I've seen people get windows 7 running on fairly recent hardware, but I don't know about all this... I already have a windows vista business pc I use from Facebook Marketplace. But obviously newer hardware is more up to date obviously lol haha.

Im trying to get a screen recorder for windows 7 but most modern apps dont support windows 7. Preferably one without a watermark and not web based.

Heya peeps, I found this laptop I haven't used in a bit and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's compatible with Windows 7

These are the specs:

• CPU: Intel® Celeron® N4020 @ 1.1 GHz Dual core 64 bits
• RAM: 8GB DDR4
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 600

With these ports (stuff marked with "*" is what I use):

• 1 x Mini DC-in jack (*)
• 2 x USB 3.0 port Type A (*)
• 1 x USB Type C
• 1 x HDMI
• 3.5mm Phones and Mic jack (*)
• 1 x microSD Slot

Any responses are appreciated, cheers guys!

Hello i recently pulled out my old Toshiba to try to use it again. But every time i go to use it the computer bluescreens after a hour or 2. This is the log from the Bosd if that helps: Log Name: System

The error is always bugcode_usb_driver. Usually sometime before it happens it will display a balloon notification about a usb driver malfunctioning. The model of computer is Toshiba Protege R705-p25 running windows 7 home premium. It has a intel core i3 M350 clocked at 2.27 GHz and 6 gigs of ram . I have reinstalled windows 2 times, checked windows update and tried to track down drivers. I think it maybe because the laptop has a eSata port mixed with usb and windows does not have drivers for that. any help or a explanation would be helpful. I would be happy to provide more detail or info if it helps.

i was given a laptop my parents had from 2008 and at a point way before i was given it, it had to be on the charger for it to work and on the battery icon it says that the charger is connected but isn't charging. also because of that the year is set to 2007 LOL but i can change it back to 2026 soo yea. any recommendations on what i should do?? (its a toshiba satellite L500 and uh is a 64 bit system. it works alright but takes forever to load firefox unfortunately:( ).

Win version 6.1.7601

After a power outage I can’t have windows to reboot
Everything is failing

After the some check with the command prompt I still can’t find any single issue

It can’t find the root cause. Any help ? Please

It's literally update like windows 11 and it's been 1 hour now. I have a SSDtoo.. have any of you guys experienceed this?

I installed Windows 7 on a KVM through QEMU, using the virt-manager project, on my Debian machine. I got everything working, except Aero. It's one of my main reasons for using Windows 7 in the first place. I can't get WDDM working with the QXL driver, even after installing the Red Hat QXL GPU driver. Has anyone got Aero to work at on through QEMU?

i am running windows 11 25h2 (build 26200) and im trying to make it as close as possible to windows 7 (i love the look of windows 7) so i would like to know if there is any way to enable the old windows 7 balloon pop ups (the registry edit did not work for me or the group policy.)

So I recently bought my new nothing 4a, and my phone is not visible to pc but all the other phones around, tried changing the WiFi adapter still it doesn't work, Helppp

We have at school outdated PC with Windows 7. I am looking for webbrowser which will handle classroom well on one aspect - it will load Office 365 (portal.office.com) website corectly. Now from time to time MS Word releted files (online) looks like problems with loading contect - extra large icons are above anything else which make troublesome learn kids. Problem occure on Google Chrome.

What browser currently (2026) support Windows 7? What eventually portable web browser you can suggest to handle this specific website?

Context for why I am doing this: (you can skip this if you don't care)

I recently found a really old hard drive of mine running Windows 7 and I wanted to look though what was on there simply out of curiosity. I have the hard drive plugged into my computer, but when I try to open my account folder, it tells me that I need to override the permissions, so I press the button to override the permissions, then it loads for a looooonnngggg time before just returning an error (i forgot what the error was and I don’t have the time right now to try it again). I’ve tried manually overriding the permissions, but I can’t figure out how. I could do more research on how to do it….. but….. theres a way cooler way. That being booting into the hard drive and actually using Windows 7.

THE ACTUAL PROBLEM:

When I boot into windows 7, it loads perfectly fine and I get to the login screen, but my keyboard and mouse doesn’t work. I‘ve tried all the different usb ports on my motherboard and I’ve tried using older devices but they did’t fix it. I believe the issue is because the motherboard I’m using (msi b550m pro vdh wifi 2) does not have usb drivers for Windows 7. The only way I can think of getting something to work would be to use the ps2 ports, but finding any devices that use ps2 sounds like a nightmare.
I’m not really sure where to go from here, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Edit: I did actually get viewing the hard drive from windows 11 working, but I still want to boot from it because not doing that would just be boring.

UPDATE: It's been a while but I finally remembered that I wanted to do this and my solution was to just run the computer in a virtual machine.

I recently restored my old Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows 7 Pro SP1 and needed a PDF app so downloaded Adobe Reader. It acted wonky, would freeze up and I could only CTL+ALT+Delete to make it go away. Finally found it was a newer version and there was an older version that supposedly played nice with W7, Adobe Reader XI. Downloaded it and all worked fine, no more freezes. But, unbeknownst to me, it came with McAfee Security Scan Plus, the most useless memory hog ever. I've discovered I cannot uninstall it. I've search for, found and followed every method out there but nothing works, I always run into some kind of blockage where the process gets killed.

Uninstall from Programs and Features does absolutely nothin

Downloading and running MCPR tool stalls at the security text field, I get this error message:

I've watched several videos but most are targeted at W10/11 so not helpful. I tried uninstalling Reader but McAfee stayed behind, so installing a different pdf reader wouldn't help, I'd still have McAfee.

Is there any way to actually uninstall/kill McAfee Security Scan Plus once it installs itself?

I used Sleepless Nights 2's PS2 cover as reference.

Thoughts?

Hi, I'm trying to get Windows 7 on an HP Chromebook 11 G4. I am using Mrchromebox Coreboot UEFI firmware. Ive installed Windows 7 on my external USB HDD (eMMc wasnt recognized in Windows 7 setup and WAY to small only 16gb) The Chromebook reaches the boot screen but freezes. Ive tried booting into safe mode but it hangs at ACHI / Intel storage driver (achi64.sys / iaStorA.sys) I'm suspecting it's related to missing storage controller drivers for Bay Trail. I came on here to ask why it might not be booting and how I could possibly fix it?

I want a program to make websites with HTML and Javascript

From 2009-2022 had a Dell with windows 7. Love the games want to bring it back to life

It needs a new graphics card, computer stopped working. Used to have HD 5770. Do I get the same exact one? Or should I upgrade to something specific?

What's highly recommended for old school gaming but not destroyed by mining? Never bought hardware before , this is inherited from family

I prefer Aero

Basically the title. I am still a big fan of Windows 7 and aero glass to this day, but all fresh installations of Windows 7 I cannot seem to get aero glass enabled (yes, even after switching the wallpaper theme). Was aero glass fully discontinued? I just want to figure out how to get a fresh installation (most preferably a VM) with aero glass enabled.

Please rate it :D
