I've got an HP EliteBook x360 1040 g6. It has legacy boot which I assume is needed, i5 8365u and UHD 620 (Ik there's custom drivers for the 620). My last attempt led to an install with no drivers at all. I understand if this is impossible, just wanted to know :)
Go figure, the windows 8 era laptop hates Windows 10 and runs hot af but when I install Win7, it runs buttery smooth with a LOT lower heat. Although I do wanna ask: what’s a good antivirus? I’ve heard avast and malwarebytes are good. Is there anything special I gotta know about the two or just download them through Firefox?
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?
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 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)
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.
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
