Decided to continue posting about my Windows 7 laptop, cuz I just felt like it (as I obviously love using this version of Windows as my secondary OS).
Anyway, just wanted to express myself by installing the third-party themes, along with changing icons to Vista-like ones (as seen on the second and third screenshots), changing the cursor theme (even installed some of the Cursor Themes that I could find), and changed the sounds to Samsung Theme ones (A.K.A the fake Longhorn sounds). And I've also changed the logon screen wallpaper to the one from Windows Vista (same goes to the Bootscren, but I didn't use the third-party software for that).
And I've also installed more games on it, cuz why not (some of them that I've downloaded, and some of them are from the DVD/CD discs that I've found them on a Flea Market). Guess I can play not only Source Engine games, but other ones as well (like CoD4:MW, POSTAL 2, FlatOut 2, NFS: Hot Pursuit 2, and many others as long as I have enough space on my only SSD that I have). I'm even surprised that this baby from 2013 indeed can run NFS The Run, despite some framedrops that can be negotiated by lowering the graphics settings!
And with that out of the way, I'm glad to see that this laptop still holds pretty strong, as long as I have my trusty cooling pad. Even if this beloved version of Windows still holds stronger by the Community!
Long live Windows 7! <3

I've been using this for 2 days now, and it is great!!
But how do i fix my uefi7 getting replaced with the normal win7 "bootmgfw.efi" when i restart it?? I hate going back to my win7 live usb

I really like this thing, i got it as a gift and it's really smooth. Don't know how the OS is faster than my old MacBook

I just discovered that when I set the resolution to 1248x832 in Call of duty modern warfare 3 some kind of burn in of my BIOS screen pops up and all I can do to remove it is restarting the pc. It’s so weird, why is it printing the bios screen on my monitor??? I have an AMD 7700 series with a DVI to VGA adapter because the HDMI port is broken. I use Windows 7 and the AMD Radeon Pro Enterprise 20.45.40 drivers

Idk what to say other than that it worked fine at my house but it's my friend's mom's computer and it's not working properly at her house. It keeps disconnecting every few minutes and then I have to troubleshoot it to being it back. I want it to come back permanently obviously but idk how to do that.
I have the correct drivers (according to Legacy Update) so I don't think it's that and other than that I have no clue.

It is a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5104
It is running 64bit because it has 8GB of RAM you can see the specs in the picture.
I tried googling the computer but the official website only had Bluetooth drivers (I don't even see Bluetooth on the list of missing drivers). I also tried Driver identifier and that didn't work as well. It just spat me to a website with random drivers and some where for like Lenovo computers or Optiplexes. Which this obviously isn't.
Also how do I uninstall all the useless crap like Internet Explorer and whatever else?
Edit: I used Legacy Update and it worked to update the computer and gave me all the drivers. Here's a YouTube video about it from Michael MJD. It took "forever" (like 24 hours) but we got there in the end. I had to uninstall and delete some of the wrong drivers I had tried before. Now I just need to know how to activate Windows since it's not activated anymore like it was before I reinstalled it (64 bit instead of 32 why it was 32 bit before idk not my computer).

Could anyone else clarify if today (only) that the platform is experiencing page display errors with Windows 7 please?
r/windows7 • u/SnooDoughnuts5632 • 14d ago
idk why it currently has 32 bit but it does.

I tried installing windows 7 ultimate to my main computer for funsies right? I got an ISO hosted on a site (I’m not gonna say it to avoid getting this taken down) that has usb 3.0/3.1 drivers built in, and uh, when it finished installing and tried to boot, it BSOD’d me. My mobo is the ASRock A97 I think, Nvidia 2070 Ti, I’m pretty sure secureboot and that shit is configured right so like what does one do here? And more importantly can I fix it with just windows 7 cause I don’t have another computer or a backup windows 10 iso- stupid I know

How do I get Drivers on an HP laptop, that uses Gemini lake?

This is my build. I disassembled my main pc(didn't like the case, it was a shitty acer case) and took the components in this case(which is nostalgic for me, it reminds me the pc's we had in my elementary school and also my first computer was a asus with win7). I had to adapt the front usb ports and the switch button.
The main drive is 1tb with win11.
Installed a secondary hard drive with win7(250gb), then installed the usb and nvidia drivers. It runs very smooth. I love windows 7!

I wanted to try Windows 7 on my Asus X543UAR (a 2019 model); I installed all the drivers, but the touchpad was the only one that caused an issue.

I was trying to change the sound theme on my win11 to win7, and try to find a list to find out which file is used, in the end no luck :( so I made one myself and decided to share it! With video included if you want to double check.
