I can't use vista on my PC (9700K) so yeah..

I don't like 10 but because I have used it on and off often over the last 5 years I just have grown to accept it.

My OS timeline was: Born (2006) 2006 - 2012: Windows XP Home Edition (Old Sony Vaio desktop) 2012 - 2015: Windows 7 Ultimate (Family PC) + Windows 8.x Home (Mothers laptop) 2015 - Present: Windows 10 Pro on both + Windows 7 Pro Dual Boot on desktop

Would it be possible to backport Windows 7 drivers over to Vista? Most of my hardware is newer than Haswell (my PC age is from 2017) and my does support Windows 7 100%.

I don't really use Windows 8.x (tried 8.0 yesterday but AMD really doesn't want you to) but I did use it for a fair bit of time (2012 - 2015) on my laptop. Once Windows 7 goes away I will probably move to Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8.1 and then eventually Linux or Windows 10 afterwards.

Saw that post from 2017 about this issue, no one found a fix. I swear though, a few months ago I think it worked once, but never worked again. I am not sure. Seems like too much of playing around though.

I never really used Windows 8.0 so I installed it, and every driver worked fine except my AMD ones, which BSOD with the KSCF BSOD code. Every time they install it BSOD's then restarts, and the driver isn't installed. I have the RX 5700 XT and I tried Adrenalin 2020 Windows 7 drivers.

I grew up with Windows 7 so I may have some bias towards it, but for the past 5 years I have used Windows 10. I wasn't as literate in computers for most of that time until recently when I realized how much of an id*** I was. I can understand why some people like 10 and why some people don't. I don't like 10 and I would definitely use Windows 7, but it would take some courage to go back after 5 years of Windows 10. I have used 10 as my main OS since it was released (July 29 2015).

Windows Vista can't run on my hardware (i7 9700K, RX 5700XT) unless the timing dlls were fixed and someone backported the hell out of a driver. If it ran, I would try it. It doesn't run so I won't try it. Windows 7 works well for me but my problems nowadays are programs purposefully restricting their features, saying that they are "Windows 10 only features" even though I know they would work on Windows 8.1 or older. Windows 10 is just a mess, and I would consider using it if they brought back fluency / aero and added a switch between new start menu and the "classic" 7 style start menu, and a more unified telemetry ON or OFF button.

I have flip-flopped between Windows 7 and 10 lately trying to figure out, if I should use an OS for the joy of using it (Windows 7) or for the practicality of using it (Windows 10). Is this just personal preferenece or something? I'm not sure which one I should settle on. I love 7 but also don't mind 10, but 10 just doesn't have that click of fun that 7 and 8.1 have. 10 is just depressing. Windows is just less consumer fun, its more just cloud stuff. Linux and older Windows are your only options basically. To those who use 10, why? Why not?

We have Xfinity Gigabit with the stupid unlimited extra they have. Used to be $114.95 mo/ but we bought our own modem. Now we pay around $97/mo for 1000/40.

I do use a good amount of modern ones (Discord, Steam, Oculus) so some of them do run a little weird. Discord will probably just not recieve any more updates, but still work, just like the older clients for mobile. Steam will probably stop getting updates but keep working, but Oculus already screws you over. They let you install it and use it, but purposefully break certain things.

Hey, So my hardware is pretty modern (i7 9700K, Z370, 5700XT) and I am wondering if I would get a better experience out of Windows 7 with an older chipset or if just keeping it running with wufuc would work fine. Any suggestions?

I believe it spoofs the NT version from 6.0 to 6.1 to make certain programs think its on Windows 7, since the kernels are essentially the same.

still no difference

okay I did that and now im stuck here:

Hi, its been a few months but I am having an issue. I managed to get the UI installed and everything, but when booting up a VM I get this: I can tell it mentions that the vmx86.sys driver is out of date, but where am I supposed to update it?

So I have a RX 5700 XT and UHD 630. I patched my UHD 630 drivers and they work on Windows 7 without any test mode. But my problem is that AMD poorly codes the Windows 7 drivers. I get microstuttering with aero enabled, fading is nonexistant too. The Intel card though runs a lot better. So I was wondering if I can run my displays off of my UHD 630 for the better coded desktop experience, but render my games on my dGPU for better performance. Im using Windows 7 Professional SP1 fully updated to 2020-12, excluding telemetry updates.

Discord tells you to update to 10 in the screenshare menu (mentions it may not 100% function correctly)

Does software that run and work but specifically tell you to upgrade to Windows 10 eligable for this list?

Certain parts of the UI are annoying (Control Panel still has more than settings), I have to use 3rd party tweaks just to get the OS running well which is the largest part.

Almost every type of malware you can get is from human error or from being an administrator. By having common sense and requiring yourself to enter in an administrator's password to run an application, you are almost unpenetrable, except for the 0days and malware that litterally can break through those barriers.

There are a lot of people who aren't in for the operating system and just want to use their PC, so they develop a hate or disliking towards the ones that use their OS for the fun of it.

I am essentially the same way. I love Linux and I think it will get big, but in my case, I just don't prefer anything that it offers. Windows 7 and 8.1 just worked when installed and are compatibile on great amounts of hardware.

So after installing all the updates manually it now BSOD's on start without any patches with a STOP error about CSRSS isn't secure anymore.
