I Got Windows 7 in 2022.

[xcescxa]

It works like a charm, no BSOD,
somehow it increased my download speed.
Before it was like 20, now its 34mbps.

I am using usb 3.0, so i did have to do some
boot.wim, and install.wim modifications
for my keyboard and mouse to work.

Soundcard works more now than it was
on windows 10, Obviously, sounds
better too.

Only Problem i found is that i have to
use a vpn sometimes. On certain sites
like Tidal Web player, to play music.

Gpu is 4 degrees cooler. Cpu usage 0%
I think i have the earliest version?

Ignore my hard disk.

Given that you have SP1 I'd say no.

Why a VPN? That usually means you got IP-banned.

And what sound card do you have? I have a Sound Blaster ZXR on another PC and it works fine with Windows 10.

Why a VPN? That usually means you got IP-banned.

Websites/services can block whatever they want to, chances are they blocked the browser.

 

[RJARRRPCGP]

chances are they blocked the browser.

Usually, a VPN is to get around an IP address ban. I'm not sure how the VPN is reporting things so it looks like a different whatever. Can they be used to report another Windows version in the UA string?

Its a workaround.
Its because of the browser,
it says im not using the newest one, when i am.

Without using modded drivers
to get it to work. This is designed
for Windows XP - Windows 7.
Actually keeps settings when
i reboot. Instead of using a modded
driver which the person doesnt
know what they are doing.
Cuz my "What you hear"
Was broken on 10
but not here anymore.

Man I miss Windows 7 aero. I also fiddled around with MacOS and various Linux distro skin packs to spice things up. Yum!

 

[Hachi_Roku256563]

But Why tho
you have a ryzen so its probably slower
your on a unsecured os programs are going to stop working
also like if Windows 10 has bsods then you did somthing wrong

 

[xcescxa]

Example for the vpn.
On tidal, it shows this,
when im not using a
vpn.

Its unplayable. Using the
vpn it fixes this.

Get out of here if your just
going to shitpost.

Also not one program hasnt
... worked, so far. So.

 

[Hachi_Roku256563]

i mean like as far as im aware
windows 7 still has problems with ryzen in terms of scheduling that never got fixed
if thats been fixed i take that back
but still raises the question of why
Security is a real thing that would be a concern
programs will stop supporting the OS

i know but im talking long terms
Im sorry if it seems like im being a annyoance but these are genuine questions

Ok Security isnt a problem for me, i dont download random
freeware, or such, and i dont use random browsers.
Nor do i use youtube tutorials at all, or website tutorials at all that most likely
mislead you into downloading something contagious.
Firefox is the king. If they do stop i know a workaround.

That error message looks like firewall-style blocking on their end. Also, without a ton of updates, fundamental internet services are broken, because of missing standards revisions for various things, especially before Windows 8. Some web sites also falsely think outdated browser, if using Pale Moon or one forked off of Pale Moon, such as My Pal. You may get nothing more than an error message about being unable to connect, if certificates are missing.

You are mistaken. FYI, at least for my Ryzen 2600X win7 is at least 10% faster in CPU sensitive games than win10.

Fair enough
XP got 17 years of support from firefox
based on that you got like 6 more years of support for win 7
But like RIP modern games lol with dumb no DX12

Possibly. Pale moon is rubish. Its worse than firefox,
in the audio quality aspect. Also ive only done
3 updates, and they are only security ones.

You need a lot more, all the way from the early-2010s to 2020!

 

[xcescxa]

Dont need them.
Only installing updates
or runtimes and such if an
application requires it.

I was originally going to do
vista, because i found an old
core 2 duo laptop i had for
years, and wondered what
it would be like on new hardware
but i dont have time to fiddle
with vista, and mess with things.

Yes one WD Gold 1TB for OS boot, this it will change your stars.

 

[Emilychi]

I still dont get it.

Why all the hassle with workarounds in some Apps, when they become unsupported and the less security with possible infections.
Why do you hold onto this?
Like seriously, your hardware seems fine to run anything else.
If you had like an FX CPU i would have gotten it.

At this point you kinda want to provocate people with it, so why.
The other Thread got locked already.

No, that's not usually why people use VPN's.

I do feel also fearless about Security issues, do not even use Antivirus, or Windows defender, I am the watchdog of my OS.
But there is a price to pay for everything, and I did pay.
You may not expect regular consumers, those once use W7 Home, them to understand your own IT strategy and decisions.

I still dont get it.

You are very young...
Firefox it might be in denial to connect at a specific website, the workaround was about this tiny restriction.
I am using Firefox 91.6.0esr (64bit).
I also found the workaround to activate bookmarks and passwords backup and restoration from a file.

The life with Win 7 Pro or higher this is a happy one, even at 2022.

My condolences. Ryzen on Windows 7... good God you people. You can't just stop desecrating the corpse of this OS can you. Do you seriously think a 3600X can't handle Windows 10/11?

Have fun with future hardware and drivers. NVIDIA has already stopped caring about Windows 7 and other companies will follow suit later this year. But if you have a fetish for arbitrary workarounds and hate change by remaining on stone age operating systems, you do you.

I sure know my 5900X would murder me if I tried slapping Windows 7 on it.

 

[looniam]

a little disappointed you didn't do vista, took me three days and a lot of coffee to whip that into shape - on contemporary hardware.

still cheers for beating software into submission.

 

[docnorth]

At least for my win 7 pro SP1 should be the latest version.

And I guess that's the point - He's doing him like it is for you to do you.
Seriously.

I get that his posts do sound like a hate-rant about Win 10 and 11 to many of you but I also can't claim any innocence about that, done it myself TBH. I switched to Linux back when Win 10 first came out because I don't like what's in it and will not have either 10 or 11 on this machine but I still have Win 7 I do run on it sometimes.
I also don't have the latest cards or just hardware in general so that's not a problem here or do I game much if at all - That being another non-issue for me.

And yes this is a Ryzen based build that's doing just fine with either Linux or Win 7, at least according to my needs and that's good enough.

If the OP wants Win 7, I'm good with it since in the end it doesn't affect a damn thing for me and what others choose to use does exactly the same as well regardless of OS used.
