This ISN'T Windows 7? - Classic 7

- Many people miss the UI and theme of Windows 7. However, Windows 7 is not recommended for use in 2024 as it's out of date and no longer receives security patches. In this video, we'll be taking a look at Classic 7, which is a version of Tiny10 that looks almost identical to Windows 7.

move dude, i gotta finish my fourth grade homework on that computer
You saying 4th grade homework on a Windows 7 system is making me feel like actual dust right now. Thanks for that.
Pretty sure my 4th grade computers still had windows 98 running on them, in fact I actually remember telling a friend about how my brand new computer had XP on it and was describing how high tech it looked in comparison...
@@Reds-Retros Well, I think that the few PCs that we had in kindergarten to play a few learning games had Windows 98. I remember the color palette of the desktop 😅
@@Reds-Retros My man! Same lmao. The Family Computer (talk about an ancient term) I grew up on started as a 98 & ME machine until we eventually upgraded to XP around the time I started middle school iirc. Windows Vista felt like the goddamn future when it came out because shit was transparent for the first time 😂 Hold shit we're so cooked.
@@dunngunkadoid I still think vista and Windows 7 have the most timeless looking interface, especially compared to all the versions that came before it. The transparent, glassy premium look still really appeals to me, much more so than the blocky, minimalist kind of designs we've been getting since the 2010s... Except now things are getting slightly rounder again 😂
@@Reds-Retros haha I totally agree! Although we might be biased on which is the best, but hey what's wrong with having favorites with stuff like this? I remember when we got our first Vista machine, it felt like the goddamn future because things were transparent and the start menu button was round and peaked up above the taskbar lol. Maybe the glassy transparent look will come back when AR computers start being a thing 😂
I love how they themed Firefox into accient Chrome

ancient chrome is the futuristic looking chrome logo in 2008

So basically it's a debloated Win10 with StartIsBack and a tweaker application. StartAllBack is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here.
startisback being the GOAT
there’s this project called Nostalgia ‘09 which is even more 1:1 than this. i recommend you check it out! it restores many things like the initial setup, the login screen and security option screen, the libraries in explorer, all the themes and colors, all aeroglass is 1:1, everything is very accurate its the most 1:1 mod and it’ll be out hopefully by the end of this month
I could not find anything except a dead subreddit and a github with 2 repos, which don't have ahything related to what you're saying.
could you please send a link to a project's website or something?
nostalgia 09 is not released

I'm running Windows 10 22H2 and I use all those mods and my system even FEELS like Windows 7. It's awesome
What are u using?
@@jeffboi6959 For the over-all look I use Windowblinds (the ONLY not free app I use) along with Open Shell for the start menu, Windhawk for added effects, WinAero Tweaker, and Xwidget for the gadgets. I also used Customizer God to change my Sound and Network icons in my taskbar
@@jeffboi6959 I'm using Stardock Windowblinds (The ONLY paid app the rest are free) for the over-all look, Open Shell for the start menu, WinAeroTweaker for many small tweaks, Windhawk to get the classic "File Copying" animation and other things, Windows 7 IconPack By 2013Windows8.1 to change all icons, Xwidget to get "Non Hackable" Windows 7 gadgets and manually changed the sound scheme with original sounds I found on the net. I also used CustomizerGod to change my SOUND and NETWORK icons in my taskbar. I even made my own Xwidget gadgets. One is an icon for the desktop, that when clicked opens a fake Windows 7 WinVer window, and I made one that simply shows the Windows 7 Ultimate Edition Build 7100 watermark. I have desktop screenshots but I don't know how you'd be able to see them. I have them online but I don't think YT allows links in comments. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll give the link.

All for nothing
wow thats so cool and its even tiny 10 so this is a very big W
I can do much better with 11 lol

On the new version, it’s Windows 10 LTSC IOT
3:17 that is a sliverfox theme which recreates old 2012 Google chrome
The only thing I'll always miss in these recreations is the old win vista/7 aero animations. Though I'm guessing it's probably hard to replace default animations in windows.
Pre installed Google chrome is definitely something that made me laugh lol.
Anyways it's an awesome project. Legit it's like 1:1 recreation. Looking forward to see updates on this one :D
I know there's a Stardock application to return WindowFX, but IIRC it's paid so that's a shame
I really like how you comment your videos, feels comfy to watch! Keep it up
Windows 7 UI is super fast and responsive. I wish the Windows 11 could somehow inherit from that.
New release of UpdatePack7 (2024.7.10) includes new usb3 drivers for Windows 7!
dude didn't know that you are still posting, also btw thanks for that windows vista activation guide.
3:20 that’s Silverfox
3:10 This Firefox was probably modded to look like Chrome using custom CSS configurations.
hi there, I'm a dev on this project, it's silverfox so it's modded to look like old Google chrome
@@Sealstech Hello, you should try Rinfox a Firefox 115 esr theme that makes it look like internet explorer 8
@@Sealstech goat
There is a simple fix for the black taskbar, you just have to change the personalization color for something else than the default and then change it back
The taskbar looked a Lil bit darker but it won't matter much in the bigger picture.. great work done by modders :)
this would be the 28th time I changed my os. (due to crashes and my linux dualboot dying because of windows's security strength)
Here how to recreate windows 7 and till have it up to date :
1 - install Linux with KDE desktop
2 - install windows 7 theme on it
the best 7 theme doesn't work with plasma 6 yet unfortunately
cringe linux
It'll always look like a down syndrome version of the real deal. Better just going with something entirely different
@@dylon4906 i wish they could do it with Vista, but noone seems to be able to make the widget overlap work quite right
Linux users will jump at any opportunity to tell you they use shitty Linux
Theres a registry hack to enable balloon notifications (win xp/vista/7 notifications)
No link? Bro
Please Restore GUI Customizations that were in 98SE that were lost in XP & 7, allow full proper drag and drop that was in w3.1-7 but lost in 10 and 11
What drag and drop function?
Now do classicVista
starix was originally vista and 95/98 but now it's just 98 so I don't know if we are gonna do that lol
Heya! Admin at the Classic 7 server here.
A developer of the team is working on Vista Reborn, AKA windows 10 made to look like Vista, so stay tuned!
@@idontdrawartagain thats me, project is most likely going to be abandoned or development will be extremely slow
Firefox CSS modding is insanely powerful, you can do so much stuff with it
I believe this is just what I'm running on my Windows PC, turned into an ISO:
UltraUXThemePatcher + Aero10
StartIsBack++
OldNewExplorer
Windhawk + Aerexplorer
DWMBlurGlass
Winaero Tweaker for minor changes
Windows 7 is still receiving extended security updates
Only for a few months... But Windows 10 LTSC 1809 has still 4 years of security updates, and IoT LTSC 2021 still 7 years 😉
@@lylluzzos yes Iot LTSC 2021 is the best alternative, but my point is that this video says that "Windows 7 no longer receives security updates" and that IS A BIG LIE
@@luisx8619 to be precise, the last 3 years of updates (period that will ends in a few months) were not intended for the general public, but only for the paying customers in the enterprise sector
How to get this Firefox theme? I want to use it on my Linux machine :)
its called silverfox! its in its beta stage currently
@@nerdd0g_yeah Thanks a lot! I was looking for something like that for a long time. I tried using Pale Moon with custom themes but Pale Moon is quite sluggish even on a high-end PC, so I returned to Firefox, but really wanted a similar theme. Thanks again!
pretty cool that it turns out win10 is capable of customisation but just through 3rd party tools
You don't know Windhawk?😮
Can I use as main os ?
kind of? if you don't need updates and don't mind reinstalling if we release a new version then yea
this is quite inaccurate, i would recommend reloaded7
@@poplmao we're making 0.2 today, cant guarantee that it'll be uploaded today
@@Sealstech okay, theres still a lot to improve. good job tho
what mic do you use?
i wish someone would do this in KDE plasma
For anyone who's curious, you can also theme Firefox to look like old Firefox via Echelon, lol
This man doing a god work!
It's beautiful
i've manually got my windows 11 to look simmilar. i use fedora mainly right now
Is there an XP themed one?
windows experience by travis
@@micewire danke
you should showcase revert8plus next
is this safe for regular daily use?
of course, it's just run of the mill windows 10, except, but modded with windows 7 themes
@@real_crench I am a bit concerned about the softwares that are used for the customization. Are you sure that it won't make any problem?
Was gonna say kinda gross having Chrome preinstalled, but now that’s just weird. The effort is neat!
Wow this makes windows oh-so-usable !!
Hey bub, is this version with windows defender? Just asking so I can be safe
I'm not bub but I'm a dev, I can't exactly remember but I think it still has it? if tiny10 has it than classic7 will have it
that's removed as well thankfully
ImSwordQueen 10to7, Revert8Plus and Reloaded7 are much more accurate and reliable options. Reloaded7 especially shines in the fact that it uses LTSC 2021 instead of a debloated Windows 10 build
I already have my desktop as a perfect Windows 7 desktop with much better compatibility and I didn't need to download potential info stealers. I also have another desktop that looks exactly like XP and both have the correct transparency, taskbar and it's icons and notification bubbles. Common Linux W.
Finally windows 7 without the windows 7 headaches
i hate that microsoft changed so much the vista style
i still use Windows 7 with Silverfox Extension for FF
Watching this viceo from an actual Windows 7 machine, it looks more legit than mine lol
You didint show us how many processes it runs *facepalm*
Hoping the devs add non xaml uac soon
looks cool but i wouldn't install a custom iso just so i can use something that kind of looks like windows 7. i would rather use a gtk theme for linux
As always, educational purposes only, yada yada, not recommended for commercial purpose or even personal.
good iso but download takes FOREVER
its funny that there isnt microsoft store
Is that Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 ?
No, Tiny10 is based on the Retail SKU. Last I checked it was based on 22H2 and you couldn't update it with anything, even security patches.
On the new version, it is on this version. It’s just tiny 10.
@@Vex22778 Did you mean the newest version of this project could use the version I'd mention above ?
I've seen a few other people say this, but I wouldn't really put my trust on Tiny 10. Instead if you want a Windows 7 looking system you should use some linux distro snd customise KDE Plasma to look like Windows 7.
This version of windows feels like a 7 more then an 10 tbh
I'm a dev on this project, we are working on 0.2 soon! we'll sort everything (or most things) out to make it look similar to windows 7
@@Sealstechyes please remove "settings" and make it function like w3.1~7 control panel 100%

Me needs
WIndhawk is a Windows 10 customization tool.
ez
This is garbage ist causing high cpu usage and no its not my computer and also there's random shit popping up and disappearing like Windhawk and a bunch of other glitches.
Just use Linux, you will not regret it
No one wants to do 43 steps to install one application. Linux is retardedly over complicated.
I've seen better
Slight note about Windhawk since it kinda annoyed me: It's not a UWP app but rather just an Electron app (also based off of Visual Studio Code!), it recreates the window topbar instead of using the one provided by Windows, and thus makes it look like the topbar from Windows 10
4:32 iirc windhawk is based on electron with vscode for the UI
Just use kde
Won't this break the system even further with too much 3rd party customizations? It might become a lot unstable. A safer option should be to use Linux and customize it to be like Windows 7. It won't be 100% failsafe but it'll be times more stable than Windows itself....
Microsoft needs to go back to its roots honestly nobody is impressed nor likes the stupid shit they keep putting out 😂 they shouldve just kept things how they were in xp/7 and just made it more intuitive in future windows but i guess that just wasn't good enough and they completely had to jerry rig everything as usual 😂
jesus hell this looks uhhh *shit*
No one asked 😑
@@FloatSamplesGT710 your mom asked
@@legofanlovessayori you mom slept 💀💀
honestly, even as the dev your not wrong. It's very inaccurate although I fixed most of the inaccuracies in newer versions and such but I think it could be much better if I put more time into it. I'm mostly just doing this as a passion project though so yk
