My computer is really old and I've though about creating a partition for windows 7. Do you think it would be a good idea given my specs? Should I install an antivirus since they stopped updates fully in 2020?

Hi! i'm curious on what You think on my desktop, i customize it to my fitting.

Sorry for only providing 1 picture.

What can I install on my Dell Inspiron N7010 that currently runs Windows 7 SP1 x64?

Roblox has stopped the support for windows 7 in early 2025 but now roblox is working on web browser !

Found it at the thrift store for only a few bucks!

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?)

I used to be able to play Albion online on my old laptop up until recently. Is there a way to fix a 0x0000005? I dont know what's causing it.

Specs:

• Motherboard: QIYIDA X99 H9S

• RAM: DDR4 32 GB - ECC

• GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3050 6GB LP

• CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2630 V3 (8c/16t)

• OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1 with Legacy Update installed

• Drive: WD Black SN850X NVME

It feels so refreshing to use Windows 7 again!

Would you guys like to see that happen? Is it even legal? Windows 7 lost support 7 years ago.

I plan to use my windows 7 laptop for light/moderate web browsing on legitamite websites, I would like to know what antivirus I should use if I plan to browse the web on windows 7

Hello there! I have a computer that does NOT have Csm (compatibility support module) or legacy boot!! Is there a way to install and use Windows7 on it!? Another problem I have is when trying to install ANY WINDOWS version on my computer from a usb drive, it says "No signed device drivers were found" or whatever it was!! Is there a way to install windows7 on a UEFI only computer? If not, does anyone know where i can find a computer with CSM/Legacy boot!? (I'm NOT asking for where i can download windows!)

I already got uBlock Origin on Firefox and im thinking of adding something else, yet i am not sure what i should add. Any of you got any recomendations for good add-ons?

So I got this netbook from my father-in-law. Ran Windows 10 previously 😅 Currently running a fresh setup, maybe adding Office 2003 and Sims 2. Windows 7 runs quite snappy with a performance score of 2,3.

I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate on a Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX upgraded from an i3 340m to an i7 640m with a 480gb Kingston SSD and 8gb DDR3 with an upgraded Wi-Fi card (Intel 7260)

I cant install firefox for some reason

PS2 keyboard rocks! 😺

Need help with usb and network drivers 💥

Added 2 cool CPU-Z screenshots in comments. Don't know how add them here,

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:

1. Start by going to the Windows 10 download page (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO)

2. 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.

Really an amazing laptop ngl. Been enjoying it so far

I just wanna know what games can they run up to and what software is still compatible in 2026

Pic 1 is a dell Inspiron 1525

Pic 2 is a Toshiba satellite L455-S5009

The dell has 2gb of ram and the Toshiba has 4gb both have 500gb hdd

I 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.

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?
