How to Continue Using Windows 7 Safely in 2022

How to Continue Using Windows 7 Safely in 2022
What happens if I keep using Windows 7? It seems a lot of people still want to use windows 7 after support ends. A lot of people can't afford new computers and some computers can't run windows 10, so they are forced to use windows 7. So today I will show you how to make windows 7 more secure. While you can continue to use Windows 7 after the end of support, the safest option is to upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11 or use Linux. If you are unable (or not willing) to do so, there are ways to continue using Windows 7 safely and I will show you how. Windows 7 dead, vulnerable and outdated.

What is really needed is laws that would require a company to place into the public domain any software products that a vendor ceases support for so that independent companies will be able to assume providing essential support for, on a paying basis. This would be a help for state and local governmental bodies and non-profit organization with very long procurement cycle.

Microsoft needs to revert back to Windows7.

[axilleas]

I have come to the conclusion that if we trained people better on how to use their computers the need for anti malware would plummet.
The last time I had a system that got infected I was ten and on Win XP. But as you said most people aren’t knowledgeable enough to be able to go at it using just windows defender and caution.

I'm ready glad they made this video because Windows 7 is still what a lot people use because they don't want to upgrade. Windows 7 is the best operating system out there which are hope Microsoft will continue to think about the 35% of Microsoft users are still using Windows 7 to provide support for them. I still get updates time to time from Microsoft too

Excellent advice Brian. I know a lot of people still using 7 and even I have it on one of my old laptops which I only use for one function (it’s so old and underpowered that it won’t run windows 10, I’ve tried and it practically grinds to a halt). Keep up the good work.

Gotta say I love your videos man They’re very helpful!

Actually my most lovable and favorite operating system by Microsoft.
Windows 7, fast, very snappy, responsive 😎

Hell, a Windows without these damn updates all the time is a blessing!! Had my 2010 Tower revived this year installed Linux which kept destroying it's Graphics-Drivers, Windows 10 on my Laptop goes out of action each week 3 or 4 hours for goddamn Updates and Win7? Two Days to get the Updates and now just running flawlessly! The best Windows Experience i had in my life!

absolutely fine point at the end mate, most tech people tend to forget the average users use computers in awfully unsecure manners in the first place anyhow, continuing to use 7 it will be before long they install some random junk that comes with some kiddy script malware and causes them a lot of issues.

Windows peaked in 7, after that it was downhill, we all know that we just want windows 7 with support for DX12, that would be perfection.

I still use Windows 7 in a virtual machine on Linux Mint. Mostly just for running some Windows apps that there's not a good equivalent to on Linux, however it rarely is used to go online, all of that is done on the host machine.

Thanks for this update, Brian. Message received and understood, but... As per my comment yesterday, I'm still running 7 because of lack of funds to upgrade my hardware. Also, I made the observation, that I'm still running it out of curiosity, to see how long it will take to get hacked and Yes, I'm fully backed up. Thank you also for the comment about only having one Anti-Virus programme on your computer. As a Community Volunteer for many years, I frequently had to sort out computers which had multiple AV progs installed, because family members told the person concerned, that this AV was superior to that AV and in many cases, installed a new AV without first uninstalling the previous AV. What was more frustrating, was when a Paid-for AV such as Kaspersky IS, was replaced with Freebie that was suspect. I lost count of how many times someone had installed AVG on a PC, when the owner had previously removed it and replaced it with Kaspersky, on my recommendation. Please note, I have been using KIS since 2006, when Norton stopped supporting Windows 2000. To date - and despite all the hype surrounding Kaspersky and the fact it's Russian - I've never had a problem with it, as it's always been very reliable. Like Comodo, it throws up a little box from the Systray, whenever I go to a site it thinks suspicious, or try to download software from the Internet. Once again, a great video, which is much appreciated.

Brian has finally conceded that Windows 7 is the best OS

[daveg]

Excellent advice Brian, thank you so much..

[kevinm]

My take on using an older OS is simple. The idea that hackers are going to be focusing an older OS is very, very slim. It simply is not profitable for them to spend time focused on an older OS that few people are using and of those using them even fewer are capable of offering them the exploits they are after. So to say using an older OS is somehow dangerous is really just double speak done by the OS developers to get you to upgrade to their latest and greatest. In fact the way I see it using an older OS is actually the safest option there is, since hackers are not even focused on it or trying to exploit an OS that is not being used and I prefer using them for this very reason. I have two computers using Win 7 and one using XP and have never had an issue with any of them.

Windows security essentials is still updating and working on my windows 7. What is wrong with just using that.

[geraldandres]

I noticed that you made no mention of Malwarebytes nor cCleaner. Is that because they are paid subscriptions? Of the two other OS's, 10 & 11, which would you recommend? Both seem to have their fair share of horror stories.

[simonshorthouse]

A great topic, i face this with clients often and as you rightly say some don't have the cash to upgrade their systems or just won't listen thanks for uploading this. Could you touch on the subject of security for Chrome OS Flex please.

[RealShadowfiendx]

Or upgrade to Windows 8.1 as thats lightweight and still patched and has Windows defender and firewall?
