Hmmm a Microsoft Partner website recently was redesigned and has both of these problems. First is the horizontal scroll. The site was designed for this specifically... but only for main navigation and header/langing pages. Any actual content (for example, a link to advertising guidance) is then in your usual vertical layout. And that site also is built very poorly. It was designed to be a one-stop-shop for information but it ends up having links to things that LOOK interesting (at least to me) but you get access denied message. One instance there was some update regarding Office 2013 lifecycle and I wanted to read it, but could not. I email the website support and they say I don't have access to that (duh) and I should USE THE SEARCH FIELD to find things as apparently THAT is smart enough to show me what I can actually click on rather than the menus. :\ I typically don't mind people trying new page layouts or navigation designs, I was doing things like that when I was making websites. When it interferes with my ability to get where I want to go, then there is a problem.

Welcome to the MSFN!

I agree that it isn't really a downgrade if you have to use an existing Windows 7 license. Microsoft basically removed the downgrade ability for the OEM System Builder when Windows 8 came out and didn't really tell anyone how much it had changed. The ISO from Digital River is fine, but the default (generic) key can't be activated. If someone wanted to buy a new PC and use old Windows 7, they would be better off buying one without an OS. I mean, that is an option for a customer but MS doesn't get any money that way.

nLite.1 Update 1

Downgrade Rights from Windows 8/8.1 still require the end-user have Windows 7 Media and a product key. No longer is it possible to phone into the Activation Center and they give you a product key to activate Windows 7 with like you could from Vista/7 to XP.

Download link removed. PsExec.exe is not redistributable.

A driver problem in the parking garage!

I wouldn't be surprised! I see it occasionally from various manufacturers. Even the more confusing cases where newer BIOS has lower version number than older BIOS release. It could also be caused by a hardware revision. Very frustrating.

If the download is from DigitalRiver, then it is a legit ISO.

People can make their own choice about what software they want to use. I can have my own preferences about things, but that doesn't mean I think it would be a waste of time if someone else were to look at alternatives.

Whatever is chosen, verify it doesn't already exist. wLite.exe is a thing already, some webcam software.

You can purchase either Retail or OEM System Builder Kit Windows software from large online retailers like Amazon or Newegg, although there are others. Official Microsoft resellers may also offer this OS for sale. Both Home Premium and Ultimate have reached EOS (End of Sale) so any media left in the market are all that there is. Once it dries up, it will only be in the secondary (used) market as used or NOS product. Also, make sure you really want Ultimate. Go through the feature comparison to verify you actually NEED the things Ultimate does. You might just be fine with Pro or Home Premium. http://winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/windows-7-product-editions-a-comparison-128684 The Office in that link does not specify (unless I missed it) if that is the FPP (Fully Packaged Product) or PKC (Product Key Card) version. Just because of that, if I were to want to purchase Office 2013, I wouldn't from that site because I would be uncertain of what I would be receiving. Plus I never heard of the website, which doesn't help. Like the Windows OS, you can get Office from major online retailers.

Well, what are your software requirements? I doubt you are going to just install Windows 7 and nothing else. Basically if you are using 64bit, your minimum RAM level is 4GB.

The other topics have been removed. Op, you may want to consider hosting the file on a site in English and one that is more well known/trusted and/or doesn't require enabling of javascript to download.

That black rectangle with the non-genuine message was inserted into that warez authors, for whatever reason. We won't discuss it in specific terms, but Kel has already given a hint. Although, it may be possible that the Rt7lite you have is not a clean or original source.

Only if the version after that is nLiteDS9

IMO, the only real benefit for UEFI mode is you can boot a 2.2TB+ disk. Also, IMO, having the OS on such a large drive is a waste because I'd rather not keep my stuff on the same disk as the OS.

Yeah, I suspect on the more limited BIOSes, that the Windows 8 option enables everything that Windows 8 needs/wants/works with. I certainly have seen some where you can enable Windows 8 and there is no options for Secure Boot or Rapid Start or what-have-you.

It seems, based on the screenshot, this "amazing tool" might actually be closer to "amazing warez" ... vsUK, you should look into using MDT, which you can use to create unattended installation from DVD or USB.

I have run into this as well. It isn't specifically locked to "Windows 8" but it just uses that wording. They use terms Windows 8 instead of UEFI boot and Windows 7 (or Other OS) for Legacy boot. I've even seen one where UEFI mode is enabled, legacy is disabled and 64bit is disabled.

One reason to get that error on MSE is if you have another antivirus software installed. This includes Windows Defender. If you have Windows Defender also, uninstall it, reboot and try to enable the real time protection.

Windows operating systems are not redistributable. These topics for nLite are to help those who use the program, and no where is there an offer to create a custom Windows installation for other people to download or share.

HA! That was my first reponse... see post #241. I confirm the Find Links button on a profile goes to the "Oops" message. I can't see mine nor yours... Although I'm not sure what that button is SUPPOSED to do either. It may not be implemented. The only other IPB forum I am on that has that button is Reboot, and it just goes to a page that says "no links."

Ah. In your profile, on the left menu there is a likes button. I went to yours and click it and can see where your likes are from. You can also see what posts you have liked.
