Can you still use Windows 7 on a modern PC in 2023? Today in this video I’ll try to find out is it worth to use Windows 7 in 2023 on a modern hardware. Windows 7 extended support ended on January 14, 2020, but there is a way to update Windows 7 until 2024. It means we can use it today. Will modern games run properly on it? Let’s find out.

Yes, I use it on a 2014 computer
my desktop pc has it :)
Yes
I have windows 11
No!
I miss Windows 7.
Probably one of the greatest Computer Operator's in Windows History.
The truth is that it's getting outdated. Yet still one of the best.
use it everyday forever - neve change!
@@raginald7mars408 I use it in a Dell D630 and it literally works like a charm! I can navigate the web, use modern programs I need for school like Packet tracer without any issues and extremly smoothly.
I am using windows 11 but it is extremly slow because of windows defender scanning too often...
@@raginald7mars408very good job
Windows XP and Windows 7 will never die!
1. The reason you got the “missing media driver” message was not because it couldn’t recognize the drives, but it was rather because it could not read off the USB after booting off of it. The system can boot off the USB, but after that, it needs to read it in order to deploy the OS, but it can’t, because it doesn’t have the necessary drivers to read off of it. If you installed it using a cd/dvd or installing it onto the correct drive by plugging the drive into a compatible PC and doing it that way and then plugging the drive into yours, then you probably wouldn’t get that error message.
It’s not because you’re lacking Intel RST drivers or NVMe, unless you’re using RST which is very unlikely or if you have ONLY am NVMe.
I’m not sure why it worked once you integrated them, but once I integrated unnecessary drivers for already supported devices while installing 8.1, and it somehow worked.
2. The reason the nVidia drivers couldn’t install properly is because the Win7 wHQL servers are down since January, so it can’t connect to them to determine whether or not drivers are valid and authentic, so no driver signatures will work and they will be detected as illegitimate. To solve this issue, you have to use DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely uninstall the current display drivers and then disable Driver Signing and disable integrity checks via CMD while restarting and then get the official SHA-2 hotfixes from Microsoft and lastly, install the drivers as admin. nVidia has addressed this issue here: nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5445/~/changes-to-the-display-driver-installation-process-under-microsoft-windows-7
3. The reason Fortnite did not work on Win7, is because this March(very recently) Fortnite dropped support for Windows 7 and 8.x.
4. I’m not sure why the games kept freezing and crashing, but you’re probably correct that it has to do with outdated nVidia drivers.
Nonetheless, this was a great video.
o0 thanks
@@RamtechENG Stop wrong!
@@RamtechENG You’re welcome. Thanks for uploading this.
Windows 7 is not outdated too much if everything is patched for current suitation,I think Ramtech could do a revision multiple years later.
If using XP,that would be a total different story just like the video you uploaded 10 months ago.I'm using POSReady 2009 as daily XP OS with everything patched through WIndows Update and WSUS Server.Most softwares stop supporting XP around 2014~2017 and some of them(Adobe Creative Suite) stop supporting XP before reaching the EOL date due to XPx86 was too common at that time.
@@linglin92 Agreed.
It´s sad, that Windows 7 is getting outdated. I used it a lot as a child.
What now linux
Yea its so sad but virtual machine exists ❤❤
@@Void_9876why use a virtual machine when you can just own a real windows 7 pc.
i used windows 7 too! in fact, i still have that computer and i use it every now and then, just for a little throwback.
It's sad that Windows 98 is outdated. I used it a lot as a child. 😢😢😢
Windows 7 was my OS of choice that I stuck with pretty much since it came out until Microsoft decided to cut support to it. 10 is fine but it doesn't come close to capturing the magic of win7 and all the bloatware is very offputting
debloat windows 10!
5:16 SDI origin (snappy driver installer) is really good at installing drivers for old OS's and or obscure hardware, it'll be very useful for this series and just other troubleshooting
rocking win7 here since 2009. it's fine really since win7 is the basis for all post-windows os so the only reason something may be incompatible is if ms or the devs make it so. and even if they do, many "win 10+ only" games will run no problem just by replacing a .dll
the main problem really is lack of keyboard and mouse drivers
Wdym? Do keyboard and mice not just plug and play like they do on Windows 10? For a couple weeks during COVID I switched back to Windows 7 and my keyboard and mouse worked fine (though I wasn't USB patched so had to use a PS/2 keyboard during setup).
Basically, when Microsoft stopped supporting it, pretty much everyone else stopped supporting it also. It's a shame since I really liked 7.
yeah cuz security reasons

Been running windows 7 on a 3700X build I did back in 2020, had to hack in an NVME driver for the M.2 slot, it works alright. It allows me to run a simple smb file sharing network I can access anywhere on any device in my house, they took that away or made it difficult in Win 10/11. Thinking of upgrading it to Win 10 when I swap on either a 5800X3D or 5900X, but I use my 5700U laptop for almost everything lately.
A lot of people myself included would k177 to get Windows 7 to run on modern hardware.
If you could evaulate a bunch of mobos and find the one that had the most support and build Windows 7 systems based on it, you could really make bank. Old people, or blind visually impaired people such as myself, loathe Windows 10 and can't stand it or can't use it.
There is a massive niche market for people who would give their arm and a leg for the latest hardware running 7... for video production and actually... getting work done. Most of us have kept right on using Windows 7 right into 2023 without any issues and it runs smoking fast in 2023... albeit on our hardware that is now 10 years old. So we're dying for a hardware upgrade, but want nothing to do with an OS jump to an inferior operating system saturated with cruftware, telemetry spyware, and just messed up and changed everywhere for no reason at all... and with a completely unusable alphabatized START menu.
Latest hardware can run Windows 7. My current build is using mostly new components and has no issues thus far. Windows 7 64 bit will be compatible with 99% of hardware that runs Windows 10 and 11. The drivers might be an issue for a bit, but there is an extended kernel being worked on by some guys on the r/windows7 subreddit, so you should be just fine getting modern hardware to work with it. Windows 7 is the greatest operating system I have ever used. I grew up with it and fell in love with it. I learned to compute with it, and I will continue with it until my computer falls apart. At that point, I'll just give up on computing. Microsoft is getting far too comfortable with my private information.
Best,
T.W.
i had to use third party software just to replace the atrocious start button on both win 10 and 11
I hate them so fucking much that i would rather have Win 8 start menu
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller Yeah, I use OpenShell, ShutUp10, and WinAeroTweaker to make the menu like Windows 7, and turn off all the spyware, and bring back some of the Windows 7 features. All three are free written by people like you and me who couldn't stand Win10 interface. Been running them since I first installation, and the only problem I've ever had is I can't activate Win10... so maybe do that before you install them.
I have managed to install it on my Lenovo 100e 2nd gen which originally ran windows 10 pro, I will never regret going to windows 7.
Windows 7 was great! Though as the years go by, it is slowly starting to show its age. I still have a Windows 7 back-up drive.
It's only showing it's age due to lack of support though
still have my original windows 7 pro disc and product key , putting together an old computer system
to run it on ; win 7 pro was the most user friendly system MS had IMO
so what does MS do - they kill it and started making their app more and more and more user UNFRIENDLY
😡
I have my windows 7 pro pc working now , only draw back is how slow it is when you are use to the speed of a windows 11 pro system ; if I had the money I'm sure some pc guru could upgrade my ssd , memory and gpu and make the system much faster but that will have to wait until I can come up with the money ; but hey , I have a pc that can run dark basic pro now and since I don't use it to surf the web or use it for anything else on the web , it is a system that I don't have to worry about keeping it up to date

I used Win7 on Z390UD until last year. Worked great. I slipstreamed SATA/NVMe from Gigabyte and USB drivers from Chinese site.
Thanks for this!
I'm building a new gaming computer, and I'm planning to use the older one (Ryzen 3600, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti) to replace my VERY OLD day-to-day work/home computer (i7 4790, GTX 1660).
I'm looking to install Win 7 to one of the SSD drives on what will be the "new" day-to-day, because I have a number of mostly simple, really old games that I still occasionally enjoy wasting time with, that won't run on Windows 10/11.
Hopefully, this tutorial will make that possible, and I'll be able to pass my older day-to-day to a relative whose computer not only has the nerve to be even older than my old one, but which has always had much worse specs!
Very old?! I use GTX 1660 SUPER and INTEL I5 for extreme gaming!
@@kretismyt same, but i use a GTX 970.
The last great pure desktop OS by Microsoft
I never updated
I'm still happily using Win 7 on my favourite computer
5:52 or just press f8 at boot screen, and select disable driver signature enforcement
I am. I have no real issues. There is an extended kernel in the works to help run programs that have stopped supporting that version of Windows. The operating system is still just as wonderful as when I first used it, and I have every intention of using it for the foreseeable future.
I also miss Windows 7. Ended up getting used to Win10 but will have to switch to 11 in 2 years, which absolutely blows.
Actually, Windows 10 will be supported until 2032 OFFICIALLY the same way Windows 7 is supported until October 2024.
Through official Microsoft patches intended for Windows Embedded POSReady (Windows 7) or Windows IoT (Windows 10) that are actually compatible with all versions of Windows 7 or Windows 10 respectively.
Again, they're fully compatible with Windows 7 Pro / Windows 10 Pro (or Home, for that matter), and since they're officially sanctioned Microsoft drivers, you can keep using Windows 10 carefree for another *checks watch* 8 years 10 months and 11 days! (as of Nov 27 '23).

Tutorial for Windows 10:
Isn't necessary for another 2 years (so no one's made one yet) but when it happens, it should be more or less the same process as the tutorial above, just searching for Windows 10 IoT Extended Security Update drivers rather than Windows 7 Embedded POSReady Extended Security Update drivers. Might not be the same driver site (looks ancient) so I'd set a reminder to Google that for October 14, 2025. ;-)
Did that say 16 THOUSAND GIGABYTES
I still use Windows 7. Can't find any good reason to change, OK maybe to Linux.
the answer is : yes. i've used it for a short while during summer of 2022 for nostalgia purpose. i have a i5-9600k pc build
edit : despite already having done this myself, i watched because i still found it entertaining :)
I use Win7 but only on old HW like Skylake or older using an ISO that was prepared by a Gigabyte tool that adds USB3 support circa 2015. It also stays offline, its a vastly better experience than Win 10 but its for SW development only. Any newer HW, it would have to run in a VM or use I Classic Shell to make Win10 look and feel older.
Just for kicks, I have tried Vista because thats pretty close to Win7 but even harder to get running except on old 2010 mobos as used by i7 860 (no USB3 at all).
i have a desktop pc running windows 7, it’s a modern pc and just installed 7 on it because the motherboard driver page still has drivers for windows 7, and one thing i noticed is fortnite worked completely fine on it up until the release of chapter 4. whatever changes they made in chapter 4 prevent the game from working on windows 7, not sure why or if there’s a way to fix
Where did you download windows 7 legally?
where did u download windows 7? planning to install it to my pc 😊
one way to install windows on UEFI is to put Windows 8 or later and then mount a windows 7 iso and install it like that, its how I installed Windows 7 on UEFI in VMware.
Still using Windows 7 today. It works fine but the only issue is driver support

Windows 7 can be installed on an 8-core Ryzen 7 2700X CPU running on a compatible motherboard with downloadable Windows 7 drivers. Mine is an MSI X470 Gaming Pro motherboard, still sold retail. The only built-in port not supported by Windows 7 is USB-C (Microsoft never updated the driver). No problem, I just use a USB-C to USB-3 adaptor.
I love Windows 7 but my Modern PC isnt really designed for Windows 7 and I cant play Steam games anymore because W7 and W8 wont be supported by steam soon
Windows 7 was so clean and easy usable and its so beautiful
Thanks for this video. You can also move existing Win7 to modern CPU/MB using Acronis backup/restore.
I use Windows 7 professional on my PC and it still has good performance
best real desktop os made by microsoft.
I still use windows 7 lmao
i am currently watching this video with windows 7 ... feel🗿
...me too windows 7 pro...ha
Windows 7 only runs on up to 6th Gen Intel Processors, so I am surprised to see it work.
Google for it. Some dudes are running it on even 12th gen.
Window 7 OFFICIALLY runs on 7'th Gen Intel (didn't originally, but Intel caved in as 7 was still supported OFFICIALLY when the 7'th gen CPUs showed up) - and UNOFFICIALLY on later gens.
You *might* have issues with updates on later gen CPUs causing issues.
And don't forget LGA 2066,probably the 10980XE is supported
I got my first Windows 7 install done not long after it was released in 2009. I still have two machines with it installed - a desktop which rarely gets used these days as I don't have the room for it and a laptop which was used regularly up until today when I finally replaced the monitor on a Linux box that I use at my bedside. For that matter, my single Windows 10 laptop is configured to look and (as far as possible) run like Windows 7. I've yet to try W11 but then I don't have a computer that would support it normally so I'd have to use one of the workarounds so I'll have to wait until one of my existing machines becomes available and isn't needed for anything. I just don't trust Microsoft updates!
omg if you can, can you send me any tutorials/tips you got for making windows 10 like 7? i got most of the looks down but i wanna see if i can do more since you said you made it run like 7 as well
"everything works fine in apex"
**Dies on the right timing**
Yo ngl the windows license sponsor was hella sketchy 😂
pls make a video installing Windows Vista on a PC gamer 😔💜
happy 1 year anniversity of this video
I remember using Windows 7 on the crappy laptop my family bought to play those old spongebob flash games lol i was a big fan of spongebob back then
Did you know that you can update windows 7 with legacy update in 2023 ?
How?
I have a HP ProBook 650 G1 that ran Windows 7 for the longest time. It’s sad to see that Win7 is being pushed into history. I had to upgrade my laptop to Win10 Pro, which works fine but I love the user-friendliness of Win7.
I still use it to this day. I use only browser, office and old Autocad on it. No issues, 4 years without reinstall or crash, became lil sluggish in the past few months but nothing annoing.
Babe wake up, Ramtech just posted
I still use this awesome fast windows OS until the end of Microsoft Security Essential support for win7, It's mean the end of 2023.
Still use it daily, never an infection, never an external attack, all the software I need I archived it on my HDD and it is always fresh and useful and stable, no need for the failures that are WIN 10\11.
Maybe I could go for Windows 8.1 with all updates and service packs in the future, but some of its innate features can be integrated non-natively on windows 7 too.
I have so much memories of windows 7
Used it as a main OS until 2020 when i got a new laptop (my old one had a *2010* pentium)
Funny enough Fortnite ran on Windows 8.1 just fine. Even with the error, the game still ran without issue
PUBG couldnt even run on windows 8.1 for some reason, but it can run on windows 10.
Awesome!!! I would love to try put Windows 7 on my Asrock motherboard - Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E with Intel Core i7 12700K @ 3.6 GHz, 64 GB RAM DDR4 @ 3200 MHz and Nvidia RTX 3060 @ 12 GB VRAM.
**********************
I still using Windows 7 today! Windows 7 still rocking stronger running on my old HP desktop for 10 years since I bought HP computer in August 2013 from HP shopping website! Because I love Windows 7 for gaming! It come with two 1 TB Seagate hard drive (Advanced Format = AF) and it's CMR types. I did upgraded RAM to 16 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz from 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz and added Western Digital Blue 6 TB hard drive (CMR type) SATA for to put a lot of PC games on there. Finally play Starcraft 2 and SpellForce 3 (with modded to remove few useless effect like fogs, blur to increase FPS speed up gain about 10 - 15 FPS total about between 30 FPS - 45 FPS on Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM DDR3 @ 1600 MHz with Nvidia GT 630 (Kepler type) with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. Windows 7 rocking and very solid operating so far for 10 years! No motherboard failure, No GPU failure, No RAM failure, No Hard drive failure and No Power supply failure yet!!! If something go gone wrong then I know to fix is to replace hardware parts on myself. Powerful HP desktop computer model name is H8-1360T and it's beast gaming computer used low power without overclock so far! Hooray!!! 👍
Because Windows 7 and Windows XP are real sister operating system which are best in the world!🤩
I had old DELL computers with Windows XP used for gaming and love it. I played Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Age of Empire 2 and 3, SpellForce 1 to 2, Armies of Exigo, Age of Mythology and Stronghold games.
I had MSI laptop come with Windows 10 (I disabled auto update with program name is StopUpdates10 to prevent any problems also it will work for Windows 11 and later to block auto Window updates) and play Nintendo Switch games on Yuzu emulator and Ryujinx emulator on Nvidia RTX 3060 and running amazing smooth. Awesome!
I did try Linux Mint running on my Windows 7 used VMware Workstation Pro program without change operating system. I love Linux Mint look similar to Windows XP and 7.
If Microsoft company doing a lot of worse in later new operating system then I will never touch it and will going to Linux Mint for everyday to use on internet in near future. Cheers

1st: Windows 7

what is blud babbling about
Windows 11 is better than 10
4:50 - it's your current CPU frequency. It will rise if CPU gets loaded
I miss windows 7 bro. It helped me become really good with computers even as a 6 year old
Wish I would have found this when i tried installing win7 on my hard drive so I can get the free upgrade
1:27 you should have said "but they don't work in other ports either".
For now, yes. But not for long...
why? (i'm not trolling just interesting whats might happen)
can you pleeease do Windows 95 but it installs to the hard drive, and you show us how to set up the USB?
The answer is yes, but Steam is incompatible with Windows 7/8, including Roblox which shows a white screen. It's highly recommended to use it not for gaming, but for work, etc.
Windows 7 is old, But never forget its still gold, As old
Windows 7 running in Virtualbox is good enough for running the apps that no longer work in Windows 10 etc.
Not so much for people like me for example I don't have fast enough ram then I tried it on tiny 11 in virtualbox same result ram is significantly slow. So I want to dualboot it but my keyboard wont work idk why
You know what's really much better, running Linux Mint with Cinnamon as desktop environment
I’ve got 16ram on my vm windows 7 works really well
extended kernel here to save the day be like:
7:02 you can use Heroic lacher for epic game
i am currently using windows 7 as of writing this.
Run GeforceNow on that glitch, get games like Death Stranding running like butter in upto 4k even on these old systems
My mom uses to have windows 7 but.... got upgraded to windows 10
The most important: Windows Experience index = not show. XD Great video bro
I think I am going to have the best luck building a new system is using your same motherboard. If I want to have windows 7 and hek yeah i sure do, even if a few newer games might not play.
This guy on this computer: play games❌️ install old oses✅️
also time moves on,Newer computer wont accept older versions of Windows,Microsoft are closing of a lot of the older version's of windows,My gaming computer will accept windows 10,Be glad to upgrade hardware,Then can upgrade to Windows 11
So basically Windows 7 works well, just the game, program and driver developers don't bother to make them compatible.
I still use Windows 7 as well as XP and 11
i had an i7 980x lasted 10 years, upgraded to i9 10980xe but searched for mobo that had win7 support (Gigabyte X299 UD4 Pro), then with sysprep got same win7 running, would hate to reinstall all the programs. ofc i have multi boot including win 10, also syspreped. using win7 most of the time. a mature OS is not a bad thing!
oh yeah my granpa still uses a upgraded version of windows 7
win 7 commercial updates also stopped, if you use some unofficial win 7 you will get updates from third party from windows updates
I still run Win 7 on 2 pcs and my laptop. Also have 2 on 10, which dual boot, one with Mint and one with Zorin. I will not go to the spyware laughingly called Windows 11. I will switch to some flavor of Linux when that time comes
Try Windows 10
Try the BIOS/UEFI.
Windows 10 will work on modern PC so that's no need to create a video about it
Try turning it on.
Most people still use it!
It ends support next year, so no wonder…
R/woosh
Developers create those errors on purpose, so we install newer windows with tons bloatwares😝
today? you mean now? what do you think i use now. tomorrow as well, and the day after... until we get win 9 :)
i have i219v and i am trying to install ethernet drivers but i get this: cannot install drivers. No intel adapters are found in this computer
the only reason I like windows 7 is its detail. everything was so glossy and 3D.
super useful video!
great video i want to do it on my Ryzen 3100 system
still using windows 7, tried 10 and 11. still have a machine on 11. but prefer the other 2 laptops on windows 7.
Good video!
I can't get my motherboard to boot a known working WIndows 7 installer on USB key in CSM mode, so I made up a UEFI bootable one using an ISO from another RUclips video where the guy rolled in 800 drivers he scavenged from everywhere and baked into the ISO. I can boot it up all the way to the point of the WIndows 7 installer logo animation, and then it hangs right at the end of the animation.
I'm going to follow your video and see if I can use the methods you used to get Win7 running on a Ryzen 9 7959x with 128gb RAM / Gigglebyte AORUS X670 Elite Gaming motherboard.
I still use Windows 7 every day in 2023 for the last 10 years on an FX-8350 and it runs like a pimped out dream.
At the moment I'm running Zorin OS (linux, but with a Win7 like interface) on the 8950x and it's not bad... It's actually pretty good, once you change a lot of things... dark theme it, increase mouse pointer size, icon sizes, text sizes, etc. However, I really need a WIn7 environment that can run Windows apps natively... mainly Sony Vegas. I bought a copy of WIn 10 and I'll install it as multiboot with eveyrthing else but man I so don't want to live on that desktop if I can avoid it any way possible.
BTW, all my Steam games run just fine under Windows 7 on the FX-8350 in 2023 and I've never had an issue with them. Steam still supports Windows 7, although they've foolishly stated they are going to end that support Dec 2023.
weird i had no idea that windows 7 is so incompatible with modern laptops, why is that?
I still run W7 on my Dell XPS M1730 that I use every day, for some reason I am still getting security updates, I'm not complaining but I would like to know why I'm stll getting them, anyone know?

What safety advice would you give to those of us who want to use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on an older PC now that Microsoft has stopped releasing security patches? Would installing a third party anti virus and fire wall and practicing good digital hygiene be sufficient in safely navigating online on a Windows 7 PC?

@@punterjac8695No, its not sufficient. AV solutions rely on an up to date, patched, OS. You should not use an EOL OS.
@@Streubanane Thanks for your reply. You say that AV solutions depend on a patched OS. Then, how come Avast and Panda offer free anti virus for Windows 7 PCs? Panda even offers free anti virus for Windows XP PCs on their website. I have been using free anti virus for a decade and have not had any problems. Every now and then I scan with Malwarebytes free for peace of mind🙂. Thanks for your input.
Eventually Windows 10 will be retro. I find that sad but I am quite sentimental.
Where is the nvme support windows 7 download link??
Of course you can I have been running windows 7 and still do, Only my desk top has windows 10.
It's November 23, 2023, and we still use Windows 7 in all our Computers in our workplace (38 Desktop Computers and 7 Modern Laptops), and they do the job perfectly.
NOTE: we don't use Internet at work.
The reason you couldn't run Fortnite was due to AntiCheat, had same issue with windows 10 version 1809 the thing that fixed it was updating windows 10 to 22H2.
I dont care abt updates i will use it
Windows 7 was the best beter than Vista
Still use Win 7 in 2024. It's still the latest great operating system from Microsoft. I won't getting pushed ober to something I don't like. I am not a fan of either Win 10 or 11 and unntil MS comes with a great OS again, I will hold on to Win 7.
Good thing I did not upgrade my windows 7😅
This is why I support abolishing copyright, Operating Systems need to be preserved for as long as possible.
Also, does it run well with the highest ened specs?
not really,Ive been repairing a Laptop what was in quite a bad state when I first got it,Ive done most repairs on it now,Ive format the hard drive,Installed windows 7,Some software programs wont even install on it,The load up internet explorer,Not connecting to any website,Looks like Windows 7 is now getting even more out of date,Soon do a Windows 10 32 bit recovery,See how I get on with that
If you're doing 32-bit then Windows 8.1 is more secure. Windows 10 32-bit stopped at build 1909, meaning that it stopped getting updates over a year and a half before Windows 8.1's support ended.
Or maybe just mod Windows 10 to more look like Windows 7. That is also an option and dang it looks really damn close to what it was minus the limitations of Windows 10 sucking some metro things into the theme and mixing it up so there is a metro/aero symbionte.
how
it will still be 5 times slower in everything the system does
@@alexmehler6765 If you don't have good hardware, then yes. But my PC is a beast and runs super well with the theme applied.
@@alexmehler6765for you yes
Not the same

thank god i am a suse user........
