    Is using an OS for the feeling of using it or for the practicality of using it? Why do / don't you use Windows 10?

    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).

    Window 10 is good or not?

    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?

    How to get best Windows 7 experience?

    It really depends on the software you are using. If you are running any of the current, always-online type software programs, you are eventually going to run into the situation where the software updates and will cease to function. And that will have more impact on your experience than anything to do with your hardware.

    I can't speak on wufuc. I am in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp, which means not installing Windows or driver updates unless required.

    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.

    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:

    image.png.a1fb4e43f7ad50640c800b0b3a87ae59.png

    I can tell it mentions that the vmx86.sys driver is out of date, but where am I supposed to update it?

    Render games on dGPU?

    in Windows 7

    Posted

    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.

    You don't need security updates to stay secure. Just do not download random s*** from the internet. Also having secondary laptop for internet banking is not a bad idea. Windows Vista/7/8 will be usable as long as software do support them.. (extended kernel is saving vista right now) and btw vista is getting server 2008 esu security patches ;) 

    I guess if you're the president of the usa then don't use windows xp?

    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.

    also when I was browsing intel driver support, I found this:

    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.

    Yes, @AeroSeeker, I agree with you that Linux is in many ways better than Windows 10, but one of the things I love about earlier Windows versions is that the UI was great (for example, Windows Vista's Aero UI and taskbar), but sadly, tweaking Linux to make it look just like a Windows Vista clone is impossible. I'm saying this because I'm not a fan on the Gnome, Mate, XFCE, LXDE etc.etc. themes in Linux.

    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.
