you should do a review of the Fate series at some point

I only stopped using Windows 7 this year, just over a month ago, putting off updates for ages since my PC was DDR3 and LGA2011 socket any new upgrades apart from the last GPU update were realistically going to require a whole rebuild. Really stable and the only real reason I upgraded is many more new games were incompatible like 40K DarkTide, and some older games also updated to no longer run on Win7. Although I'm fine with the aesthetics of Windows 11 I don't like how Windows 8 and beyond have loads of random sponsored content pushed on you in the default start menu, yes you can do some tweaking to get rid of it but I preferred how non-bloat and unintrusive Windows 7 was on fresh install.

Why windows 7 it’s Microsoft Windows … u want windows 7 get theme.

1:33 whats with sATA? every normal computer from 2002 to 2025 still using sATA commonly

I'm watching this on Windows 7 FR And on modern hardware

I know I'm late to the party, but it's incredible to find one of the few content creators who know of this "gem". Thanks for the video! :D As someone who only ever played the UK version of Hot Wired/Speed Thief, I feel pity for you Americans for having to deal with that gangster's voice. The UK version sounded a lot more pleasant on the ears. "Now, listen: I've some clients overseas who are interested in this specific vehicle. If you can get the car down to the docks, I'll pay you cash in-hand for your troubles." (Funny how, after all these years, you remember the weirdest things...) Glad you talked about the music for Midnight Racing - to this day, I'd love to find (and download) the ripped-audio from the menu as well as the in-game music. Shame you didn't also mention the music in Hot Wired - nostalgia city.

lol I distinctly remember a cd of blasterball 2… how we got it?… idk but we had it lolol

Is... IS THAT AN NFSU STYLED SPEEDOMETER?

NOOOO😭

18:32 I fucking agree, these damned crypto nerds and their stupid acts of misusing graphics cards is a FUCKING CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

I’m watching this video bc my dad has this pc and I want to make it into a gaming pc I’m on budget 2024 hopefully it still works (video)

Similar project. My problem is a driver gap. Newish Acer motherboard probably won't have any drivers for WindowsXP. While the graphics card should work in almost all versions of windows with catalyst.

This.Was.My.Childhood.

08:34 Oh my god did this man just call gui GOOEY??

Watching this on a 4060 and i5 14500😮‍💨

Woah great video. Personally I love Windows 7 a lot , nostalgia bias is also involve. I always do hear Xp being best but I'm sure some of us love 7 more. I always make my windows 10 pc , look like 7. Windows 10 is only supported and I don't think I will go to 11. 10 is perfect only because they bricked 7.

do you have ddr4?

No its old skool racing 💀 -sepsi

just finished my i5-4690k 1660ti windows 7 build, took me a bit to get my drivers together but it works! never had a windows 7 desktop, only laptops and could never game on them

Burnout 3 Takedown is my favourite Burnout game and I used to play it with my friend(s)(I haven’t seen him(Cory)in 5 years) and I will always and I mean ALWAYS remember the EA slogan as “EA sports, challenge everything” being whispered by a younger high pitched voice, not “EA Sports, it’s in the game” in a low deep voice

0:16 you mentioned me

What phone is that?

The Sims Deluxe Edition taking ~30 minutes to install from CD on a Dell E1505 running Windows XP is pretty normal. Source: I've done it. Multiple times.

Dell Inspiron E1505?

Id 100% use windows 7 if my hardware had CSM support I cannot find a bios motherboard or a csm one so for now I'm using windows 8.1 themed to look like windows 7

So its pretty much Big Rigs 2

9:18 ain't that the THPS Special Trick sound?

I'm sorry, but i am running the last platform that natively suported W7, which is sixth gen intel, socket 1151. The last gpus that supported W7 were released around 2019-2010, so you can make a pretty up to date Windows 7 pc that can run almost any game, all you need is a I7 6700, 32 gb of ddr4 2400mhz ram and something like a AMD RX5700XT. Also worth mentioning, my 7th gen. Lenovo L570 fully supports W7 as well, it's the OS i'm using on it.

All I ever buy is dell. I've had an HP that was really good but all my other HP's has had issues. This Dell I have now is the best Dell to date that I have had. All my others had to get sent in to get repairs this one hasn't had that issue yet.

I love that the bridge still barely works.

Excellent

I think I first heard of trainz at the age of 3 or 4 maybe from watching the videos of the game on UA-cam but my first game as a little boy was train driver journeys which is the same thing as trainz but for mobile devices even though at the time we had trainz driver for mobile devices as well

The reason why all the cars have the same sounds and the same floating tail lights is because they used the same exact code for all the vehicles and they just swapped the models

I love the recent trend of era accurate setups! Because as great as it is to upgrade older games to be on modern hardware, there’s always something special using the authentic tech the was made at that time. It adds to the experience!

You have the same exact keyboard I have for this build!

4 core 8 thread* not 8 core

My Windows 7 rig currently is a Dell Precision 5810🤣 with a Xeon E5 1630v3 32GB DDR4 4x8GB (QChanl, but maybe in Dchanl with 4 available slots) with a GTX 660 until I get the modular 8+6 power cable part ordered. Then I'm putting my shelved Titan Black to use😆 It's about equivalent to my main desktop x99 i7 6850k 32GB QChanl DDR4 (8x4GB) I know it's absolutely unnecessary I only got it because by brother's friend called me to collect it from an abandon rental unit and it supports all kinds of sata and legacy and UEFI boot options, like AHCI that's great cuz when ever I installed Windows 7 on this WD RaptorX drive (the drive with a factory window) I didn't realize that feature was off in that bios I originally installed it on.😬 now it's really hard to get motherboards with that bios setting. if it doesn't have it, its on by default and windows wont boot. I took out the drives it had in it and connected my good'ol reliable WD Raptor drive and it worked!🤣 Sure I really should reinstall it, but do you have any idea how long it takes and how big of a pain it is to re install all The Sims 2 and expansions😵😩 I have a 20 year old game save that has never looked sooo good with custom graphicsrule config tweak 2560x1080 ultrawide resolution.

can u even open the help menu?

I hate Big Rigs 2 because there is no "You're Winner". One star.

Just imagine that React os get update like windows 11. I literally gonna switch to react os

Funny thing about the Dell fan issue on Linux, that is still a problem on Alienware laptops on Linux. Like the fan will work, but you cannot control the thermal or fan noise mode. You have to boot into Windows to change it. Safe to say I regret buying an Alienware laptop. Thing doesn't even have a MUX switch or a DisplayPort output wired to the GPU (instead of HDMI).

Might be worth noting, but for a short amount of time I tested out Windows 7 with a 13th gen Intel CPU (shame I had to use a modded ISO with USB drivers set up, and use a USB Ethernet adapter to get networking working) on a spare SSD, and I had luck getting a 6900XT working with relatively decent performance (a shame that you can't use VRR though). I'd imagine much like how the 750Ti became a quick recommendation for an XP rig, that a 6500 or 6650XT are gonna become as such for Windows 7.

Lmao I run Windows7 on my main PC

"I hope windows 11 will be up to the same standard" Oh how this aged like milk. Great video though. Windows truly peaked at 7 as far as design and consistency goes. I can't see Microsoft beating it as currently they have their focus fixated on new gimmicks like AI instead of basic functionality, diverting resources away from user experience. Which is why it comes as a surprise to no-one when the finished product is, indeed, underwhelming when compared to it's previous generations.

Windows 7 is not Retro computer windows 98 is real Retro computer

I had that mouse back in 2013/2014, I loved it

dude i have the same gpu as the windows 7 gaming pc

This unfortunately happens way too many times... Only when a UA-camr has stopped uploading do their videos get a wider reach... I hope this UA-camr is still there, reading these comments, and ends up feeling like they want to post again c:

Hell nah gtx 260 beats 730 in fear I get 300 stable fps on my card

bro got the tarkov gpu
