I think people are mad at me because of linux lol. Sorry to those guys! I guess I'll give a small explanation. As of right now, most of the programs I use are not natively supported via Linux. YES, I know there's wine, but ultimately I'll have to do a bunch of workarounds to get linux to run my programs correctly (Office 365, Vegas Pro, Paint.net, etc.). I could rely on the workarounds, but I'm not guaranteed it will be stable or smooth. I could also go for some alternative programs, but really this hassle is not worth a switch to linux in my opinion. People have different preferences and I respect those who use Linux, it's just not something for me ;) Hopefully this clears some stuff up.
What I miss more than Win7 UI? The actual feeling of excitement when a new Windows version was released. Grew up with Win95 and Win98SE... Upgrade to WinXP was a signifcant leap forward in UI design. Felt like a jumping into future back then. Then upgraded to Win7, it was a significant leap forward too. Subsequent Windows releases felt going sideways if not backwards.
cant agree more,, win 98 was the win i was using then xp came out and oh God i spend 10 years on it, then went to 7 cuz of security and shit, and it was realllly great, win 8 cant say more than that dude and it felt, less alive, win 10 the flat biring ugly design and the fps drops on each update,, now i will eaither back to 7 or go to linux and do xp-7 theme
Windows 10/11 is a dumpster fire of an OS. They're trying to be Linux, Android and Apple all at the same time.

Windows 10 for me is just, broken, buggy and altogether horrible. It also broke my install of macOS and it won't let me reinstall it :(
Same. My laptop use W7 and now that I have W10, it reached its max update and now, it suffers from corrupted profile. I refuse to make another account because 1) that's not how you fix a corrupted profile and 2), we have made another account because the start buttons didn't work and we are forced to log out. My dad is worried that I use my laptop and that it is slow. My laptop will work fine with W7. Why are they injected with these fake wisdom?
The thing I miss in the newer windows versions are that we can't select older themes, like windows 7 have a kinda windows 98 theme and some other customization things. If windows 10 had some kinda windows 7 theme and start menu I would absolutely use it
Agreed. I cant describe how the incomplete windows 7 bootup animation cuz the system had already booted up used to put a smile on my face when I had just updated to an ssd.
6:59 Windows 7 start menu is the best Start Menu ever made. I've used a lot of Start Menus, menus in Linux, all the different versions in Windows, and ClassicShell menu which is an app that replaces the start menu in Windows. And hands down the one in Windows 7 is the best.
I have windows 10 , but i want to switch back to windows 7 , but am afraid it wont get any update anymore , how can i still get updates for windows 7 ?
And that's the big difference to Windows XP, which makes those two systems incomparable: Windows XP was the last Windows OS to use the NT 5 Kernel. With Windows Vista, NT 6.0 was introduced. And even though Windows 7 is called Windows 7, it still uses the same Kernel. So does Windows 8.1 and even 10 (even though they renamed it some years ago) still uses NT 6. When Windows XP reached the End Of Life , it was visibly out of date. It became increasingly difficult to make software compatible for NT 5 and NT 6 at the same time. And not only that: With NT 6, the jump to 64 Bit was made, which made programs much more powerful. There was also a 64-bit version for XP, but nobody really wanted it, because it didn't work very well. You could also see it on the surface, since Windows Vista also introduced anti-aliasing, while with XP you can still see every pixel. So the jump from XP to 7 was massive. But what about 10? It's not really different. It's still a 64-bit system, has the same kernel, and looks pretty much the same. In my opinion, the support for Windows 7 ended way too early considering that the outdated XP was supported for 13 years, so over two years longer than originally planned. Windows 7, on the other hand, was shot down on time after 10 years. Microsoft is not interested in the fact that a good quarter of all PCs worldwide still run Windows 7, nor that it is actually still very modern. It's a punch in the face in my opinion. Windows 10 isn't that successful because it's good. It is so successful because there is no alternative. And that's actually really sad. By the way: In 2017 Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for newer hardware. You're able to install it and it works just fine, but you won't get any more updates, because Microsoft blocks it. To be clear: Windows 8.1 was less than four years old at the time. A system that was almost as good as new was shot down to keep the numbers of Windows 10 increasing.
I have two systems on my PC, one is Windows 10, and another one is Windows 7! Windows 7 working on 970 pro SSD extremely satisfying for me, and I mainly use Win 7.
I knew there were others... windows 10 looks bad. it's like new cars... people who drive them don't care, but people who work on them find them annoying and tedious.

Pheww thank you for saying this! I'm also a fan of Windows 7 and sure, there are some minor inconveniences like no colorful emoji support etc, but it is STILL the best windows OS I've tried yet. Windows 10 was horribly buggy and bloated, not to mention UGLY with those huge tabs and all, why the material style changes always veer toward more bulky and ugly, I don't understand! Windows 7 has the best customization options and it's light and pretty!
i switched to windows 10 from windows 7. my laptop became so slow so i had to buy a new one yeah its been a year and i decided to open my old laptop and my god its making my headache seeing windows 7 😂
Imho it's all about the hardware and designation assigned to your specific PC. For ex. I know a person that has 10yo working XP because he's converting old tapes to digital files. Or, a person who has win7 and loves retro games won't dare to reinstall them on win10 because they run better on his older hardware (yes, such thing exists).
Yes very true I'm old school like that to but I don't game anymore I you to Ultra hard Tekken & play drums for many people now my 14 year old niece does all that kind of stuff♋.
Yep, I just made similar setup, I don't know why but I could not install Hauppage capture card and its software under Windows 7. With XP and P4 it just works. Now I have designated P4 box just for video capture.
Still running Windows 7 on my main desktop. Still getting updates with the ESU patch until 2023 and even until 2024 due to a Windows Embedded POSReady 7 being updated until October 8, 2024. I'm happy to see that there are still Win7 users in 2020!
1:11 I'm a huge fan of Windows Vista, it's a very safe, solid, stable OS, and also the beautiest one i've ever seen. I think the only reason to many people disliked it was because they ran it in poor hardware, like machines with 512MB of RAM and/or not enoughtly good video cards, expecting it to run as fast as Windows XP on the same old computer, blaming the OS, forgetting that Vista does a lot more than XP, and due to this, it needs more resources to do its tasks.
@Steven Morris But having WHQL drivers was the key strength of Vista. Previous MS OS were unprofessional toys .. the much loved W7 was simply a polished version of Vista
The latest update on Windows 8.1 removes the option to create offline accounts. Microsoft is corrupted Edit: This is my second most liked comment ever. Ty guys so much 😀
There is on my second laptop i use windows 8 (without .1) and turn off the program of update in Task Manager (Start+R\msconfig\ 3 line \ update windows ).
Actually the cascading menus from Win 95 & XP were better for power users with lots of programs who like to organize them visually, but you can do that with Win 7 as well with Classic Shell.
They should just admit their mistake and return classic start menu completely. They still didn't accept reality, they are returning it very slowly because they want to mask their mistake. Classic start menu is still superior to modern start menu in case of effectivity of using your PC. Also MS still didn't fix search, it's broken since Windows Vista, I don't understand it.....search worked fine last time in XP.
@@Pidalin they probably won't fix it, mainly because the classic start menu doesn't fit with Windows 10, and as much as I hate its UI its design is what makes it Windows 10.

As someone who uses Windows XP on one of their main laptops, I agree. You do you. You can use whatever OS you want as long as you like it and you’ve made it secure. Keep on Windows 7-ing.
So happy you made this video. You included pretty much everything I think about Windows 10. After 5 years of usage, I still don't really like it, and it feels like it still has plenty of pediatric diseases and optimization problems, not even talking about those resource killer background tasks that Win10 is constantly runnig anyways. Windows 7 just felt so complete with a very well designed and user-friendly UI, that is consistent and logical. I've recently got an old netbook as a secondary device for my trips, which I installed Win7 Pro on. I was shocked how good Win7 actually was, it's a joy to use after years of only interacting with Win10. I'm planning on downgrading my 7-year-old PC as well, and merely keeping Win10 on my main notebook.
I don't know how you see it, but I have a feeling which tells me that sooner or later older Windows versions, Adobe Flash and discontinued media like VHS tapes will return. For example many people wanted Vinyl Records to come back and in 2012 they returned to the market. So there's probably a bigger chance that all of these discontinued things will make a comeback.
"I have to say Windows 10 is finally maturing properly" And then they announced Windows 11... At least 11 is going/trying to fix some of your complaints. 11 is removing live tiles, and Cortana is off by default, it's not even in the new setup. Internet Explorer is finally gone and Paint 3D is also not preinstalled anymore. Plus it's a lot more fluid and faster than Windows 10, with some improvements to tablet mode too like easier rotation.
Windows 11 will be worse spyware than 10 and will force all users to log in with MS accounts and must be run on hardware that has Trusted Platform Module 2.0... Your own computer will not be your property. Read the fine print. Windows 11 is a worse Trojan Horse than even Windows 10 was.

I dislike Gnome, and Ubuntu insisting on removing choice. They are basically turning into the Apple of Linux, the more updates I see the more they are restricting on customization and freedom to choose what options you want enabled or disabled. They are stripping user choice and and making every Ubuntu build basically the same. I would probably suggest trying other Linux distros because after switching to Arch I have never even looked at Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, or any other Debian-based distribution.
I'm a Linux guy but honestly I agree that Win 7 is pretty good and its sad that they cut support. And Linux can be a crap show but at least it's gotten better.

I wouldn't stay on Windows 7 much longer, driver support for many companies is ending due to Microsoft not supporting the legacy OS. Browser support for Edge, Chrome, and Vivaldi ends next month and Nvidia ends support for Windows 7 and 8 in August. Overall the older an operating system gets, the more security vulnerabilities and loss of program support it gets. I really loved Windows 7 and didn't want to move but driver support and the fact Chrome and edge were losing support drew me in to upgrading early this year. I decided to dualboot Windows 7 but I still mainly stay on Windows 10.
You know there's a version of Windows 10 that which i think is a great alternative to WIndows 7 users, it's called Windows 10 LTSC. It's basically windows 10 but it doesn't come with all that bloatware (it doesn't have the windows store preinstalled) and third-party apps. It doesn't have live tiles as well, so that means: - No shitty MS Store apps -No Live Tiles (i still like them) -Less RAM usage(?) -More drive space -No Feature/Quality updates shoved down your throat -No Cortana and the start menu looks similar to Windows 7 which i like.
btw you can actually get live tiles back to LTSC, but you have to get MS Store installed first in unofficial ways, then download any apps that support Live Tiles, and Pin it in Start Menu.
I use windows 10 LTSC 2019, and besides the inconsistency of apps it has no bloatware, doesn't ask you to use a microsoft account unless you literally click manually, is quite stable (first boot you see no tiles at all just the start menu with the essentials classic windows apps) and it only receives security updates. Also it asks me for a domain join, which on LTSC 2019 is basically an offline account but with a different name. (it is probably actually domain join if you are in an enterprise environment which is what this version of 10 was designed for) My PC has 32 GB of RAM and I found that windows 10 LTSC 2019 also uses less ram than windows 7 (surprising) I still use windows 7 on my 1st gen Core i5 laptop however with the ESU bypass. And no, office 2019 does not officially install on windows 7.
@@andremalerba5281 The biggest one is 2019 has a dark theme, but I think that's the only thing I noticed. I was just pointing out that office 2019 doesn't run on 7 and not that you couldn't just get 2016 instead.
The best solution is to keep it offline. When Microsoft ended support, they stopped making updated and patches. An antivirus won't fix that. But if you don't connect to the internet, you never have to worry about viruses, malware, hacks, etc. I use my Windows 7 laptop for Office, media storage, file transfer and plugging in USB and external hard drive to watch movies or play videogames. No internet required.

Its simple, disable problem services that keep ports open though a router like remote desktop ect.. That probably closes up over 95% of any possible future security issues straight away. Do not run IE, Do not download email attachments from spam mail, Dont run keygens, Only access the internet through router with a firewall. The built in windows firewall should be disabled in services, its more risk than its worth. All this security stuff is really just pure FUD to push 10/11. Back in reality the only security update you NEED for 7 on a personal home use computer is the vault 7 patch which has nothing to do with hackers found a way in and microsoft came through with a fix, that was a backdoor that was built in by MS for the government, you can be 100% certain they did the same for 10/11 and that the patch for 7/8 did not actually removed it either, its just back to supposedly being unknown to those who should not know. Its really just common sense, if you don't have network ports listening and you know what the files are that you open/run then there is no vector of attack. So kill services that have listener ports up, the only part of windows that should be listening is for lan file sharing if you need that. Again its common sense, I'd treat 10, xp, linux or anything else in the exact same way. Intel ME or the AMD equivalent and all this UEFI stuff is a far greater security risk than someone running properly configured win7 or xp. Those things have authority above the OS and ME has already been proven to be backdoored and then brushed off as oh thats just for sysadmins or asset control as it comes out that intel was required to make a way for the US gov to disable it and provide hardware that doesn't include it at all. But hey, keep worrying about some windows patches for stuff normal home users never use anyway.
Windows 7's UI was the last one actually made for a desktop/laptop, and it looked good and was good to use. Windwos 8's UI was a goodn't implementation of the Metro UI, a touchscreen UI on desktop.

6:59 Windows 7 start menu is the best Start Menu ever made. I've used a lot of Start Menus, menus in Linux, all the different versions in Windows, and ClassicShell menu which is an app that replaces the start menu in Windows. And hands down the one in Windows 7 is the best.
Windows 7 is still usable, nothing to feel weird.
I always thinking about keeping my PC safe - it's running Win7... before all COVID comes to being.
I have windows 10 , but i want to switch back to windows 7 , but am afraid it wont get any update anymore , how can i still get updates for windows 7 ?
@NotBot171 i will remain on windows 10 , but my cpu usage is always at 40 % , i have a PC: i3 8100 , 16 gb ram , rx 580 8gb graphic card
And that's the big difference to Windows XP, which makes those two systems incomparable: Windows XP was the last Windows OS to use the NT 5 Kernel. With Windows Vista, NT 6.0 was introduced. And even though Windows 7 is called Windows 7, it still uses the same Kernel. So does Windows 8.1 and even 10 (even though they renamed it some years ago) still uses NT 6. When Windows XP reached the End Of Life , it was visibly out of date. It became increasingly difficult to make software compatible for NT 5 and NT 6 at the same time. And not only that: With NT 6, the jump to 64 Bit was made, which made programs much more powerful. There was also a 64-bit version for XP, but nobody really wanted it, because it didn't work very well. You could also see it on the surface, since Windows Vista also introduced anti-aliasing, while with XP you can still see every pixel.
So the jump from XP to 7 was massive. But what about 10? It's not really different. It's still a 64-bit system, has the same kernel, and looks pretty much the same. In my opinion, the support for Windows 7 ended way too early considering that the outdated XP was supported for 13 years, so over two years longer than originally planned. Windows 7, on the other hand, was shot down on time after 10 years. Microsoft is not interested in the fact that a good quarter of all PCs worldwide still run Windows 7, nor that it is actually still very modern. It's a punch in the face in my opinion. Windows 10 isn't that successful because it's good. It is so successful because there is no alternative. And that's actually really sad.
By the way: In 2017 Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for newer hardware. You're able to install it and it works just fine, but you won't get any more updates, because Microsoft blocks it. To be clear: Windows 8.1 was less than four years old at the time. A system that was almost as good as new was shot down to keep the numbers of Windows 10 increasing.
@NotBot171 Wrong.
I already had the fear being the only one using Windows 7
I have two systems on my PC, one is Windows 10, and another one is Windows 7! Windows 7 working on 970 pro SSD extremely satisfying for me, and I mainly use Win 7.

1:11 I'm a huge fan of Windows Vista, it's a very safe, solid, stable OS, and also the beautiest one i've ever seen. I think the only reason to many people disliked it was because they ran it in poor hardware, like machines with 512MB of RAM and/or not enoughtly good video cards, expecting it to run as fast as Windows XP on the same old computer, blaming the OS, forgetting that Vista does a lot more than XP, and due to this, it needs more resources to do its tasks.
I agree, also I think the whole issue with OEM computers having the sticker Windows Vista capable made it worse.

I've used vista from 2009 to 2015 and it worked perfectly (dell XPS 420)

@Pikachuber depends but however McAfee is feeling kinda bloat because its sometime spam ads or message about not activated (mostly the school pc i saw), instead of that, most people recommended Kaspersky Security Cloud, which few youtubers used it as alternative to avast (note you have to sign up to use it).
bro windows 10 keeps on getting errors and breaking after 2 months for me
I just want the aero glass theme on windows 11.
I wouldn't stay on Windows 7 much longer, driver support for many companies is ending due to Microsoft not supporting the legacy OS. Browser support for Edge, Chrome, and Vivaldi ends next month and Nvidia ends support for Windows 7 and 8 in August. Overall the older an operating system gets, the more security vulnerabilities and loss of program support it gets. I really loved Windows 7 and didn't want to move but driver support and the fact Chrome and edge were losing support drew me in to upgrading early this year. I decided to dualboot Windows 7 but I still mainly stay on Windows 10.
*doesnt want to upgrade
*somehow also uses chrome
bro lmfao

Lol!

You know there's a version of Windows 10 that which i think is a great alternative to WIndows 7 users, it's called Windows 10 LTSC. It's basically windows 10 but it doesn't come with all that bloatware (it doesn't have the windows store preinstalled) and third-party apps. It doesn't have live tiles as well, so that means:
- No shitty MS Store apps
-No Live Tiles (i still like them)
-Less RAM usage(?)
-More drive space
-No Feature/Quality updates shoved down your throat
-No Cortana
and the start menu looks similar to Windows 7 which i like.
btw you can actually get live tiles back to LTSC, but you have to get MS Store installed first in unofficial ways, then download any apps that support Live Tiles, and Pin it in Start Menu.

I'm still using Windows 7 as my daily driver! I hope I can use it for as long as possible.
This convinced me to get a Windows 7 VM lol
it convinced me to partition my ssd with win7
I am downloading it right now.

SAMEE
windows 10 is much secure and safe as it comes with security updates.... who would save us from from viruses in windows 7
Youre not alone that is using windows 7, i use it too!!
@ivan roblox I use Windows 7 to!!!
Same,I hate windows 10 cuz everytime I play an online game,Windows update just came out of nothing, and im lose '
I think Windows 11 is the mature version of Windows 10, as windows 11 still appears to be the same OS but is just restyled and rethinked.
Need a pretty new machine to run 11.
and bloated, adware and spyware filled, more resource consuming, and more annoying.
well its 2022 , and you did it! installing my windows 7 now. T_T thanks
It's been 7 years since I used Windows 7 (2012-2019)
I use Windows 10 now

Nobody: Asked
@@lemau8458 Nobody : Told You
I use windows 10 LTSC 2019, and besides the inconsistency of apps it has no bloatware, doesn't ask you to use a microsoft account unless you literally click manually, is quite stable (first boot you see no tiles at all just the start menu with the essentials classic windows apps) and it only receives security updates.
Also it asks me for a domain join, which on LTSC 2019 is basically an offline account but with a different name. (it is probably actually domain join if you are in an enterprise environment which is what this version of 10 was designed for)
My PC has 32 GB of RAM and I found that windows 10 LTSC 2019 also uses less ram than windows 7 (surprising)
I still use windows 7 on my 1st gen Core i5 laptop however with the ESU bypass.
And no, office 2019 does not officially install on windows 7.
But what features does office 2019 have that 2016 is lacking?
@@andremalerba5281 The biggest one is 2019 has a dark theme, but I think that's the only thing I noticed. I was just pointing out that office 2019 doesn't run on 7 and not that you couldn't just get 2016 instead.
I tried upgrading to Windows 7, but there are no drivers and the system doesn't recognize anything even USB ports.
I still use Windows 7, and I always will. The best solution is to install an antivirus.
BypassESU and Malwarebytes.
The best solution is to keep it offline. When Microsoft ended support, they stopped making updated and patches. An antivirus won't fix that. But if you don't connect to the internet, you never have to worry about viruses, malware, hacks, etc. I use my Windows 7 laptop for Office, media storage, file transfer and plugging in USB and external hard drive to watch movies or play videogames. No internet required.
@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 1.) BypassESU lets you use updates until 2023.
2.) Windows Defender's security updates are not much different from the one's an AV's definition updates get.
3.) I've been using Windows 7 with Malwarebytes and BypassESU, while Malwarebytes actually works Windows Defender doesn't even have real-time scanning.
Its simple, disable problem services that keep ports open though a router like remote desktop ect.. That probably closes up over 95% of any possible future security issues straight away. Do not run IE, Do not download email attachments from spam mail, Dont run keygens, Only access the internet through router with a firewall. The built in windows firewall should be disabled in services, its more risk than its worth. All this security stuff is really just pure FUD to push 10/11. Back in reality the only security update you NEED for 7 on a personal home use computer is the vault 7 patch which has nothing to do with hackers found a way in and microsoft came through with a fix, that was a backdoor that was built in by MS for the government, you can be 100% certain they did the same for 10/11 and that the patch for 7/8 did not actually removed it either, its just back to supposedly being unknown to those who should not know. Its really just common sense, if you don't have network ports listening and you know what the files are that you open/run then there is no vector of attack. So kill services that have listener ports up, the only part of windows that should be listening is for lan file sharing if you need that. Again its common sense, I'd treat 10, xp, linux or anything else in the exact same way. Intel ME or the AMD equivalent and all this UEFI stuff is a far greater security risk than someone running properly configured win7 or xp. Those things have authority above the OS and ME has already been proven to be backdoored and then brushed off as oh thats just for sysadmins or asset control as it comes out that intel was required to make a way for the US gov to disable it and provide hardware that doesn't include it at all. But hey, keep worrying about some windows patches for stuff normal home users never use anyway.
windows 7 is superior we don't care about what Microsoft says

Windows 7's UI was the last one actually made for a desktop/laptop, and it looked good and was good to use.
Windwos 8's UI was a goodn't implementation of the Metro UI, a touchscreen UI on desktop.
Windows 10's UI is microsoft wanting to fix windows 8 by mixing it with desktop UI which turned out to be bad.
Windows 11's UI is better than 10's, but is still not really optimized for desktop usage.
Solution? Bring back windows 7
When you made the comment Windows 11 was barely officially out and now the preview is out and it's the best os ever made
@@geforceexperience3861 Like hell it is. The best OS is Windows 7 ultimate 64bit closely followed by Windows XP professional. Anything after Windows 7 is shit, typed this on a windows 10 desktop.
I agree with your entire video and everything you said. I'm still running 7, for over 12 years with no plans to change...
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Windows 11 and if you're considering an upgrade at this point.
Im not upgrading i cant even upgrade anyway i have dell inspiron 570
11 is worse then 10
Windows 11 adds basically no advantages over Windows 10, it has a worse UI and removed some of Windows 10's features. i know that i, myself will not be upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

I'm using both OS and I must say that Windows 7 is still the smoothest between the two and you nailed it about the security issues. If a user won't go to a sketchy site then he or she will be just fine.
