This is not Windows 7!

You may look at this and assume that it's Windows 7, however what if I told you that it's not! This video shows exactly how I managed to do this. I used a Windows 10 to 7 transformation pack that works on Windows 10 Version 21H2 and 22H2! Note that this won't work on Windows 11 just in case anyone asks.

IMPORTANT: You need to be FULLY up to date on Windows Updates before proceeding, just so it won't break the OS going from a very old update after the pack is installed. Note that you can still do future Windows Updates that release with the pack installed, however I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the pack after updating Windows each month so that it fixes anything that breaks in the pack from doing the update. I would also check and see if any newer versions of the pack are released before reinstalling it just in case!

I also recommend doing this on a virtual machine or spare PC, however if you know what you are doing, you could install this on your main PC like I did. Note that I am not responsible if anything happens! I do plan on reinstalling my PC soon to clean it out and may end up switching this to a spare machine instead since I have a lot of spare laptops laying around and that would be more ideal for me.

Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoyed this video! The creator of this pack did a great job at making this look very accurate to Windows 7, well done!

It's really nice that people are still working so hard to make transformation packs like these.

I gotta say: seeing a system that looks exactly like Windows 7 and then suddenly seeing the Windows 10 settings app open up looks uncanny

To this day Windows 7 has to be Microsoft's best operating system ever, along with Windows XP. In my personal experince, both operating systems hold so many memories, all the sleepless nights playing video games and testing random apps i found online, I miss those times. 😶‍🌫 Keep up the good work, Julia!!!

Dark mode on Windows 7 is like visual eye candy. The only upside to Windows being a series of layers stacked on top of each other, rather than entirely new versions, is that with a "simple" script, you can peel away those layers until you're left with exactly what you want. I can't decide whether to laugh or cry...

I`m suprised the transformation pack community is still going
i used to use transformation packs back in the day when i had windows 7 lol

[cheze_bun]

looks amazing!! the only thing and the smallest difference is that you can see is that there are windows 7 incompatible apps and programs are installed but can bring an old persons computer to an older version of windows that is still getting app updates

[Eajamy]

the start menu is the only evidence to know if you really have windows 7 or windows 10.

Also a cool addition to this is the Windows 7 games for Windows 10/11.
It adds the Chess Titans, Purble Place, Solitaire(the good one, not the ad-riddled new version), Mahjong and the rest of them from Windows Vista and 7 to 10/11.
Truly adds to the authenticity.

i'm not gonna lie this level of customization on windows is crazy

[HarryDoesTech]

I like how the songs are just windows 7 remixes

[laszlozsurka]

Windows 7 aero theme was the best looking theme Microsoft came up with. I don't know why they had to ditch it and move to the much more dull theme on Windows 10.

[AmrHazem_EG]

Damn! I was by luck running windows 10 LTSC IoT and I saw your video! I've installed it and applied your recommended settings it looks amazing!!


Update: it breaks easily and i tried it a lot.. dont recommend it

Hello, this is a great tut. Please lower the volume of the music next time though, it overpowers your voice at times.
