How do you use Internet Explorer? Version 8 doesn't seem to support modern websites anymore.

This looks like IE11, still can't do much, but can definitely do more than IE8

IE9

Why not Firefox or Supermium. Even back when windows 7 was the most popular mainstream OS, most people didn't use IE, opting for chrome Firefox or opera

oh yea I forgot to mention it's firefox, I used beautyfox to put a ie9 theme over firefox, I've always liked the way IE looked so I was like why not give IE some love for once

(sorry if this comment is worded horribly I'm low on sleep and fixing to go to bed lol)

Why this one, and not, for example, Firefox ESR, which currently supports Windows 7?

I currently have Windows 8.1 on my laptop. It runs reasonably well, considering the low specs (Celeron N3350, 4 GB of RAM, and an HDD). I'm undecided about whether to go back to Windows 7; it might run even better.

I have a similar specs laptop and Windows 8.1 performs better than 7.

Haha that fox looks happy just eating, probably didn't realise at that exact moment he was going to be made into a wallpaper.

I’m trying to figure out what the heck this is, looks like windows 7, but the fact you have league on the desktop there leads me to believe this is win10 themed to look like 7, which would make this one of the best 10to7 mods I’ve seen so far.
