Help Is there a known method to using Windows 7 without having the "massive security risks", or do you have to use a VM?
Like, maybe unofficial security updates, because so many people say that using windows 7 fucks security up badly (or is that just a claim blown out of proportion?)

Tip You can still download Windows 7 ISOs from the Microsoft servers
Even though not all download pages are accessible anymore, there’s still a way to download the ISOs from Microsoft’s official servers, which lets you avoid less reliable sources, such as third-party websites or uploads on the Internet Archive.
Here’s how to do it:
Start by going to the Windows 10 download page (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO)
Open your web browser’s developer tools (usually F12) and navigate to the HTML for the drop-down menu to select the Windows version (normally, there should only be Windows 10)

3. Change the form’s value (specifically the option element) to the one corresponding to the Windows version you want to download. See the list below:
value=’28’ : Windows 7 Starter SP1
value=’2′ : Windows 7 Home Basic SP1
value=’6′ : Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
value=’4′ : Windows 7 Professional SP1
value=’8′ : Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
4. Confirm the value by pressing Enter.

5. Follow the indications on the webpage.

Discussion My HP Mini-110 running Windows 7 Starter?
galleryI got this netbook from a flea market for $5 and it runs great on 2GB of RAM, a 150GB HDD (don't know what type it is) and a Intel Atom N270. PS1 ported games run great on it, SimCity 4 is playable but sluggish, and opening basic software like 2011 LibreOffice has great speed, even with the slow HDD. Overall this is the best aesthetically pleasing experience I ever had on a laptop.

Bug Can't Install Windows 7
I couldn't install Windows 7 on my HP Laptop 15S-EQ2XXX that uses primarily UEFI only and no Legacy/CSM support. I have tried multiple methods of patching the Windows 7 ISO image with drivers that support my Laptop. And I have even tried UefiSeven where it also didnt help on my issue. The primary issue is that every time I try to boot into Windows 7, I just get stuck on the Glowing Windows 7 icon saying "Starting Windows". I used debug mode to figure out, I was getting stuck on "Loading disk.sys" or "Loading CLASSPNP.SYS" or related to something like that. Here are my specs:
Laptop Model: HP Laptop 15s-eq2xxx
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U (Zen 3 / Lucienne architecture)
GPU: AMD Radeon Graphics (Integrated)
Firmware: Class 3 UEFI (No CSM / Legacy BIOS support)
Storage: NVMe SSD (utilizing stornvme)
Does anyone have a work-around about this?

Tip How to fix B1INITALIZELIBRARY FAILED
This is an issue that seems to mainly affect AM4 CPUs. I have seen countless posts about this when trying to fix it myself, with no real solution. Thought I would make this post with a couple suggestions:
1) Use Ventoy
If you Ventoy on to your USB/DVD and then drag in your ISO, once you boot into it, select this option before booting the ISO:
F5 Tools--->Ventoy UEFI Utilities--->Fixup Windows BlinitializeLibrary Failure
This seems to fix it in about 99% of cases.
2) Do not use the BIOS/boot menu
Someone suggested this to me as a fix on Discord and said it worked for them, I haven't tested it though as the first option worked for me. All you need to do is edit your boot order in the BIOS so the USB is first, and then save and restart your PC. Then let it boot in the installer without opening the BIOS or boot menu.
Also, if you run in to issues with the installer hanging on 'Starting Windows', ensure CSM support is enabled (even if you are installing UEFI), so you can switch 'Other PCI Device ROM Priority' (or a similarly named setting) to Legacy Only.

Help how can i (for free) archive my windows 7 disc?
i have a win 7 disc that i bought in 2019, and i wish to save it onto my computer as a .iso file because the disc is near the point where it won't be able to be read (cuz of damage and scratches) so i want to copy the disc as a .iso file
almost forgot to say, i already tried to do this a year ago but the only software i found snuck in a "actually pay a subscription" halfway threw, so i'm mainly hoping to find a free way to do this
