OMG! I thought I was alone in the world. I'm a retired PC tech stubbornly clinging to Windows 7 (Enterprise, 32-bit). I have a small, home network with 5 PCs--three Dell Optiplex 780s and two Thinkpad T61s. I hate forced obsolescence and will hold out against the Borg (MS) as long as I can. I will keep running Win7, continuing to tweak it so it does what I need it to do, having just added a USB 3 PCI-E card and a high-speed WiFi dongle. I'm happy to have found other people suffering from my same affliction.

Hello, haven't been here in awhile (I never posted much) but I'm glad to see the forums are still here 
. I miss Windows 7 and the GUI, especially when I upgraded to 11 and saw the new desktop context menu. Thankfully there was a registry hack to fix it back. Will be looking to purchase two older computers soon with Windows 98 and Windows 7 to play some retro games so thought I sneak back around.

Don't know why I can't thank more than one poster!!! So Thank You. Most is working there is an issue with creating a "New Folder" I can create it, but unable to rename it. I don't use this unit "online" it is mostly used to play DVD/CDs as this is the only thing I have with an appropriate driver. I have Win 11 on the PC I'm using now. I could not drag and paste your link to the questionable unit. I had to load Win forum on a thumb drive and then take the link to another Win 7 PC to load it. This will be my last Windows product. Will be switching to Apple.

Hello everyone! I just recently started reviving my use of Windows 7 (Starter) mini netbooks, three of which I've had since they were new in the 2010 timeframe. My wife bought a new HP Mini 210-1018CL which lasted a couple months until I regrettably spilled a martini on the keyboard. She replaced it with an Acer Aspire One NAV50 then I got my own A-One D257 which I'm using to type this. Just a few months ago, I finally restored the HP Mini with a new HDD, motherboard and RAM upgrade and it runs like new (Thanks YouTube and ChatGPT!). The the bug bit and I acquired and restored a few more netbooks, another D257 and a couple HP-Minis that were left for dead. It's been a lot of fun and satisfying to bring them back to life!
Cheers, Allan

Hi from the boonies of Idaho!
New to this forum, but not new to forums.
Here because I'm old, set in my ways and am not a fan of any version of Windows beyond 7.
So, there...

Welcome to Seven Forums.
I'm no Spring Chicken either, but I can still embrace the new (I'm active on Ten Forums and Eleven Forum too).
But I also cherish the old and have several Windows 7 laptops in regular use.

Hi Bree!
Thanks for the welcome. I didn't mean to sound like such a luddite, but I'm happy with Win 7. I also have another computer with Win 10 and a laptop with same, but not fond of either of them.
Hoping to discover all kinds of new stuff in 7 that I did not know about.
Thanks again,
Michael

Hi from the outer rim of the german rustbelt....
Still think W7x64 is still the best MS OS and use it daily - but installed Solus Budgie a year or so ago to
learn that. So ive a double boot system. Now im on to a bigger hardware upgrade for my old FX8350
system to a more modern Ryzen one. And that was exaclty what brought me here.
And i dont wanna leave Win7 because a marketing suit somewhere decides i have to.....

Greets from Seattle.
New to the forum but not forums. I normally only read the forums and never sign up, so I uess I am here to plant myself a chair and rust while drinking my coffee.
I spent 30 years on computers (mostly) TRS-80's, COCO 1-3, Commadores 64, 128, Didnt really get into desktops until about 1986' then I bought my first 486/DX2/66 and got used to playing with them and repairing them.
Later buying a AMD Crossfire Xpress 3100. I have always Loved (Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista (not at first, had to grow on me), Windows 7 ( I played around on Windows 8, 10, 11 after two years of playing on those, I HATE them) Not for linux, but the cross over and methods. (anyway) Now I use Windows 7 and Linux Mint LMDE 6 as my goto for everything.
Now I am here for no good reason, just decided to show up. maybe be of use somewhere to pass the days away for now.
