Before Windows 11 was released. I read an article, that Windows 7 was the most used OS on planet earth. I still have an older laptop that is pre-installed with Windows 7.
A little piece of nostalgia... HP Probook 4510s got me through college. I was keeping it around for many years just for sentimental reasons. Unfortunately I finally had to trash it when moving countries last year. But yes, it was a great laptop with a truly amazing keyboard.
I sadly wouldn't count on Microsoft (or any big tech corporations) for anything cool looking, or reliable anymore, Windows 11 is pretty much a fad if you compare it to other OS's :(
I still daily Windows 7 on a few of my systems. it's so stable and user-friendly. I've refurbished many laptops for family members and their friends who just wanted a clean system for daily tasks and no creepy 10/11 telemetry and bloatware nonsense.
I just got my childhood laptop back. It was a Dell Inspiron 1525 that ran Windows Vista. I got it for my 7th birthday in 2008 and it lasted a long time, but then it broke after like 12 years. I just found online recently the same exact model and color and everything that laptop. I won it at auction for $28. It came with the power cord, battery, RAM, hard drive, and everything. and even came with the original installation discs. Usually when I look online for Dell Inspiron 1525, one or more of those things I listed is missing, and is mostly being sold for parts only. Well, this had everything. It came factory reset and everything. I’m glad I get my 7th birthday laptop back for the memories.
man, I love Vista and 7, both mainly for the Aero stuff, I am extremely fond of 7 and still use it on a older HP laptop today, I have many memories of messing around on my grandma’s pc on windows 7.
Awesome! It gave me back my childhood memories, when i was 6, I was using Windows 7 and I was kinda good at it, and now, I upgraded it to Windows 10, which was a bad idea. I am 13 Years old now, if I was Windows 7, I could've met myself before ending support in 2020
I have a boxed copy of Windows 7 Professional. I love Windows 7 it was just so easy to use and beautiful. I also like Windows 8 and 8.1. I found a laptop with Windows 7 on eBay and I’ll buy it soon and I’m very excited to buy it.
Nice! I actually recently acquired a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate Signature Edition (00950/25000), and it's basically just ultimate with fancier packaging. Still an interesting item to have in my inventory. I also have a retail copy of Vista Ultimate (32-bit disc only unfortunately), 7 Ultimate, and 7 Home Premium.
Yeah Windows 7 was the best it looks almost like a modern version of XP even though people are on windows 10/11 these days Windows XP/7 never gets old!
I'd love to do this on my childhood family desktop, i remember having to take like 30 minute turns, and i would always try to use it last to get the most time, i always loved playing the built in games and browsing the web back then
I bought Windows 7 about a month ago and now I have also bought Windows Vista. You bought Windows Vista about a month ago and now you also bought Windows 7. Windows 7 is a very nice looking operating system, along with Windows Vista.
I also have a boxed copy of windows 7, I really like 7 it was just so easy to use and beautiful. I also like windows 8.1 as I had a 2 in 1 laptop at the time
2nd comment. My literal childhood laptop is a surface pro 4, but surface does not have DVD drives, but if it did and I had the $ to buy a windows 7 license, 100% would have went from 11 to 7
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1809">30:09</a> I probably would say the opposite because I think the aero feature in Windows 7 was a lot cooler since Windows 11's is actually basic along with it's UI unlike Windows 7. Edit: How does aero snap in Windows 11 have more customizability?
Now I use windows 11, but still I remember those days when I used Windows 7 in my school. Childhood went so fast and windows 7 is now turned into memories.
I wonder why microsoft started to make modern windows so boring in terms of appearance nd why did they stopped aero theme, just how gorgeous was windows 7 was probably the best looking nd simplified windows ever
In January of 2010 I went back to college to finish my degree in Visual Communications, so I bought a laptop with Windows 7 installed. I remember both the Dell laptop and Windows 7 being extremely glitchy to the point where it was unusable. I couldn't even watch a 10 minute RU-vid video on it without the CPU overheating and crashing. Windows 7 wasn't a terrible OS, but it was nowhere near as good as XP in my opinion. I know a lot of people liked it, but I had so many issues with it being glitchy.
well there’s a small chance, since dell factory supplies their windows 7 version, bugs could come from there. and yeah i also experienced plenty of BSODs, freezings, and weird bugs every once in a while, all on different hardware
Мне, как одному из разработчиков windows 7, Microsoft подарили лицензионные диски с windows 7 RTM, наклейкой и ключом. Очень приятно было. Сейчас в России, увы, Microsoft не работает…
I’ve used windows 7 on my MAIN COMPUTER and still do and normally, the national theme is for Canada, but I’ve installed it on different VPNs and I’ve seen the US theme but when I installed it in German it didn’t have a national theme.
Windows 7 was a perfect OS. Its fast, stable, and reliable even on modern hardware! It even is more private, has less bloatware, desktop friendly, and just the best. right now i'm trying to install windows 7 on my January 2024 built PC and almost done!
I still use windows 7 today I remember the day this came out. I was on Vista at the time didn't have issues with Vista but due to 7 being way more stable I bought it day 1 and upgraded. I still use it on a dell optiplex 7040 micro as a daily with the newest flavor of chromium which is superium which is based off chrome and is in active development. I refuse to let windows 7 die until nothing works on it. I hated to do it with xp but xp has long since outlived its purpose in 2024. Windows 7 will live on for quite a while more yet
My Uncle had a windows xp pc and he decided to upgrade to vista then he had a lot of issues and he decided to downgrade to xp the time I wasn’t born. Me I used xp from 2010 till 2014 then I stayed on Windows 7 till late 2019
Moral of the story: always install OSes that you wanted on your childhood computer for me, i wasent even born to even see windows 7, i had Windows 10 after its release, god is it beautiful after 15 WHOLE Years.
I am selling my childhood PC with Windows 7. Although, it has been upgraded to Win 11 already, before I bid goodbye, I wanted a nostalgic moment. I was definitely not expecting a wave of nostalgia with Win 7. It was a massive jump from XP to 7. I had skipped Vista, because of lack of funds at that time, when I was a student. I still dont understand, why it is soooo nostalgic lol
Windows 7 was my childhood memories. I used it for fun stuff like editing, playing games, and draw stuff on it. Windows Media Center was my favorite app because it show us our pictures I take and draw. Can you tell me how to get that Windows 7 Ultimate Pack, because I have a Dell Optiplex 780 computer from Christmas, but it was from 2011 and the Windows 7 Professional version cannot do updates. Can you help me please?
i think a better reason for it being supported longer is because it was one of the best versions of windows but it was supported until 2023 but you had to pay
windows 7 ultimate is my favorite i have it on virtual box and vista ultimate and your profile picture is 100000000 of 10 rate mine and video is perfect
Man I used to have a HP Probook too it's dead now it won't boot I forgot what model it was but it came pre-installed with Windows 7 professional that thing was my childhood laptop too
I use windows 7 in my old MSI laptop when i was a 5, and as of my age 10 or 11 i used that laptop when I'm doing the online class or something since 2021 to 2022. Now i am 14 and I don't think my old laptop works for today.
May I ask if you got the ORIGIN : PUERTO RICO or the ORIGIN : IRELAND model? I can’t seem to find any win 7 ultimates that are the UK version, only American and an Australian one for some reason.
Did you Install Windows 7 RTM or SP1? Because I've never seen Windows 7 RTM to include Internet Explorer 11. It originally supposed to come with Internet Explorer 8.
Also, Windows 7 was my most favorite OS of all time. I still want to use Windows 7 to this day. But for security and compatibility reasons I use Windows 11 (Yikes! I'm using it on unsupported hardware. Yet it's fully fine).
im using windows 7 ultimate and im with my old laptop but i downloaded windows 7 because i wanted but i see it that the logo of the menu for press is of windows 7
my laptop was pretty much close to it it was also black and had the same keyboard color and the power button in the same place, but it ran windows 7 (atleast thats all ive seen it run) i have a better laptop which is *10 years old but it's good*
Are there any reliable 3rd party people still making security and compatibility updates for Windows 7? It is such a perfect operating system and I'd love to be able to use it as a main OS again
I think you're still a child mate. I used a similar laptop till like two three years ago. my childhood laptop was a fujitsu with 133Mhz cpu 64MB RAM 2GB hard drive, I thought you'd install windows 7 on something like that.
