welcome to the windows 7 thread
/d7t/ copypasta:
Feel free to share your experience here with legacy Windows operating systems past their EoL date, such as:
>Methods to hack software to make them run
>Last versions of software/drivers known working on legacy Windows
>Custom forks/builds of software that don't support legacy Windows systems anymore
>Getting legacy Windows systems updated
>Other tips-and-tricks

Feel free to post your projects, devices, and setup
also feel free to let out ur nostalgia for w7 or simply discuss windows 7 / other old ass windows versions. many pre-8 versions of windows were great after all.

It feels so surreal to see Windows 7 become nostalgic, yet here we are. I think this is the operating system of zoomer childhood right? I barely used XP, most of minecraft-at-midnight, anime on youtube, club penguin days were spent on Windows 7. At least from what I remember, very few computers actually updated to Windows 8, so even by the early-mid 2010s most PCs still ran on Windows 7.

I can't say I feel particularly nostalgic about it, I have my PC with a Windows XP skin though...

Also, can you post the 4chan thread lol
