The biggest problem with using older versions of Windows isn't keeping them safe so much as the fact that programmers keep dropping support for them. OK, maybe you don't want to run new programs, you just want to keep using your computer the way you're used to. Unfortunately, web sites keep changing what's "required" to properly access the site, and often, only a recent version of any given web browser will work 100%, or even at all.

BTW, I put "required" in quotes because for probably 99% of web sites on the net, the only reason that they "require" a newer web browser to do the exact same stuff that web sites have been doing for the past decade is that the site was created with some site designer program that uses tricks that only work in newer web browsers. It's like being told that gas (petrol for some parts of the world) stations "require" you to get a new car because some designer decided to make the nozzle just a little too big to fit in your tank. There's no reason for it, but they did it anyway.

As a windows 7 ultimate user this guide is amazing but right now Google chrome and Microsoft Edge has officially unsupported all security updates to all Windows 7 devices. AVG anti virus and avast anti virus still works. System restore is also a good thing to do to stay safe. Your guide is useful and I love it all love for windows 7.

One can only dream... if only some of us didn't have to use "windows 8+ required" apps... the world would really be a much better place :)
TLDR: Thank youu for keeping the W7 spirit alive! That os TRULLY WAS a revolution!

Windows 7 is the best operating system of all times!

[MacTTR]

im doing a windows 7 and windows 10 dual boot, windows 7 just looks better and is overall a better experience, this tutorial helped a ton, thanks!

[LZAKX]

Thank you for all of these videos. It is great to make old legends like windows 7 be back again.

Im STILL not letting go of Windows 7. Everything afterwards is an insufferable nightmare.

I use Windows 7 Professional as the operating system on my main computer, a Dell Optiplex desktop that I got (refurbished) in 2015. I plan to keep using it as long as I can, hopefully for years to come. I use Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus (yes, the Win 7 version is still being updated), and Firefox as my web browser. To run some old 16-bit and DOS software, I use the Windows XP Mode virtual machine (with internet access in XP mode disabled in the XP device manager by disabling the ethernet port there, to protect it against viruses). So far, so good.

Make sure you have a backup of every driver and software that you need for the future. I literally can't find 98% of the drivers that I need for windows XP and i'm guessing windows 7 will eventually take the same route

No doubt that Windows 7 is still truly one of the BEST childhood operating systems of all time, the fact that it even included some banger songs like Ninja Tuna by Mr. Scruff makes Windows 7 even more memorable. ✊

A lot of these tips are not only good for users of Windows 7, but all users regardless. Computer security is very important. Even if you don't use Windows 7, please follow most or all of these tips.

One thing I didn't see mentioned is that one way to use an up-to-date browser in Win7 is to use VirtualBox to create a virtual Linux system for all your internet use. It doesn't have to be large -- just big enough to hold the programs you run. You can also set it up so that the virtual machine has read/write access to your Windows user data (ie: desktop, documents, etc.) .
Virtual box also has a seamless mode where the guest OS and host share the entire screen. You could set up Linux Mint as a guest, with the Menu bar configured to be on the top and, when you go into Seamless Mode, the bar on the top will run Linux apps, while the Start Menu on the bottom will run your Windows stuff. All will be on the same Windows 7 display.

Still the best Windows!
Love my WIN 7 Ultimate!

Windows 7 was and still really is a great OS... if you have older hardware. Older hardware is still being sold though, and even some of them are new boards based on older chipsets you can buy online at a reasonable price. To this day I still use 7 but not like I use to. Basically I use it for offline programs and older games since 7 supports secure disk. Online browsing and modern gaming I use 10. However, as long as it's possible I will still have a 7 machine, which won't be gone any time soon. I'll hang on too it and in ten years it'll be nastalgic and collectable like real old windows versions. 7 is to the memory of my wife before she passed away, so in no way can I get rid of it.

its been 2023 and i'm still using Windows 7 Ultimate to this day.

Avast itself is another virus that cannot be completely removed except for formatting the disk.

Still using Windows XP here.
There are still web browsers available that are being updated regularly by the XP user community.
I might upgrade to Windows 7 in a few years, but at the moment XP works fine.

[Jtwizzle]

Thanks for the video! Would totally still be on 7 but it just lacks enough support for some applications/games nowadays. It and XP are tied for my favorite Windows OS.

I REALLY feels that AS MOST OF US that brought our own kinds of the computers WE should be able to makes our own choices to chose whatever types of the operation systems WE WANTS.
