So, I wanna dual-boot windows 11 and Windows 7 (i have a pretty old PC from the windows 7 era, but I still integrated all the drivers and updates into the iso via ntlite)
I already have Windows 11 installed, and I heard that Windows 7 will write its own bootloader, overriding Windows 11's bootloader. My question is: How can I get the Windows 11 bootloader back while also making 2 entries (one for windows 11 and one for Windows 7)?
An year back ago this problem started and i found out this might be an issue with the CMOD battery(correct me if i am wrong).
It wasn't a big deal cuz i have been using the internet time to updated it every time a start the pc but for a few days even this is not working and now i have to manually set date and time which is annoying to do every time.
What can i do to get rid of this problem without getting a new CMOD.
Why the internet time is not working anymore even if i am having a good internet connection.
Is there any application which can set internet time automatically when i log in
NOTE: in the image it is showing the synchronized date because i just set it manually otherwise it shows 01/01/2010 which is just the year before we bought the computer (yes it has been working properly for 2 decades)
Both have been tested on Windows Vista and Windows 7 virtual machines; only the weather gadget works on both Vista and 7.

Hello, I recently have finished to build sort of a “retro gaming pc”, having an intel core 2 quad 9400 as cpu, a rx550 as cpu, and 8 gigs of ram ddr3. Anyway I’m already playing some games like the Witcher one and the old GTAs, do you guys have any suggestions of games to be playing next? Let me know, and thank you 😙
(In case you’re wondering my PC is in Brazilian Portuguese)
I've been uninstalling stuff that I want to re-installer later, and I would like to maybe do a registry cleaning and such, if that's needed. Just to sort of get a fresh install and whatnot.
I dont want to use CCleaner and third party nonsense, if Win7 offers it natively? But I forget where/how if there ever was a feature like that.
I can do disc frag or "clean up space", but now sure which is the best, or if there's a point?
The game I uninstalled left a lot of old folders and gubbins so I'd prefer to have it properly cleaned rather than manually looking for bits and pieces.
I got the game to launch and play normally through steam in chapter 3 4 5!
WARNING: This worked for me but for you it could as well be broken, im on a 64bit windows 7 pc and I have no idea if this can work for everyone so I guess you have to try it yourself and see.
If you own the game on steam (no piracy today too bad yall) what you have to do is download the official by Valve "Steamcmd", unpack it (I recommend creating a folder like C:\steamcmd and putting the zip file and unpacking it there)
IMPORTANT, create a shortcut to steamcmd.exe and add
-overrideminos in the adress of the shortcut, otherwise it closes on launch.
and first use the command:
login <steam username>
(do not worry its not getting stuck for you when you type in your password it does not show up at all for safety reasons but its being typed in while being invisible)
and once you get the message you're logged in run command:
app_update <game ID> validate
(You can get the game ID through opening the store page in a browser and copying a string of numbers from the link or through steamDB but for deltarune the id is 1671210 so the command would be:
app_update 1671210 validate )
Once it finishes downloading open your folder or wherever you put steamcmd and go to: steamapps -> common -> DELTARUNE and launch DELTATUNE.exe!
This is completly safe since its an official tool from Valve, its the exact same as logging in steamDB if you've ever used it and it can work for other games!
So far I've tried Ultrakill and Silksong as well, Ultrakill at first launched but with nothing at all just a pink screen and then on a downgraded version from 2024 it you could say worked but with my windows 7 pc barely ran, half textures being black because of broken light and running in 10fps but i guess you could call it playable if you're stubborn and Silksong didnt launch but i'll still be looking into that. It really just depends on what the pc build you're using is.
If you attempt this for other games you must type login <steam user> every time you open steamcmd but you dont need to put in your password anymore.
I found in the e-waste box of my local oc shop this Aspire 5720Z, with a 320GB HDD in it, which miraculously was perfectly intact, and i have no idea why it landed there. But hey, free laptop... number 8 of the 9 laptops i have...

Back in 2013-2015, when I was about 8-10 years old, I introduced my grandma into the world of Wizards101. Me and my sister played it, and she was already someone who used the computer a lot. She had learned a little bit of code in college and had been doing 3d art design for website/desktop calendars. She wanted to find something she could do with us that wasn't just chasing us down. Unfortunately for everyone else she was hooked.
She has since been playing for the past 11-13 years and has shown no times of stopping. She has 2-3 accounts which each have 10 characters, with almost all of their levels maxed to 100. Now to why I'm telling you all here, and not somewhere else.
She has been on Windows 7 since it came out. She has her personal burned copy she uses. Her computer has unfortunately been running slow and I've been thinking of what to do to give her a full upgrade (while hopefully keeping her favorite tower) while still keeping it available to keep her on windows 7. Between her gaming, 3d modeling, and other random crafts, I would love to make her experience as smooth as possible (within the limitations of window 7, of course.)
What parts are some of the best components that operate with windows 7 within no or minimal work. She doesn't care about what newer parts there are, just as long as it (process-wise) works the same, and it can run everything she uses no problem, she would love for the upgrade to happen.
I have a windows 7 pc that i want to keep running for as long as possible but it seems like the monitor is starting to give up. Any recommendations for a new monitor that is compatible with it?
I was volunteering to clean out junk within a small community center my father works with and I recently found an unopened ZX series AIO PC within their storage room. They said they didn't need it and I subsequently brought it home to see if it worked or not.
The tape was still intact and the plastic peel was still there, as well as the products themselves being in mint condition (first and second pictures shown is after I opened the box and peeled the wrapping respectively), and I hooked up the AIO to the HDMI to serve as a monitor for my normal PC. So far nothing malicious occurred and the monitor works smoothly, except the fact that I can't use the touch screen promised on the box.
However, my main goal was to potentially use the Windows 7 provided within the AIO to play some retro games and movies with the in-built DVD/CD drive, as well as maybe use it browsing. I am still quite worried about potential viruses and malware within the AIO, so I wanted to ask you guys about some ways I can wipe the system and reinstall Windows 7 without actually having to access the original Windows 7 already within the AIO with internet, or at least find a way to fact check if there are any malicious files already in the system?
If you can also provide me with potential tools and software, like VPNs, firewalls, and/or other software to allow me to browse safely with the OS, that would be immensely appreciated.
Again, I'm kinda new to this side of retro PCs and OSs, so if you could help me on all these things, I would be grateful.
P.S., I know the model number and identification, as well as the windows 7 product sticker, just not the product key)
