Just upgrade to Windows 11 K2 already.

how long til i can use my rx 7600 on win 7?
>>108725738AmazingI might actually ditch linux on my old laptop if VxKex worksLaptop so old it coughs when running Win10, now I can turn it into a media center

does dlss framegen work with this
>LegacyUpdate (Get the latest updates and DLL repositories for Windows 7): https://legacyupdate.net/Does it actually pull security patches from newer versions of Windows or is it just to get to the last version of Windows 7?

>>108728291you are mad because windows 7 is superior. it is natural to feel resentment and fear. your comment has exposed your insecurities.
>>108728690it does but it's easier to just get the simplix update pack and install that since it includes esu updates that legacy update won't give you.
Why use this dead dogshit at all
>>108725738If only VxKex got updated to fix the mouse issue on newer Unity shit.
>>108729308why are you gay?
>>108726036As someone actually on it, that stupid thing breaks compatibility for so many previous-gen programs. Its like the dalit they put in charge forgot the entire leg up Windows has over the competition is its vast legacy library.
>>108729284>no uefi>no secure boot>no usb 3.0 ootb>no nvme support>doesn't support new hardware>no updateswindows 7 is superior how?
>>108729347why are you looking at a mirror?
>MS shills coming into Win 7 threads to stir shit>they do it FOR FREEEverytime, everywhere.
>>108729442i don't work for microshit, meds now
VxKex has been abandoned for months. Forget about it.
>>108729471It works fine for some stuff still, but yeah, none of the forks really see any activity anymore.

Big strength is that it supports Vista-11, unlike 7 onlySurprised you didn't follow /lwt/ general's conventions thoughbeit
>>108725738Not trying to shit talk or argue, just wondering why, genuinely why would you still use Windows 7 when GNU/+Linux is established enough and will run more software than Windows 7, and that is without jumping through hoops.You clearly do not need Windows for anything since you're using one that is so outdated that it runs less software than GNU/+Linux, if not that, at least go to W10LTSC because you're clearly not runinng an offline machine.
>>108729874>why are you choosing to not install another OS over installing another OSNobody knows the answer to this mystery.
>>108725738just install linux mint, dummy
>>108729885The answer I got from this is that you're a braindead, low IQ person. If you died today, nobody would be impacted.

Not a single day zero discovered that isn't patched yet.>windows 7 is superior how?Because it makes uneducated retards like you seethe to see people be free from the slop you're force-fed. :^)

win 7(and xp kinda) are peak soul we will never see again, it is best for everyone to keep win 7 alive and working as much as possible, zoomers who got raped by win 10 as main were ment to be some dystopian cyberpunk AI slaves, win 7 showed us what future could've been if corpos didnt take the path of shareholders value.Bless this anon for posting these win 7 update threads!

anyone know how to get the ea launcher to work? it was fine a few months ago but now won't even install
>>108729874we've answered this question perhaps thousands of times. go look in the archives>>108733457thanks anon>>108725738https://www.patreon.com/posts/second-system-2-138036875you guys need to know about second system. I installed it and now I can use new software like Signal with little issue
>>108731043chicken (memory) cosplaying a cat, forgetting Linux's python exploit few moments ago>>108729874GNUnix is easily accessible in a virtual machine. W10 has a remote kill switch, it kills bios on a motherboard, also it has a warbird trojan. its okay to play games or do tests on it, but for programming W7 is optimal, it is still not very much polluted with a threading mud.
>>108733769>patreon
>>108735431yeah, I know, but in this one instance I found it acceptable. Threw this guy $5 for a month to get access to the second system stuff. Perhaps the most worthwhile money I've spent on software. Pretty much the only money I've ever spent, lol.I figured even though I hate paying for software at all, I should put my money where my mouth is because when I was struggling with dropped support for 7 I remember getting mad and posting on here how I would genuinely pay $500 or something for a version of windows 7 that just works forever.so, $5 for making my installation of 7 work even if just for another few years is very much worth it to me.

>>108730888Omg!I only use software that is updated every 5 minutes. By your definition, that’s the best (except for sw updated every 4 minutes)

>>108735732I think the point was that more and more stuff isn't working anymore, dumbo.
>>108735392Windows also has exploits and security issues buddy, difference is they won't even patch them in most cases so glowies can use themIsn't closed source great?
>>108735953Window XP and windows 7 developer here.So 99% of our binaries generated on Win 7 work fine on Win11.It’s largely a zoomer/millennial/developer issue if it doesn’t.One thing that doesn’t work is the latest encryption nonsense found in tls 1.2 but it’s only a probkem if you’re using the built-in Windows SSL stuff.
>>108735993As stated earlier, the main standing issue is that mouse inputs are not recognised on many new Unity games.We're not talking about Win7 stuff on Win11, to be clear. The other way around.
>>108735981XP comes from a time where you had little, no, or improper natting on your internet connection or dial-up. You’s come home to thousands of net message pop-ups and have to close them.By SP 3 it was pretty much hardened against everything.Modern windows 11 has an enormous new and changing attack surface, it’s almost certainly much less secure.
>>108736032> that mouse inputs are not recognised on many new Unity gamesThat’s odd. I’m guessing they’re installing custom mouse usb drivers where it’s screwing it up for Win7. Anti-Cheat? Can’t use your old 12-button mouse?Most likely the zoomers at unity are taking advantage of some useless devkit macro or something that breaks on Win7 because they copied the latest sample code.
>>108725738How safe is this shit?Just for basic web browsing and running office?I've got a fully functional laptop with Core2Duo and 4 GB from 2005.And how do I get these ancient drivers?>>108728291Yeah, but it's very very shitty experience on ancient hardware.
>>108729874>GNU/+Linux is established enough and will run more software than Windows 7Nothing can run photoshop/Lightroom and microsoft office except windows.
>>108735868For how long?
>>108736109Windows vm with near native performance thanks to kvm
>>108736181Nope, tried that as well.It just didn't work as expected.https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps
>>108736196did you install paravirtual drivers
>>108731043oh no da hackers r gonna penetrate chrome...which has the same level of security on every os...and all of 7s exploits are known and manageable even if it does and no one targets it anymore because its a minority of installs and lacks modern winapi, i so scared
>>108736258Yes.I followed the instruction to the letter.
>>108725738>SteamCMDJust use the normal client with VxKex
>>108735981yes, it is good for OS developer to have sources open and easily compilable. why do you need them open?GNUnix always projected as a server OS, it is intended to run like a blackbox providing services. it has worse modularity than windows's "DLL hell" and as a result everything must be re-compiled for certain distro.one example its worse for development:recently i made a memory allocator that is group based, so on windows i used an undocumented "NtQuerySystemInformation" function to get memory page size that is used in offsets calculations. when i switched to Linux implementation i found that there is no sane way to get memory page size but to read some file at the /proc path, that is 3 syscalls (no libc) compared to 1, i cannot afford it now, i simply put a temporary stub, like#define MEM_PAGE_SIZE 4096so it could be changed manually. that shows Linux as less "dynamic" OS if you like
>>108729308Doing everything but install Linux
>>108736062They've changed the way they check for mouse input by using IsMouseInPointerEnabled function in winuser.h which is W8+
>>108737372Fuck, I erased half the post while sending, I'm getting tired.I was gonna add that IsMouseInPointerEnabled is just a function to check for the mouse, I have no idea what Unity uses to register mouse input itself, because VxKex Next actually override the check but it basically just makes the mouse not work in games that don't use the legacy input detection.
