Observing [february Windows updates] @ Ghacks we can clearly see that Windows Server 2008 R2 is still maintained. …author of [Simplix updater] reported that POS ESU updates will be back-ported to non-server Windows 7 distribution and included in his monthly patcher. So, future usage of Windows 7 is 100% safeguarded. Stay sharp for more “obsolete” Windows 7 news! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

As you may know X670 chipset is already supported by means of [CanonKong’s driver] . [Ryzen 7950X] is confirmed to work with Windows 7. Ryzen 8000 reported to use the same AM5 socket as Ryzen 7000. CanonKong [confirmed above mentioned statement] with his own commentary: I think I will maintain driver pack for modern amd chips until out of my ability. Ryzen 8000 still can work on Win7. So we can safely announce that Ryzen 8000-series will work without any problems.

Recently i’ve switched to newer version of Vegas Pro. Tweeeenty to be precise. I’m using Vegas for basic montage of my tracker music clips for [Tik-Tok channel] . Despite the fact that eighteeeen is surely a nice number i decided to move on and be a hip. To my surprise transition goes so well that i didn’t noticed that i’m using new release. Right after execution Vegas 20 outputs window with [Windows 7 EOL warning], with something like this:

UPDATED ON: 2025-04-25 Expand your abilities with new [OBS v31] . Recently last officially supported version was [27.4.2] . But from now on we can use actual version of software. Here is small instruction list on how to make things rollin’ under mighty Windows 7: Obtain hacked [QT 6.3.1 DLLs for Windows 7] ||| [Mirror] [QT6 is not officially supported] Download [CFF Explorer] [direct link] for basic resource hackery Obviously grab latest zipped archive [OBS Studio 29.

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-08 As you may already know that [Unlisted Slacker] provides the most comprehensive news regarding ageless Windows 7. Because i’m using it as my main system and simply care about. That is why don’t put like, don’t subscribe, [don’t watch embedded shite-ads!] OK, YOU'VE GOT ME! THIS WAS PROPER OLDSCHOOL TEXT-BASED AD OF MYSELF. Some articles ago i’m [already mentioned] about possible updates right till 2026. German enthusiasts [discovered stubs] for feasible future upgrades.

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-16 Added super useful [interactive learning course] Vim is for sure a discovery of the day. It is a [very fast text editor] and will be helpful not only for coders, but can be useful for people who is working with insane amounts of text information. Software is 100% keyboard oriented. It’s based around original Unix text editor [Vi] , which was released back in 1976. VIM 9.

"Windows 7 is not supported by modern Python anymore" The latest official version is [v3.8.15] . Despite above mentioned dummy statement [Adang1345] restored justice and brought back support of Windows 7. Hacked Python installers for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 R2 can be downloaded: ► [HERE] ◄ spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2023-04-07 No chitter here, just plain breakdown of the most important stuff. ► WINDOWS 7 FIREWALL▼ [Outpost Firewall Pro] ◄ very advanced and lightweight firewall with host-based intrusion-prevention and anti-leak systems. Review is [here] . BROWSERS▼ [IceWeasel] ◄ my personal choice to surf web [mozilla crap ripped off] [LibreWolf] ◄ debloated in terms of privacy Firefox with pre-installed uBlock Origin [PaleMoon] ◄ the most mozilla-independent fork of Firefox [but slowly degrading] [Tor Browser] ◄ handy to overcome geo restrictions and other artificial limitations of obsolescent governments Warning: some telemetry is present!

Right after [Windows 7 reached end of life] in regards to non-pos esu updates i asked myself: “How can i improve security of ageing operating system?” Replacement of basic internal firewall comes back to mind in the very first place. After some comprehensive research i ended up with [Outpost Firewall Pro] , developed by [Agnitum] a small Russian company, which was acquired by crappy yandex later on. Software was dismissed after purchase immediately.

UPDATED ON: 2025-05-04 Section is constantly updated! For vintage web surfers most important things are here: plain txt file [may be a bit out of date] Power of vintage 2009 operating system by microsoft can’t be underestimated. [Windows 7 x64] supports up to 256 threads and up to 192Gb [or even 256Gb] of RAM. How cool is that, huh? 256 thread CPU appeared only a [short time ago] .

UPDATED ON: 2023-02-07

Some really important dates, for those of you who are using Windows 7 as a daily driver machine.
As for me, i’m using Windows 7 not only with oldschool hardware, like [Xeon E5] , but with modern multicore platforms like [Ryzen] & [Threadripper] .

AIO Repack of latest [Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes] by well-known [abbodi1406] . High quality package without original payload bloat. VISUAL C++ REDISTRIBUTABLES [x86/x64] 2005: 8.0.50727.6229 2008: 9.0.30729.7523 2010: 10.0.40219.473 2012: 11.0.61135.400 2013: 12.0.40664.0 2022: Latest Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime [x86/x64] 10.0.60833.0 Legacy Runtimes [x86] Visual C++ 2002: 7.0.9975.0 Visual C++ 2003: 7.10.6119.0 Visual Basic Runtimes Universal CRT a complementary part of VC++ 2022 redist delivered as an update for Windows Vista/7/8/8.

Most of you already know how AMD substitute in terms of cores/threads count intel’s pathetic’n’degenerative CPU evolution into revolution. Drastic changes were brought by [Ryzen] CPUs in consumer market in late 2017. [Threadripper] and [Epyc] lines were introduced later on [for workstation and server market respectively]. ► [128 core / 256 thread Epyc Bergamo CPU] It would be nice to see 256 threads in Windows 7 task manager, but i don’t think that it is possible due to lack of drivers.

OK. THIS IS IT. NO TURNING BACK. Yesterday we’ve got [last security update for Windows 7] . There will be no more security patches for Windows 7. At least on generic non-point-of-sales machines. Total of 40 vulnerabilities were fixed. Nice one! Compare it with 64 vulnerabilities on newest windows 11 telemetry gathering platform. Numbers clearly show benefits of mature platform. Easy and [fast update] using Simplix patcher. Oh and yeah, neat news regarding [official support of Secure Boot] .

UPDATED ON: 2023-08-13 I don’t see any limitations in Windows 7. Operating system is a rock solid formation patched up with latest ESU updates. I think that Windows 7 become another Windows XP of the time. Choice of veteran users. OS for people who understand how computer is working. NO CREATIVE BOUNDARIES ARE VISIBLE: Raster editor: Affinity Photo 1.10.6 [2022] Raw converter: Phase One Capture One 14.4 [2021] Vector editor: Affinity Designer 1.

¶ PREFACE NOTE You obviously thinking something like: Man, this is universally stupid, because Xeon E5 platform is based around PCIe 3.0 [15.75Gb/s] and 3090Ti is PCIe 4.0 [31.5 Gb/s] card But i need to check this out no matter the cost. Why? Coz i’m a weirdo, remember? █ COMPUTER CONFIGURATIONS [1] ► Intel Xeon E5-2696v4 / Asrock X99 Extreme 4 / 64Gb DDR4 2400Mhz / Geforce 3090Ti 24Gb Stock [2] ► Ryzen 9 5950X PBO OC / Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X570 / 64Gb DDR4 3600@3800Mhz / Radeon 6900XT 16Gb OC

Just for your information: new versions of KeepassXC can be installed on Windows 7 via legacy installer. You can download it [HERE] . Look for Legacy section (64-bit, Windows 7/8/8.1) and you are good to go. PS On Android i’m using [KeepassDX] . spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2023-08-01 Latest compatible Blender version 3.6.1 Just a super quick note to refresh previous Blender topic. As you may already know that [Blender 2.93 can work on Windows 7] even despite the fact that it is not officially supported. [Alexandru Naiman] went even deeper and it looks like he made the impossible. Now you can run even the most modern versions of Blender. We are speaking about 3.

Well known Chinese driver modder [Canonkong] confirmed that [64-cores/128-threads Threadripper 3995WX] based upon sWRX8 chipset works flawlessly in Windows 7 environment. Considering the news it looks like that more recent [5995WX] will also work without any issues. So, we have plenty of headroom in terms of system performance. As for me, i have no need to switch to “recent operating systems” like Windows 10/11. Here is brief [confirmation] from the WinRaid forum:

If [rumoured] additional three years of Windows 7 support won’t happen than we have an alternative solution. Usually i don’t advertise non-free services, but this one is an exception. [0patch] is micro-patching service, which fix problems of Windows 7 in computer RAM on-the-fly rather than changing system files on drive storage. I recommend this one, because i’m going to use it by myself right after ESU updates will come to EOL.

Just plain numbers if somebody care about. WINDOWS MARKETSHARE [STATCOUNTER] Windows 7 dropped below 10% barrier. ANDROID MARKETSHARE [APPBRAIN] Android 8 holds up around 8% of the market. Btw, Android 6 is fully usable till today [2022/11/23]. FIREFOX DISTRIBUTION [FIREFOX] spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

Stop using mainstream operating systems like Windows 11/10/8.1, modern Linux, like Ubuntu or modern MacOS versions. On mobile Android 14/13/12/11/10/9/8.1 are prohibited because they use neural networks to profile your device and dial back to “home” to dump your personal data and preferences. iOS from very beginning was very phony platform. My personal choices are Windows 7 for desktop and Android 8.0 for mobile. These two cover my digital needs fully, no restrictions whatsoever.

UPDATED ON: 2022-08-13 ▒ PREFACE WORDS As you remember, my [previous daily driver was Ryzen 9590x 16c/32t] . After some fun with it I’ve decided to drop it in favor to retro stuff. Intel Xeon CPU based around Broadwell tech: [E5-2696v4 22c/44t] became the chip of the choice. It is OEM version of top of the line [Xeon E5-2699v4] . It is a bit slower, around marginal 3-4%, but costs significantly less than 2699v4.

Since i’ve switched to [fanless GPU] from Nvidia and began to monitor Windows 7 driver related news. So, here is a [link to the latest] to date Windows 7 driver . It’s really neat to hear that Nvidia is not dropping driver support for Windows Classics . Red team from AMD can’t demonstrate such coolness in this category. Lastest GPU drivers for Windows 7 will be available [here] .

Recently [Ghacks.net] reported about almost unreal rumour regarding [another 3 years of extended support for Windows 7] . If news are true, consider this as a gift from above, because i can’t stand windows 10/11 abominations and Linux is just not ready for serious multimedia workstation workloads. spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik
