I have my old Precision that runs windows 7 (had too many issues with drivers and window 10 literally just completely borking itself randomly).
Only problem is my home NAS is SMBv3 (with Force Encryption enabled), are there any clients for windows 7 that allow it to use SMBv3?, I don't care if it's not in the file explorer but it would be nice.

why no dark mode?

Sadly there is no W7 support for SMB 3 at all. You're looking at upgrading to 8.1 or 10, or using an alternative non-Windows OS.

 

Windows 7 is end of life and shouldn't really be used regularly anymore, connected to the internet. This becomes more important as time goes on.

yeah, I was hoping there was at least something to add unofficial support for SMBv3 at least, thanks for the help though.
I'll probably leave it on Windows 7 unless I need to update, I had my custom windows 10 LTSB setup but it just decided to kill itself as Windows 10 always seems to do.
