lol got 2 os win 10 and 7 on my pc thinking about adding 1 more ssd for pop os

windows 7 dying very sad :( best os period

Im still using windows 7 and As long as you have ALL possible updates installed and an antivirus program with a payid full license, there is no problem at all!

just keep the win 7 offline i have one and dont have it online it uses lass ram and far less invasive

​@@edwineriksson2882😅😢😂😂😅🎉

Thanks for sharing

I can't even properly comment on how stupid it is to run Windows 7 in an internetworked environment.

​@@jTheDigitalDoctor What is so stupid? Depends on the use you give it... Every system can be hacked if you run the wrong software. I find it stupid to give MS your money every 3 years.

@@diuco17 I'm an IT Tech for a Fortune company in the USA and I can tell you that Windows 7 is no longer patched unless you pay for Enterprise level support. Since you won't even pay for a new operating system it is doubtful that you will pay for enterprise level support. That said, all vunlerablities in Windows 7 are permanent so hackers know excatly what to exploit so you cannot run the "right software" to secure it because such software does not and will not exist. If you have your system off the Internet you wlll be fine as there are some special case uses for it. However, I find this also doubtful as from your statements it's your primary OS. Continuing to bank or doing other security-sensitive tasks on your machine is not recommended and firewalls don't mean a thing since they only protect you against unsolicited communications and not communications that you initiate. Their are a myrad of reasons why you wouldn't, if you're properly reasoning, as to why you wouldn't want Winodws 7. Unfortunately the general public isn't that bright. I've had to explain these issues to a former employer in the medical field who was later hacked and lost HIPPA PII and is now facing a DOJ investigation into his incompetence. I tried to warn him but he didn't want to spend a few dollars on an new operating system. There is being cheap and there is being frugal and it would behoove you to know the difference. Who knows, maybe you'll be fine, but I doubt it. It's just a matter of time.

@@jTheDigitalDoctor i kind of doubt your such an ''it expert'' if you allready fail at realizing the most important thing here: we dont live in the year 1990 anymore. you talk about hackers exploiting normal people. normal people are not even targets for hackers anymore for years. why on earch should a hacker waste time on ''exploiting'' a random person with a 8-5 job and nothing of value? modern hackers in 2023 target the internet itself, they target servers where the data is stored on, they target big companies who work with said data. data leaks and server breaches is valuable because you get a lot of small data in one go and those huge amount of data is what you can make money with. Norman normie, coming home from work and then watching some show on netflix or playing with the kids is utterly uninteresting and unvaluable as a target. hackers exploiting... what exactly? to see what norman normie watches on netflix or to pay his debt because norman normie does not have money himself?

Its up to you, if you can upgrade, I would.

Dual boot if you need Win 10 may be an option.

see thats something i allways struggle to understand. people allways talk about updates... with security but the fact of the matter is: in 2023. me and you as a private person, we are not even targets for hacks, security breaches, virus or whatnot anymore. that stuff was a thing in the 90s and early 2000s. in 2023, individual norman normie persona are uninteresting and have no value as a target. if you target something today...its the servers and the companies who store data to breach and leak data on a grand scheme. in return however, updates seem to make things worse

@@MaybeTiberius completely agree. The precautions that I usually take are having adguard installed and configured. And external hard drives and multiple copies of everything important. Then I disable Windows update if my copy of Windows is stable enough and never look back

same same

@@MaybeTiberius the funnt thing to me is every content creator talking about this topic keeps saying how u need to think of other OS when windows 7 is only problematic if you're dumb enough to click fake download buttons, or let trojans onto your system... i know windows 7 is old but im not a grandma.

With a compatible motherboard and drivers, Windows 7 SP1 64-bit can be installed and run on a Ryzen 7 PC. I use an 8-core 2700X with 32GB RAM. The only built-in port it doesn't support is USB-C (no Win7-compatible driver available). No problem, I just use a USB-C to USB-3 adaptor.

Unfortunately the outrage does little if only a small minority are the ones that are angry. You can show your outrage by switching to something else and cutting Microsoft off from your support. I've been primarily on Linux Mint for several months now and it has suited my purposes just fine.

If updated software isn't available then you need to keep these machines off of the Internet.

Running a $5K program in Windows 7. Windows 11 geeks can go F themselves. I am not updating.

good for you

By the way I'm from Philippines your number 1 supporter of your channel

Agreed. Me too.

No need because you can use Linux instead (for free).

@@folksurvival some people need to run Windows software, not just browse the internet

I know person use windows 98 still this day

but dont do online banking or use credit or debiy card information to riskey

@@franciscohorna5542 But if you have vpn, a paid full license to an antivirus program with protection for bank information, personal data, then there is no problem.

I've never used paid antivirus software in my life, and not all Windows updates are necessary as they're not about security. In fact some of the last updates MS released retroactively injected telemetry into Windows 7.

@@edwineriksson2882 You want to go one step further and plug that machine into your network, because any wireless connected device is vulnerable.

If people stay off questionable websites there is no more risk with Win 7 than any other OS.

no bloat in windows 7

Same i’ll use windows 10 just for internet related stuff

Legacy updates..?

​@@Corvid_Mooncan you do an in depth description

i’d definitely recommend linux purely because if you’re dedicated, you can make it look almost exactly like windows 7, which you can’t do with windows 10(unless it’s a version that’s already reached end of service) or 11. and unless you pirate games, steams proton compatibility layer is amazing for gaming on linux, especially for older games (some of which just runs straight up on wine). also, linux will just be way faster and easier to run on your hardware than windows 11. it’ll probably even be faster than windows 7

Thanks, will do!

I'm inspired from what you do with the laptop, I'll take a note

Will you get ongoing updates for non-TPM windows 11?

@@kwaobenti Oh certainly, MS doesn't seem to notice, lol! Just updated this morning (major Moments3 update) to ...22621.1928. I've got seconds showing on my tray clock! LOL!

Can you show me how accurate your Windows 11 is to windows 7? and how to do all of it?

@@MythicqI Lol!...what you talkin' 'bout Willis?? How do you quantify accuracy regarding an O/S? And how to do all of it? I've lived 70 years this time around, you want all the details? That's just lol!

Agreed. Me too. I'm still using mine right now.

You're welcome

Why would you insist on running an outdated operating system when all it does is put you at risk and makes the lives of us techs who are sometimes forced to service it unberable? Clients don't get how much a pain in the ass you Windows 7 holdouts are. From compatibility to security you make our lives hard. We don't care why you have Windows 7-we just don't want to support it. My advice? Upgrade before you regret no doing so.

@@jTheDigitalDoctor Wow you sound triggered, relax, if anything happens to my pc, due to software or hardware, this "client" can sort it out himself, as I'm old enough and educated enough to have plenty of knowledge on the subject... Also, I don't care that you don't care why I have Win 7...

@@jTheDigitalDoctor Because everybody hates microsoft's windows 10-11 bloatware OSs. Windows 7 is still the king of OSs, rookie!

@@g.s.6255 I'm actually a degreed IT professional working for a Fortune 500 -what are your credentials? The only rookies I see here are the ones stupid or poor enough to be forced to use an outdated operating system with no true security built into it. I also see people scared of change. I work in healthcare and I've seen the havoc caused by data breaches in Windows7 and XP machines that I've had to fix and was tasked by a major conglomerate here in the USA to "upgrade" them to Windows 10 or 11. No true upgrade was possible due to the age of the hardware but no reason existed to maintain Windows 7 with no native encryption or software support (unless you were willing to pay for Enterprise support) I chose the Windows 10 pathway due to it's higher stability index and native Bitlocker encryption. Our network team secured their end by upgrading the firewalls and network segmentation. Disliking an operating system and using that as a basis to make a business or personal decision to retain and antiquated piece of junk that's had it's day is both illogical and unprofessional. I may dislike some people that I work with but I don't quit my job because of it. Liking it is not a requirement, being practical is. In short, you're an idiot.

Yep, my Alienware R3 desktop won't update past Windows 7 64bit. Old bios that can't be updated, although some claim success with W10, it is messy and pretty unusable.

Windows 10 has a 32-bit version.

"an anti-virus, a firewall and spyware protection".............Did you install them separately or they are in one package? and what is the name of that package? Thanks

Oh yes, no bloat back then

Indeed and what people seem to base the supposed vulnerability of Windows 7 on is how insecure Windows 10, and by extension Windows 11, are. Although they fail to take into account that many of the exploits for 10 and 11 target features and holes that are only in 10 and 11... and are not even present in Windows 7 to begin with. Also some of the biggest voices shouting about how vulnerable Windows 7 is haven't even used the OS for years anyway, and are basing their bias purely on the hearsay of people who don't even know what they're talking about. It's just become trendy to dump on older operating systems, but in reality is just a smokescreen for people who are sheep and won't admit they feel the need to have the latest and 'greatest' all the time.

@Douglas_Blake I completely agree they just want you to be a sheep and make you afraid so you feel oblige to buy their new repaint system which in fact is worse and worse over the time and mostly based on its predecessor but does not work as intended and finally worse and slower . For me Win7 64 is perfect since more 15 years now and i think it will last a lot more . You just need to make copy on a regularly basis with mirroring disk to avoid catastrophic problem and if you know your system you separate data from system and everything is fine in fact . I only crash two times long time Win 7 and it was my mistake in fact , mostly i will say it's just how you drive your system carefully and you will not encountered major problem that's it !!!

@@FlyboyHelosim Yes I totally Agree. I been using the Windows XP for the 15 years like most other users without 1 single problem with viruses or hacking even when there was such stuff online. I had basic anti-virus and scanning software and no problems. Then like most I gave in and brought windows 7 pro when that OS had been out for 2 years by then because I knew how many huge holes in the OS security it had after it 1st released so I waited until 2 year mark to see those sorted with service pack 1 updates and service pack 2 to plug those holes that lazy greedy Microsoft just left to us poor users to find and report to them to issue a fix. I been using windows 7 pro ( including now as I type ) for many fine years without 1 single problem to do with these so called big news virus or hacking threats. I think all this so called news is from the minions whom work for Microsoft. They make up these stories and then slash them everywhere to scare us users into getting the next overpriced full of more holes rushed out OS so Microsoft can see more millions roll in as silly users rush to upgrade to the next load of rubbish OS again full of holes. Just MS hype to force millions world wide to buy more OS rubbish from the Microsoft company who is so mega rich they could sell a OS for almost nothing and still be worth billions. If they make a demand they can con us into buying anything! and each year their OS are even more to buy than the one before even though the OS is not even beta tested 1st.

@@zibobpompon5768 FWIW ... I ran a single installation (no reloads). Never had a problem.

​@@zibobpompon5768Well, I think the main issue is going to be with how the internet develops. Internet protocols are going to continue developing, and now that Windows 7 is no longer being supported the time will come when it won't be able to access the internet anymore.

Steam ending Windows 7 support simply means that I'll ditch Steam.

All the Chromium browsers have stopped Win 7 support, including Edge, Brave, Avast Secure Browser, etc.

Trust me, it will be possible to keep Steam running on 7 even after the end of this year. I am not worried

​@@himmelskibetExactly what I'm hoping for 😉👍

Like I said, don't recommend free, go with the paid option.

Yep, I've never used paid antivirus in my life. It's a con. It's bloated and hogs system resources, is a bugger to uninstall, and often costs silly money.

Agree. I have Win 10 and Win11 on other computers. I have spent more time and frustration fixing updates on these "secure" versions than I care to tell. Win 7 on my desktop has never had problems, not to mention the telemetry in Win 10.

as long as its updated

Watch the video before accusing people.

@@Britec09 I did, which is what led me to my conclusion.

Windows 7 pulls all of its updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog and the only thing that has been changed is your system clock.

@@Mario583a Uh, what?

Yes.

Chrome is as well. Opera browser works for now

firefox will support win7 till september 2024 i think .They released a statement .Steam also will end support on january 2024 .

Actually, I doesn't. I have current Firefox on Windows 7, 10, and 11 machines. Certain features of certain sites (e.g. financial transactions) no longer work properly on 7. The problem is, unsurprisingly, getting worse over time.

There is a way to fix Windows 7 so that it can connect to Windows update, but I can't remember what it is off hand because it's been a few years since I did it with my rig. Just look it up on Google or whatever your favorite browser is.
