Windows 7?

[skayqz]

Hi, i know Windows 7 is long gone like 3 years ago but i still feel like it was the best operating system out there, the looks were a 10/10 and pretty much everything else was a 10/10.

I was wondering is there somewhere out there security updates that you can install manually into your Windows 7 pc?

Or basically improvment updates in general, i never got to experience on my pc W7 since i didnt have one until now and when i say windows 7 ui i was like bro that soooooo cool.

I saw w7 but actually it is w10 edited isos but they just dont have the same feel.

 

Is there anything you guys can help me with that?

plz halp

Support has ended as well as extended security updates as well as software support from 3rd parties. So it's a security risk and use at your own risk. Nothing to patch here.

There were some ways of getting into the paid LTS channel for free that would kinda do what you wanted it to, but AFAIK Microsoft has ended support for that as well and you'd have to rely on community made patches if they even exist. 

 

Most software even doesn't have support for Windows 7 at this point, so browsing the web in general is a security risk when using it as you'd have to use an out of date and vulnerable web browser. I get you really like the UI of Windows 7, but there's no way to make it practical and safe to use.

The only possible reason to use Win 7 is to run Windows Media Center in place of a cable TV box.  Don't use it for anything else.

Windows 10 and Classic Shell FTW. You are welcome.

the real problem with 7 is that many games and applications simply won't run, so yeah somehow tweaking 10 is ur best bet (pro tip: do *not* delete any system critical services,  etc, aka do not try to "debloat")

 

 

 

here's my slightly tweaked win 10, feels "XP" enough to me (that's what 7 really is anyway) 

 

 

 

(i got all custom/special, but original Microsoft win 7 system sounds too!)
