The registry actually lives in a couple files in your profile folder. You could probably break a lot more by swapping those instead since your method only added the win7 ones to what was there. It wasn't a true swap.
You guys are right here. Altrough I'm not sure if Windows would boot at all after swapping those. And if that is the case, the video would be boring and this method gives some payloads. But like you gys said, it wasn't a true swap. I think "Merging the Windows 7 and Windows 10 registry" would've been a better title, that's my bad.
Yo Windows Hero, ik zag dat je Windows kalender in het begin en je youtube Nederlands wa, de comment in het begin zei: "Naar het Nederlands vertalen" Ik vind het super leuk dat je dit soort content maakt en vind het helemaal leuk dat je Nederlands bent!
Super interesting concept, however this method of importing doesn't create a 1:1 copy of the registry, since it doesn't delete keys. Anything 10 removed from 7 is still there in the 7 vm and anything 10 added from 7 is not removed in the 10 vm. An effective way to do this would be to copy the registry hive files themselves
@@straightmustafaThanks! The problem is that smaller resolutions look bad on a monitor with a 16:10 aspect ratio, and setting my host aspect ratio to 16:9 doesn't look good either.
Nice video. A suggestion: Run a newer x64 version of Notepad++, OR your machine/VM doesn't have enough RAM allocated to it. I load up MCNP output files that become much larger than your entire registry in Notepad++ routinely, works well with 16GB+ ram (32GB works very well).
Thanks! About Notepad++, I was running the latest version but I guess it was my ram, I only have 8 gb and my Windows 7 vm with 4 gb of ram was running, so the ram usage was 81%. At least my page file is saving me so I can do my stuff 😅 I'm planning to upgrade to 16 GB soon!
One problem I see is that some registry keys need Trusted Installer permission to replace them. And some might even be protected by kernel. So by importing registry like that you create broken state where some keys are replaced and some that are protected will still have their original values. This is mixing of registries, not swapping. It would be interesting to see you boot with linux live cd and swap the registry files instead. This way since windows is not currently running you get complete replacement together with complete removal of old keys.
In the old time windows did a registry backup regularly (in xp you was able the choose at boot "Last known good confifuration" if sonething went wrong.). I don't know why MS decided to disable this.
If you are talking about the browser on the Windows 7 vm, it's Supermium. It's a chromium based browser, made for older computer on Windows XP to Windows 8. It works on WIndows 11 too. It looks exactly like Chrome, but it works nicer!

@@hecker4050 I think it isn't a good idea to port the official Aero from Windows 7 since Windows 10 would become very buggy. But there are some good thirdy party options available. You can patch your system to support more themes like for example an sweet theme like you would find on kde in Linux or Aero themes in your case. You can manually find one and install it. Or to make it easier and better, use the 21h2to7 transformation pack which is very accurate to the real Windows 7. You can use Revert8Plus too.
