1. in order to run LM studio on Win7, first install VxKex, install latest release from this repo: https://github.com/YuZhouRen86/VxKex-NEXT2. install LM studio from their normal installer, enable VxKex on the instally if you get a error when installing3. once LM studio is installed, go to the install folder and enable VxKex on LM Studio.exe4. in order to make plugins work once LM Studio is up and running, you must enable VxKex on the Node.js instnace that is included with LM Studio, ...\LM Studio\resources\app\.webpack\bin\node.exe5. now LM Studio works on Win7 WARNING: DO NOT RUN LM Studio.exe as admin, this makes it crash even with VxKex enabledi have included a example image showing this works, i am running win7 on bare metal in this example, not a VM
here's some more images showing exactly how to configure things
keep run as admin disabled or else it crashes

>>108943201Saar what's your caste?
there was a recent NODE version backported to win7.. i just dont have enough need for it for now..
>>108940374Based.For my part I have Forge Neo running on Win7 thanks to VxKex, even ZIT and Klein work perfectly. A shame we're stuck with old drivers and old Cuda though.Imagine driving a ballsy 70s Mustang and >>108940708 >>108942028 >>108942032comes, driving her Cybertruck and she mocks you because your car is "obsolete" according to her.
>>108943717OP here, i only wish i could get a GPU with more compute and VRAM, i'm pretty sure that 3090 or A6000 work on win7 bc ampere was the last to have win7 drivers.
keep windows7 threads alive and ignore the pajeet and microjew demoralization/thread derailment posts, always remember that ragebaiting is demonic behavior and you must not fall for it.
>>108942038WinXP GOD, i kneel.can you make a guide on how to set this up like i made a guide for LM Studio in this thread, i would be really interested to try this on some old XP machines i have, also are you running on CPU or a GPU?
I don't need any of this.
>>108944900Have funsies.https://github.com/dandinu/llama.cpp/blob/master/WINDOWS_XP.md>also are you running on CPU or a GPU?ARE YOU MAD THE THE THE... THE GPU IS HAPPY TO DRAW TEXT. A POLIGON FOR A KINDOM!
>>108944913feel free to piss right further
i would like to take this opportunity to mention that this not a fruity loops studio (fl_studio) thread
>>108945237ugh i hate compiling, can't you just copy your instance and put it all in a zip.
>>108945488Can you keep this thread alive... 10 hours? My XP shitstop is on the shelf and I'm drunk as balls or at least hanging as low.
>>108945504i'll try to keep the thread alive, and i hope the anons here will help to keep it alive long enough for XP GOD to upload this on a file-sharing site.
can't wait to run AI on a netburst celeron.
>>108945488>>108945504Whoopsie daisy, drunk me is retarded. Obviously I made a backup that I can load right now. Have fun.... Sorry again I'm retarded, literally (not downs or anything). P.S. it should have all DLL's but if now just get them online, works just as well, I fucked up first with that. I'm not a dev or anything, just a simpleton with free time. (the actual DLLs were always there in the compiler folder tho... wops...) >>108945516No worries I'm just drippin balls. Here be the link:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N_EFWy_wLHExhNrwnMXdDbQzW-ZWhrHH/view?usp=sharingI wanted to catbox but it didn't load so take it off my bare rod. No rubber. Also I'm so full of *tamines I'll probably be up if you try it soon and like to hear if you managed too. It's missing the model but that's on the link I posted before.
>>108945544is says access denied so i submitted a access request, you better approve this
>>108945570Try now. As I said, drunk.
>>108945575thx, first i'll try it in a vm before pulling out the netburst celeron
>>108945488>>108945504>>108945570>>108945599And if you're too lazy.https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-GGUFTake a model from here on the right that's quite smaller than your total memory.
>>108945544ah but this needs to be run on a 64bit version of XP dosen't it?
>>108940374I don't have much interest in AI but I was able to run Ollama on Windows 7 last year using an older version of vxkex. I just had to download the actual model on another machine.
this means i'll have to get back to this later, i can't setup a new VM right now.anyway, has anyone tried my LM Studio win7 method?
>>108945627nyo
>>108945656what file do i click on to run it and where to put the model?
>>108945710In that zip, llamacpp.bat and after it put the model name that's in the same folder. Like the one I linked before, the .gguf file. If you open cmd in that folder literally just "llamacpp.bat [model]".
>>108945730okay thanks a lot man this works.tomorrow i'll test it on actual XP machines and post results if the thread is still up.
>>108945778Yey, have fun I'll hibernate some time myself now.
>>108940374how did you add neofetch to git bash?
>>108942038wtf can ai models run on crappy hardware now?
>>108946190with scoop
going to try this on my athlon 64
>>1089448473090 probably works on Win7 because my 3060 does perfectly.
>>108945609>>108945544i tried your method and can confirm that it works on a real netburst celeron XP machine, it's not even that slow, i thought that i would be waiting 10 or 20 minutes for an output but it only took 1 or 2 minutes when i tested it.
Is there a way in LM studio to impersonate like in silly tavern natively?
>>108940374So, with this thing I can have an "AI" running locally on my computer? Are they as good as Gemini and Mistral? Which one do you recommend? Are there uncensored ones that won't refuse to help me crack a software?
>>108949849depends on your hardware, i have a RTX 3060 and i can confirm that gemma 4 E4B and Qwen 3.5 4B run great for me, look at the list of models i have downloaded in the OP image, all of those are at least somewhat usable on a 3060, there's also ministral (smaller version of mistral), but you have to experiment and try whatever models can fit into your VRAM, remember that LM studio also supports using your CPU for inference so you can try that too, but it will be much slower, if you have hardware similar to mine i can highly recommend the uncensored version of Qwen 3.5 4B, here's a link for that: https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS/Qwen3.5-4B-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Aggressive you can also download it from within LM studio with the built in model search and downloading function.
>>108949144idk about silly tavern, i've never used it but i checked their documentation and it looks like it doesn't support LM Studio because it's not mentioned in there, the thing is that silly tavern kinda does the same thing as LM Studio because they are both GUIs for interacting with llamacpp, so you could likely get silly tavern working if you just set up llamacpp CLI on win7 and then get silly tavern to work with it somehow, but this seems more complicated than my method to get LM Studio working on win7, LM Studio is better imo because it's basically all in one and works fully on win7 with only VxKex enabled.
>>108949144omfg i'm a retard i thought you were asking about getting silly tavern to work on win7.regarding you actual question about the impersonate setting, i have no idea, you'll just have to try doing it yourself.
bump for informative thread
>>108950081silly tavern with gemma works fine in windows 7, I use the old variant in the github releases.
>>108951662ah thanks for correcting me, i never heard of silly tavern before you mentioned it and i only skimmed the info about it.
if anyone is more familiar with LM Studio i am very interested in what the best tool plugins are, so far i have tested these ones, they work with most models but are pretty basic.
