Thank you so much. I almost gave up, then I noiticed your Mini Tool, worked like magic. Downloaded at least 4GB of updates (windows and drivers updates). Now I'm updated to latest (2022, March) patch. Got all the latest security and bug fixes patch. Having a 15 years old laptop, I was so confused on what OS to use since Windows 7 officially ended support. I tested Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 both x86 and x64 bit versions for weeks and had really bad experience. I made up my mind to take a risk since I saw your video to go back to Windows 7 and I'm really happy everything went well. Big love brother. ❤️🙌

If you're working with low end hardware, try giving Lubuntu a shot. Bit of research required if you aren't familiar with linux (or Ubuntu rather), but it's a pretty nice OS imo. Lubuntu 20.04.5 only requires around 400mb of ram usage and is quite capable of gaming with Steam, GOG and Epic Games (with Heroic Launcher), and almost every other gaming client (via Lutris). It's a much safer alternative to use for internet access than Win7. Though I haven't had any issues using Win7 over the past few years. Maybe I'm just lucky lol. Lubuntu helped me get rid of stuttering in-game in Wayward and Ubuntu allowed me to play Hollow Knight maxed out at 1080p, neither of which were possible on my very old PC with Win7.

Sending much respect, thank you! I'm not one of those who go crazy over Windows 7 but to me I also am, because it has a place in my heart, I'm one of those that grew up with Windows 7 and all. To be stuck on Windows 10 since 2016, I've been wanting to revert back ever since it lost support and then I couldn't find any good tutorials on how to make sure it's on the latest update possible - all I kept seeing was how to be safe on it, like having adblocking web extensions, a separate administrator account so if someone was to gain access somehow through a virus, they need the password from the admin and can't do anything otherwise. So, to have found you, someone who's given this tutorial it has given me the motivation to downgrade without any worries and being on the latest service pack out there (or at least I think SP2 is the latest) Thanks.

Very useful! From what I know the Extended Security Updates will end on January 2023, in just three more months! At the point the Windows 7 operating system will officially be unsupported; no more update of any time, not even for the enterprise. Maybe you could create one last ISO at that time. That will definitely be the final Windows 7 ISO we'll ever need!

That's great to hear you found the video helpful! Windows 7 itself has limited native support for USB 3.0, but with the updates you might be able to get some functionality. To ensure full USB 3.0 functionality, you'll likely need to install the specific drivers from your motherboard or laptop manufacturer after installing Windows 7. Did you have a particular motherboard or chipset in mind that you'd like to check compatibility for?
