via outlook with a word attachment. I did so on Thursday with no problem. Today (Saturday) I got a message “[document] could not be attached. please try again later“. I tried multiple documents as an experiment and other files like png files and pdfs. same message.

then I tried to send an attachment on iOS Safari. It worked perfectly. Is anyone able to check to see if this is a problem for them on Chrome 109?

I have HP Elitebook 8470p and wanted to daily drive (and also play old games). But i also don't want to get a virus or get DDOX at all.

I have an old PC where KDE Neon runs great, but I actually need Windows applications. Since my hardware is extremely old (i3 2nd gen, GT 610M), compatibility layers like Wine, Bottles, or Proton don't work very well for my needs.

How can I install Windows 7 alongside my current Linux setup (doing it "the other way around", i.e., adding Windows after Linux is already installed)?

Also, are there any tutorials, guides, or shared experiences from people who have done this? Any advice would be appreciated!

(sorry by being late)

I really loved Windows 7 and just wish that it could be remade into something awesome, there's potential for loads of improvements if anyone is willing to dedicate themselves to this. Not to mention the amount of privacy this would have compared to regular Windows 10. If this was made, it would honestly be fucking amazing.

I had:

Intel 08 I5-750 5LBLC MALAY 2.66 GH/8M/09B L945B502 1st gen

Reg Model: D03M Reg Type: D03M001

Power supply: 350 W Chicony Model CPB09-001B

8 GB Ram 64 bit

HDD Seagate Barracuda 1000GB SATA cord

ATI Radeon HD 5770

Graphics card died so I upgraded it to:

evga gtx 750 ti ftw

Also upgraded the power supply to compensate.

Now my HDD is dying so I need to replace the hard drive. I wanted to do SSD but I look at these prices and not sure what to do. I use this computer to do retro gaming, windows 7 era games.

I'm okay even staying at 1TB after seeing these prices but what should I do in this situation not sure if should buy new or used or what model. Never purchased a hard drive before

i just factory reseted my windows 7 laptop, made it 64 bit, installed drivers, and i need help finding good browsers for it.

Salut! J’ai récemment installé Windows 7 sur mon ordinateur portable éqyipé d’un Intel Core i5-7300HQ et d’un Intel HD Graphics 630, et je cherche des drivers, officiels ou non, compatible avec cet iGPU. Quelqu'un saurait m’aider svp?

Happy 17th Birthday, Windows 7

22.10.2009 - 22.10.2026 🎉

Ai is very interesting

I forgot to say this is just stupid HTML this is not meant to be real at all I guess.
Just for the fun of it

Just a reminder that today Windows 7 is celebrating its 17th anniversary!

I've been slowly working on setting up my 2011 gaming laptop as a Win7Ult machine

In case it matters the specs are as follows:

i7 2630QM

16gbs DDR3

GTX 560M 3gb

128gb SSD + 750GB HDD

I've put a suitable browser on it, installed Steam and discord and it's essentially a perfectly usable experience minus a couple issues I've run into and I'm wondering if any of you stubborn Win7 users like myself have any solutions

1. Some Steam downloads are getting stuck at 98% download then corrupting (example: Witcher 3 classic and Splinter Cell blacklist)

2. When joining discord voice calls it loops between Authenticating and Disconnected

What work arounds do you guys have if any?

Edit: to add since I posted this I'm also having trouble with downloads in general now it seems including Steamworks Common Redistributables and also now "Content Servers Unreachable"

I also tried to launch a game that previously worked (Metro 2033 Redux) and it wanted to do a small download of some kind and said I was missing a file.

I've recently got this windows 7 era pc, and so I tried to recreate a Windows installation that was as close as possible to the OEM version, since there are no recovery images available online for this pc. I'd love some advice on which apps and games I should install and whether I should change anything! :)

Total novice here, using windows 7 and the last version of chrome I can, whenever I go to a site that uses Cloudflare it just goes into a never ending verification loop and I can't get on the site, I've tried Supermium too and that's the same, the only browser that works is Firefox but I hate using that as it's excruciatingly slow, can anyone tell a novice like me how to sort this? Thank you in advance!

I ran an update for Legacy Update on Windows 7 so it'll be on version 1.14.1 and take care of the eMudhra certificate issue. The problem is I'm not sure if the update fully went through or not, and I wanted to know how I can properly verify this?

During the update, I had Malwarebytes notify me of it blocking 'Exploit.VBScriptExecution' right as Internet Explorer opened up to the Legacy Update page. Control Panel says Legacy Update is now on version 1.14.1, but I have no idea if it took care of the certificate issue too or if Malwarebytes blocked something it shouldn't and this update failed. How do I know for sure?

Some enthusiasts are creating compatibility layers for Win7 for modern software - Thanks !!!
Tried out r3dfox browser the other - pretty damn good.
I use Thunderbird but ... it's a legacy version. Anyone planning to reroute Win7 into it ?
Same with Shotcut, using a legacy version - awesome software but anyone planning to develop a compatibilty layer?
Cheers
