with the extended esu updates ending soon and no extension being made will windows 7 still be usable beyond 2023? with as much as ive seen drivers slowly disappear from compatibility and all the windows 10-11 nag screens I just don't know so my question is will it still be usable in 2023-beyond? (part of the state of windows project)

hello frankhi! and welcome to the forum! we hope you enjoy your stay

so the windows update website is working now? that will be so much better for downloading updates without having to manually install every update one at a time now-legacyfan

I'm pretty new to using arch based linux versions and was wondering if games would run good on it I know linux is designed to be good at gaming I just have never tried it on manjero does anyone know if it will work? if anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated-legacyfan

I guess the best approach to using windows 7 would be not visiting bad websites and using a good antivirus (and keeping windows up to date

it would be nice if @XPerceniol would come back we really need him here but he's made up his mind on what he wants to do and I aaccept that his health should come first

bye @msfntor! and I hope to.see you soon on here someday-legacyfan

here is a list of all the updates in looking for http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/updates.html this is from helpwithwindows.com

I'm also looking for Update for Windows XP x64 Edition (KB930627)

here is the first one I'm looking for Update for Windows XP (KB930916) but in x64 version

this Is big news for windows 7 fans! if updates get extended again to 2026 that would mean it would have until 2027 to get updates that would be a big change-legacyfan

Microsoft ended support for its Windows 7 operating system in 2020 Microsoft's initial plan was to limit extended support to three years after support ended, but it appears that the company could extend support by another three years, making it six years in total. Our colleagues over at Deskmodder report that the July security updates KB5015861 and KB5015862 include the required ESU licenses and keys to extend support beyond the first three years. The second extension would guarantee support of Windows 7 until January 2026. Microsoft creates updates for the following Windows 7 editions as part of the extended security updates program: Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Windows 7 SP1 Pro Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows Embedded Standard 7 Windows Embedded POS Ready 7 Microsoft released the monthly and security-only cumulative updates for Windows 7 ESU systems as part of the July 2022 Patch Day. ESU updates can only be installed officially on licensed machines. Bypasses exist to install Microsoft's official updates on Windows 7 Home devices, including Windows 7 Home and Professional. Microsoft has not confirmed or denied the extension of Windows 7 ESU. Windows 7 holds a sizeable share of the desktop operating system market. Statcounter, one of the third-party companies that is tracking usage statistics, sees it at 11.54% of the Windows market share. Windows 11, Microsoft's newest operating system, sits at 10.96%, which makes Windows 7 the second most used version of Windows according to the company. It makes sense to extend support if the numbers are close to real usage numbers. Organizations may require more time to move to a new version of Windows, or another operating system. The extension gives organizations that time. Organizations who have devices with ESU can protect the devices for another three years. Microsoft announced earlier this month that it won't provide Windows 8.1 customers with a similar offer. Windows 8.1's usage share is less than 3% according to Statcounter, even though it is still officially supported. If Windows 7 support is extended by another three years, it would mean that the operating system will be supported for longer than its direct successor, Windows 8.1, and even Windows 10. Both operating systems will run out of support before 2026. Microsoft could offer support extensions for Windows 10, the most used version of Windows at the time of writing. Now You: what is your take on this? (Taken from an article by ghacks)

PhpBB would be a good alternative to the one the forum uses and would be cheaper to pay for but at the cost of lower features
