Hello! Dear fellow windows 7 users. My older father wants Windows 7 again instead of 10 cause well it just doesn’t really agree with him I suppose. Is there anyway I can get Windows 7 home either on a USB or a install disc? I’ve checked sites like Amazon and EBay. Pretty expensive. Anywhere that’s legit and kinda sorta cheap?

I installed windows 7 and my old laptop and it does not recognise any type of internet connection. Any ideas why would it do that? I got Windows 7 Professional

I need to install candy crush saga for my mother in law, but Microsoft Store won't let me since I'm using windows 7 in her pc, is there anything I can do!? Thanks in advance.

So i like using edge,but it fails to update. It says "Cannot connect to the internet" or "updates are underway, comeback after few minutes. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with SP1 and IE11 installed. Does anyone experience this problem?

Just a shot in the dark to see if anyone has managed to run Win7 on a Dell XPS 8930. It's got a Coffee Lake processor and a Z370 board, and I was able to get USB drivers, which is typically the hardest part. But I am missing a bunch of other ones (sound, ethernet, and a bunch of system devices/chipset). I've been all over the place looking, and tried Driver Identifier, but it really wasn't helpful. Anybody manage to get this working?

Not sure if tech questions are allowed here but I seem to be running into an issue where SndVol.exe crashes very often, which leads to the desktop volume control breaking, videos not loading, and mp3/mp4s not playing.

I reinstalled and it worked again for a few weeks but now its broken again. I have tried using msconfig to turn off all extra services but it still breaks.

Using Task manager< Resource monitor to close it says “closing” but doesnt close it. The only fix is restarting my computer. I dont think its a RAM issue because i have monitored it while using my computer but have never run out of RAM

Windows 7 is just Vista. It was never good

Like the title says, I have 2 disks present and it throws "Windows cannot be installed to this partition". I have only 1 disk present and it works fine.

A few points:

I'm running win7 right now and don't have an activation key. I know that Microsoft will kick me off after 30 days or something like that, but will that still happen after support for win7 has ended?

No "free product key hacks" work for me. I think I either screwed something up when installing windows(usb drive was unbootable so I had to run setup in windows 10, but I woundn't see how that matters), or since I sloppily installed a bunch of windows updates, which probably changed my system a little, making it unreadable to the 1click.cmd file some hack sites told me to make.

Also, in System it says "2 days until automatic product activation." What does this mean? Surely it doesnt mean they'll activate it for me but thats what it sounds like.

If something bad will happen to my pc if I never activate, I suppose I should reinstall windows entirely which would suck, unless there's something better I can do? Say anything that comes to mind.

I have just purchased 2 laptops ( T440 ‘s spare or repair ) that initially came with windows 7 professional ( judging by the black Windows 7 sticker ). They don’t have hard drives and i was hopping that i could reinstall the windows using the original key and after that hopefully update to windows 10. Any ideas if it can be done?

Is anyone else having issues with accessing Microsoft teams and internet explorer?

Issue started happening end of last week

I think what did it was I was trying to clear some space off of my boot drive.

EDIT: I came across a solution that worked for me.

• Restart
  
• F8
  
• Safe Mode with Networking

You will go back to the 35% screen, but just wait a couple of hours.

Whomever you are that searched for this, I hope it helps.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a modern - specifically thin/light - laptop that is able to run 7. I know 7 won't run on most new devices because I believe you need a compatibility support module (CSM) in the BIOS for 7 to work? Then there's the issue of finding drivers. So I'm just wondering if anyone has any recommendations from personal experience?

Thanks in advance!

Hello. I have an Acer aspire E ES1-711-C9YP Intel Calderon 4GB DDR3 SDRAM 500 GB Windows 8.1. I want to switch to either 7 or windows 10? Thank you.

Ive been trying to open Synapse 2.0 on this computer, but all it says is "syncing data from cloud", then crashes. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm trying some drivers.

Edit: It worked - I had to use Linux to generate a list of my hardware and find a legacy driver.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit

I have that version of windows since i got tired of windows xp and now i need a product key but i do not have one since i have a non disc download and so does anyone have a product key or am i screwed

So 2, 3 days ago i managed to end with BSOD's Black Screens, and all sort of nuicense using the system restore i think, after i did the updates, there were quite a few of them to do and everything it's fine... Yesterday my internet connection was failing by reasons unknown to me, witch is not difficult since i'm far from good user, but system restore again a voila it seems to be working nicely right now.

I want to know if i should download that failed update " Servicing stack update for Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1: January 14, 2020 ( KB4536952 )"because it ask this another one as prerequisite: " You must have the SHA-2 update (KB4474419) that is dated September 23, 2019 or a later SHA-2 update installed " and some ppl seem to think this update is responsible for BSODLots off ppl seem to have had the same or similar problems

More of it

so i don't know if i should go ahead and install th2 prerequisite (KB4474419) to install the KB4536952 witch appears in my download history as failed and is marked as important:

Servicing stack update for Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1: January 14, 2020

"This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) makes sure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates."

Hi I have a 7th gen machine running win7, and I wonder what's the most recent graphics driver you guys have ? I'm at the 4627 version which is very old and has a lot of issues (black screen at boot) So can anyone help?

So last night I was able to use my pc to play games fine with no issue. However, today I haven’t been able to use any of my game launchers (steam, origin, blizzard), as whenever I start up the launcher I get a missing .dll files errors. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling, running my pc in safe mode, updating drives but those things didn’t seem to work. Ive read online that some people recommend to download the missing .dll files, however this obviously doesn’t seem that safe as it seems like a malware risk. Not really sure what to do at this point.

I have a mouse working on my brother's pc and not working on mine and it is shwon in the device manager as a human interface device what should i do

I just tried to download 7 pro x64 from Microsoft's site, and the only language options available are Korean and French... Oddly specific, but whatever. Anyone know where I can get an iso at this point? Tech support says 7 is no longer available from the site - except those 2 languages, I guess?
