I think if Win 7 doesn't see the GPU as being fast enough it won't enable Aero. I assume you manually tried to enable Aero theme and it didn't work? I am not sure if there is a way to trick it...

 

Also, really shouldn't be using Win 7 online due to it being EOL. If its an air gapped instal and won't be directly connected to the internet, that is fine.

Other people have reported windows 7 not seeing the GT730 as Aero-compliant.

So it looks like you need another GPU.

Doesn't look like thats the case

Tho I do have a beta driver installed. I can't use the new ones because it won't find the card

Maybe the stupid Windows benchmark

To use Aero, you must meet the following requirements:

• You have to rate your computer first (Windows Experience Index).
• Your computer must have DirectX 9.0 or a later version installed. Or, your computer must have WDDM 1.0 or a later version installed.
• Aero is not available in Windows 7 Home Basic.

Maybe try non beta, older drivers from the period?

[Blower gpus are cool]

where can i find one that will actual find my card tho? 

the new ones say that it isn't compatible with my version of Windows and that it can't find the graphics hardware.

[Kilrah]

Yeah probably won't be easy, need to find someone who kept and posted old driver installers that still support it...

GUYS LOOK, I FOUND THE OLD DRIVER DISK.
