Granted, I'm sure it's relatively easy to use Tiny11builder or whatever to create a streamlined Windows 11 build that works fine. I just don't care. It's 2K25 and I want out out out.
DDR4 SODIMM seems to have been hit especially hard by RAM price hikes and DDR4 production ending. But I've only been looking at 2x32GB kits so idk.
If you're using an unsupported OS anyway you might as well use a good one. And if you're savvy you can install Windows Server 2008 R2 patches into Windows 7 to keep core components updated for a bit longer -- one released last month.
It's relatively easy to get going on AMD AM4 systems, some caveats with USB and needing to find the right drivers but people have made pre-bundled ISOs even. Omores got it going with 14th gen Intel:
Is statcounter really that reliable, it tends to have odd metric spikes like these from time to time
Not that you should use it because I can't imagine it being stable with certain things but there is actually a project that tries to get the 7 explorer running under later versions. I think someone managed to also get the Vista explorer working with this?
Would that spike occur if the total number of Windows users dropped but the number of Windows 7 users remained unchanged?
Oof, good thing I don't own a console.
The intent of this project is to get the start menu and taskbar from Windows 7 running in Windows 11, not to replace the broken slow "working on it" piece of garbage React Native jeet file explorer.
Was it necessary for them just call everything Explorer instead of being more clear, like using File Explorer or The Desktop Environment?
Nobody is planning to build and test against unsupported operating systems forever.
If you have reading comprehension skills past 8th grade levels and are computer literate you can make your own Win11 ISO with all the bullshit ripped out. Once you do a local install you run Chris Titus's Windows Debloater to catch any other bullshit that got through and you're done. I've been using Win11Pro, activated with MassGrave's script, and updates shut off permanently for over a year without any issues. TPM 2.0 motherboards started coming out a decade ago, it's time to upgrade.
Suck my nuts. I'm sticking on 10 until every little bit of support for it is dropped bit by bit.
If you were a real badass motherfucker you'd still be using Win95.
3.1 should be enough for anyone. Or if you want a Mac, System 6.
I mean you can. Until your hardware from 2014 fails.
That's when you install on your new computer a very minimalist Linux distro which as the sole purpose of bootstrapping Windows 10 in a KVM enviroment that emulates supported hardware
imagine needing more than CP/M
