Semi-OT: Home-movement is finished(of course most of packed boxes are not released in this moment, and many of them may not be released during this ~2 months period) and server is relocated to new location. lets hope next build will be on time.

Instead of making a long list of software that supports Windows 7, I'm making a list of software that doesn't work with Windows 7. There are four categories, the first is: Windows 10+ only, the second is: Windows 8+ only, the third is: Requires modification to work on Windows 7, and the fourth is: Unofficially works on Windows 7. There's likely plenty more software that isn't listed here, so let me know if any Windows 8+ only software gets any mods that lets it work on 7, or any new 8+ or only officially supports 8+ software comes out. Windows 10+ only: Games: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Death Stranding (DirectX 12 only, missing a few APIs, and has an OS block) Forza Horizon 4 (UWP) Horizon Zero Dawn (Same as Death Stranding, but has no OS block, or at least a older patch doesn't) Microsoft Flight Simulator Minecraft Bedrock (UWP) Sea of Thieves (Matchmaking backend comes from Microsoft Store) Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind Other: Facebook Messenger app iTunes Microsoft Office 2019 (Unofficially works on 8.x) NVIDIA Broadcast Oculus Setup/App Presonus StudioOne v5 (Might unofficially work on 7/8, but untested) Windows 8+ only: Game clients: EA Desktop Beta (Requires a 8.x dll, also, the installer has a block that blocks anything under 8.1, and application verifier does not work) Other: Kingston SSD Manager Requires modification to work on Windows 7: Games: Crysis Remastered (You should probably play this with DXVK. This happens without DXVK) Back 4 Blood Alpha (Requires xinput1_3.dll from C:\Windows\System32 to be copied into the same folder as the game .exe and renamed xinput1_4.dll) Mafia: Definitive Edition (Requires DXVK to run. More info here) Mafia II: Definitive Edition (Requires xinput1_3.dll from C:\Windows\System32 to be copied into the same folder as the game .exe and renamed xinput1_4.dll) Need For Speed Heat (Requires modifying the Origin launcher) Postal 4: No Regerts (Unreal Engine bug. It requires a fix that the developers of the game posted) Star Wars™: Squadrons (Same fix as Postal 4) System Shock Remastered (Same fix as Postal 4) Other: Discord (Intentionally breaks screenshare audio on anything below 10, fixed by using a browser or application verifier) Python 3.9.0 (https://msfn.org/board/topic/181979-another-program-drop-the-support-python-390/?tab=comments#comment-1189117) VMware Workstation 16 (Requires a custom installer and replacing vmware-vmx.exe) Unofficially works on Windows 7: Game clients: GOG Galaxy 2.0 (1.2 is superior and supports 7 officially) Games: Anthem Battlefield 4 (Says it requires Windows 8 on Steam, likely a mistake as Battlefield 3, 1, and V all officially support Windows 7. Though Windows 8.x is known to perform better than 7 in game, so that might be why) Boneworks Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection Crusader Kings III Death end re;Quest 2 Destroy All Humans! (Minimum OS is listed as 10, but in additional notes, it says it supports Windows 7 and 8.1. These guys forgot what minimum requirements mean) Detroit: Become Human (Is a Vulkan game, but Windows 10?. People say it actually works better on 7 than on 10) Disintegration (Was patched to fix issues with Windows 7, but minimum requirements still say Windows 10) Doom 64 Empire of Sin Fall Guys Madden NFL 21 Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Persona 4 Golden Phantasy Star Online 2 (According to Steam, it's DirectX 9.0c, but Windows 10+?) ReCore: Definitive Edition Rust (Game that used to support Windows XP, DirectX 9, DirectX 11, OpenGL, and Vulkan in early access, but now "requires" Windows 8.1 and only supports DirectX 11 and 12) State of Decay 2 Trials of Mana Watch Dogs: Legion Other: .NET Framework 4.8.1 Anki Audacity Blender 3 Calibre 6.0+ CorelDraw 2021 Cryptomator v1.6.x Dolphin v16393+ EA Desktop EasyBCD 2.4 Firefox latest Google Drive iTunes 12.11 iZotope RX 10 Kingston SSD Manager Kodi 21 Microsoft Teams Mindview 8 MKVToolNix 67 MotionController0669 Mozilla VPN MySQL MySQL Workbench 8 OBS OneDrive OneNote app OpenExpert Paintnet 5.0+ PCSX2 PerfectDisk Photoshop 2023 Presonus StudioOne v5 Process Monitor Python 3.9+ QMMP version 2 Rebelle 5 Steam TCPView 4.x x64 Ubisoft Connect Vidcoder 7 Visual Studio Code vmware player 16 VQProbe Windows Mixed Reality Xbox App Yuzu emu EA-2686+ ZBrush

Hi Everyone, Hi bigmuscle, Win 2004 is RTM no new function only bug fixes. I know that you doesn't release Glass Versions for non official Windows Builds. We need those stuff. Have you Alpha/Beta Version of Aero Glass? Symbols are online. Thank you

Man... I wish I've read this first than trying myself... https://github.com/tumagonx/xompie/ What about using wine source code there a lot can be transplanted.

The Good Old Youtube extension I linked to above has been recently updated to mitigate the broken yt search feature... (screenshot above was taken with New Moon 28; will look slightly different when visiting with Serpent 52 )

Good Old Youtube also does a brilliant job of re-instating the non-polymer youtube interface (which is more lenient towards computer resources, especially applicable on older hardware/OSes), but, as it is an id-less Web Extension not supported on Serpent 55/52, it doesn't install out-of-the-box ; but if you modify its manifest.json file to include a gecko-id, then it will install (and work) OK! { "name": "Good Old YouTube", "manifest_version": 2, "version": "1.15.0.1-unsigned", "description": "Switch back to classic YouTube interface!", "icons": { "96": "images/logo.svg" }, "background": { "scripts": [ "shared.js", "options/default-options.js", "logger.js", "reconstruct.js", "background.js" ] }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": [ "https://www.youtube.com/*" ], "css": [ "styles/hide-alert.css" ], "js": [ "shared.js", "content-script.js" ], "run_at": "document_start" } ], "options_ui": { "page": "options/options.html" }, "permissions": [ "https://www.youtube.com/*", "storage", "webRequest", "webRequestBlocking" ], "applications": { "gecko": { "id": "{482060de-6804-4020-a1b9-16dc012a3c93}" } } } (The id string is identical to the one generated when the extension is installed in FirefoxESR 52.9.x)

Awesome! That link worked and I downloaded with no problem. Thanks! The browser is working great, much better than Maxthon was. RainyShadow said I should install the "Old Youtube" extension, but I couldn't find it in the Add-ons of the browser.. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Nonetheless, Youtube did load and successfully play a music video. It was smooth for the most part with only a bit of chopping here and there.

I do not believe there is an issue. If you want monstrous and slow context menus, hold shift when right-clicking.

Thanks it worked after 2 hours i have all updates

i just wanna to everyone hello msfn forum! i hope we all get along :D Ps. I hate Windows 10

Hello from me, too. Hope to find what I am looking for here!

The game is DirectX 12, so vkd3d should be used instead The link I got vkd3d from earlier doesn't work anymore, and there's a newer version. @Jaguarek62, you can grab a new d3d12.dll and dxgi.dll from this below, and it might work https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases @win32 There's a game I'm wanting to run on Windows 7 with vkd3d, it doesn't launch because of missing functions. Maybe you could create a .dll with those functions for me?

Even though I have donated to BM, Windows doesn't need transparency to look good. It has its own transparency built in in different places, and that looks just great. I use several third-party themes I have found on virtual customs site, and they suit me just fine. I am an insider, and test each brand new build released each Wednesday, so I really can't just sit around and use an outdated version of Windows just to hold on to the transparency.

Just check the checkbox and save ini with Ctrl + S.

For quick update you can also use KUC update checker : http://windows-update-checker.com/ On 7 for example, only about 40 updates are needed to be up to date (if we use the convenience rollup and ignore those for satisfy WU) Very helpful.

You probably need to manually install SP1 first. I provided a Catalog link for SP1 in my first reply above. After you install SP1, please try Windows Update to see if it works before installing the SHA-2 updates.

Just using 360EE for a weeks, this is what I observed in comparison to maxthon running XP 360EE 12.x == Maxthon 5.3.x -> this chrome engine is unstable on heavy html5 sites, crashing alot 360EE 11.x == Maxthon 5.2.x -> rock solid engine, but unlike above this version make XP wait forever on "repair" wifi connection (@disconnect step) unless I kill the browser processes first (felt like it getting in the way) maxthon pros: has good multilanguage support cons: no TLS 1.3 (use windows networking), very limited configuration (has its own flags e.g mx://), has non-chrome addons/ui 360EE pros: TLS 1.3 support, a true chrome clone all around. cons: basically chinese only in the chrome-dominated internet, it's great to have modern chrome (if you have PAE and big RAM) not a dwindling down browser just like XP marketshare. nb: Opera 12 FTW!
