But can you find one for me? Thank you for the help atm! 

As I said there aren't new prebuilts that come with Windows 7, at least as far as I know. If you're dead set on going that route your only option is the used market - but as I said, I don't think that would be the best solution to your problem.

from the problems you mentioned I don't think you need a second computer at all - you can run Windows on your mac with bootcamp or in a virtual machine and if you tell us what happens when you try to download OBS maybe we can help you with that.

 

Hello! I'm looking for a PREBUILT PC that runs Windows 7, I'm currently on MacOS BUT wanting two computers since to the fact I cannot download OBS for an odd reason and some other programs that are only restricted to windows. 

I'm looking for a computer that runs ROBLOX

Please don't ask for me to build a computer or switch to Windows 10. 

 

Thank you, 

MrMacintosh.

Why not Windows 10? 7 is at the reaching end of support, so no more updates or patches soon.

 

Besides, windows 10 (subjectively) better experience.

 

Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, and Asus all offer prebuilt systems. "Boutique" system integrators like Puget systems, iBuypower, DigitalStorm, MainGear, and DigitalStorm will offer "nicer" systems, with some more creature-comforts.

 

Also, have you considered building a custom machine? It's not that hard, and will save you some money.

They don't sell Windows 7 computers anymore and besides Windows 7 will no longer be supported starting next year. The only way to get it on a new computer is to install it yourself, provided you can obtain a license. Not that I recommend it.

 

Still, from the problems you mentioned I don't think you need a second computer at all - you can run Windows on your mac with bootcamp or in a virtual machine and if you tell us what happens when you try to download OBS maybe we can help you with that.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

He literally specified he does not want 10 and does not want to build a custom pc.

Microsoft stopped selling licenses for most versions of Windows 7 to OEMs in October 2014, with only Win7 Professional being sold up until October 2016. 

In the (extremely) unlikely event that you find a PC that still has Windows 7 in a store, it'll probably have been in that store for around 3 years already.

As @Captain Chaos said, it's extremely unlikely (impossible) to find a Windows 7 Prebuilt PC that isn't used or old, but what you can do is buy any prebuilt you like and buy a Windows 7 license yourself (microsoft doesn't sell it, you have to buy it from other places) and install Windows 7 on it

But be aware that support for Windows 7 ends in about 6 months, so you won't be getting any security updates
