Mum tries out Windows 7 (2009)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Diana only just lost her attachment to xp for windows vista yet she's already lost her attachment to windows vista with windows 7. This video differs greatly from our other videos however (don't worry we will go back to our previous format from now on) due to the fact that it only took 2 minutes (we timed it) to complete the tasks.
In this video I mostly show her the features of windows 7 and we talk about microsoft operating systems in general. If she didn't like windows 7 I would not have gone into all this detail. Unless we find another operating system she likes we will stick to our old/orignal "do the tasks with minimal help" format.
Tasks Given:
What time is it?
Write, save and open a text document
What is 36x32
Change the desktop background
Turn off your computer
The mother in this video only ever uses Windows XP running with the classic win95 theme. Would you like to see her try out other operating systems such as mac, linux and old operating systems through history? Then give your suggestions in the comments section.
Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
Windows 7 support has ended.
RIP Windows 7
22.10.2009.-14.01.2020.
I know its sad but seriously ive seen 100 million of these comments i know that windows 7 died
I feel old again My first laptop was an IBM Thinkpad T41 and then a piece of shit Compaq Presairo CQ42 with Windows 7
yo windows end of support is literally my birthday
I hate how Microsoft is forcing everyone on Windows 10. Tbh, Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 the more you use it.
@randomz I still have a 2009 PC that running Windows 7 using a HD5970
Look at the thumbnail
Mum:looks at her thumb
Everyone:She’s a little confused but got the spirit
I think Windows 7 was the best operating system yet. Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 are good but they lost their transparency and glow, and that's what I like about Windows 7 and Vista. But I think 7 is just a bit better than Vista.
I like XP
attilaevil You can download aero glass for Win 8.1+
DanPlayz Jakovljevic Windows 10 has some bloatware, and cortana, checking updates and windows defender slows it down. The simplicity was lost and even with a gamer/buisness PC it runs terribly. Even my park laptop is slow with it. #Windows7
It lost support now :( and I decided to upgrade to 8 then 10, I got used to 8 and 10 is more like 7

Windows 7 is absolute perfection.
for us veterans :) made for us ^.^
Yes. I agree.
It was nice while it was there, but Windows 10 just looks a lot better.
@@johnsimpsen5 Well that's your opinion.
words cannot describe how true this comment is
"maybe the castle blew up in that scene"
It wasn’t even a castle, it was an ordinary house next to a lighthouse on a rocky hill in the beach, possibly Maine.
Elijah Torres well you could of watched the video and Diana corrects herself
I was being sarcastic!
9:31 "And you're thinking: Oh i wonder what's happening with Internet Explorer.." - said no one ever
***** You have one of those comments I'd imagine to be at the top with about 300 likes xD
harryz567
lol :D
Your Mum is the best on UA-cam, God bless her
Windows 8 was the first OS I recorded her trying. Infact this channels inspiration started off with "Diana hates windows 8 and will never upgrade from windows xp. Can we find an alternative for Diana so she can update from xp without moving to windows 8?" This lead us to ubuntu which she liked more than windows 8 but since she said "windows 8 seems like its the first version of windows and every version has been an improvement on it" I got her to try windows 1.01... Then we kept doing more OS's.

windows 7 and vista are the most legendary os of windows
Using 7 as my main OS in 2022.
I use(d) it on my main pc too. But rn it's in service, and if it can be repaired, i plan on using it
I use Windows 7 now, im surprised how usable it is even though its 14 years old
"Have a look at the thumbnails and tell me what you think"
*mum looks at her thumbnails*
lmao
Windows 7 and Vista are still my favorites to this day
Still the best version of Windows!
Is sad that windows 7 is going to die soon....😭
It's just MS ending support - it'll still work the same. People moan about lack of security patches, but in reality the risk of a massive security breach is very small.
@@WindowsOnWindows true, i'm running windows 7 on my computer and i will continue using it, i love xp, vista and 7
windows 8 is just horrible imo, and windows 10 is spyware [plus it forces you to update the system]
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Agreed!
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Ye And Windows 10 Just Sneaked.
I miss Windows 7
I plan to do this when I get the Microsoft surface next year with windows pro....so stay tuned till then.
still staying tuned

windows xp error edition
Thanks for the compliments and nice idea about making your own OS with multiple GUI choices.
I love how his mum is willing to talk about OS lol weird topic (for most mums) but normal for us tech geeks lol
7 was the best of all time. It was built with every component in mind and everything to work together. It was polished. Everything WORKED. What would have completed the whole thing is the Windows Logo from Vista at startup returning and perhaps something cool-looking for your first login. Think Welcome to OS X
And Windows 7 PCs worked together. And not just for one person or a family or at home. It worked for everyone, no matter what edition you had. If you have all of your company's PCs running 7 it's a beautiful experience- just like Macs today. It's really sad what has happened to Windows- 7 was the golden age.
I liked XP
I had vista never had stability issues
bomb8406 wow that sucks i never realy had an issue with windows vista but i upgraded to windows 7 performance is better now my computer broke so i bought a new laptop and now i'm forced to use windows 8 i'm not spending 100USD more to down grade
Don't use 8, take it back as you should get a software refund. Then install Linux, ReactOS or a copy of 7
evel766 I said, i like Windows 8. I use Windows 7.
@Szymonthebests Gamer true it's full of crap
I did
Still using that OS. Windows 7 works just fine, but no more updates for later computer builds. I tried upgrading to Windows 10 on the Windows 7 machine, but that upgrade had instability issues as well as early problems with drivers. I have a new computer running Windows 10, but that is a straight Windows 10 install no upgrade. No crash problems/no conflicts. Windows 7 probably wouldn't have the drivers for that computer, anyway.
Actually, windows 7 is my favourite modern version of windows
@Troy Buenteo Be careful. It's still relatively safe now, but Windows 7 will get more dangerous to use as time goes on.
Me too windows 7 is way better than a vista
Agreed but problem is that support for windows 7 is no more if u get a virus ur screwed just a heads up people
I had it too
"modern" not that modern anymore but still an amazing version of windows and definitely my favorite as well.
2009: New Windows 7, Let's have a look
2022: That is old system, Already Ended 2 years ago.
A new look on windows 11
in the consumer preview, there was Aero Glass, but on the final release of 8, the windows are solid pastel colors.
What is your computer, a potato
Maybe, but I love aero
Do you seriously think I'm 11 and don't have a computer?
People's opinions differ, so I don't have a problem with you not liking aero
I don't find it sluggish at all. Usually there is something else to blame for it being sluggish.
Thanks for the compliment. We really appreciate it.
I REALY LOVE WINDOWS 7!!!!!
I try to avoid telling my mum about the operating system lots but since she finished the tasks in 2 minutes I thought "why not tell her about windows 7" (the operating system she wants to upgrade to). The only reason I did it for this operating system is because I used windows 7 myself and it's my favorite operating system. Since I know so much about it that made it easy to share info and win7 features with my mum. I don't know about linux so I would never be able to do the same with linux.
First like and first reply?
I know that now... It makes me furious they removed transparency.
I showed her stuff at the end of the videos because she had already completed the tasks and liked the operating system. Since she currently uses xp windows 7 would be a good upgrade choice since she could stick with windows and be much more up to date in what operating system she uses.
"Windows Vista, released in 2007, it's support, it's main support ended April 10 2012. The extended support ends in April 11, 2017." "Oh okay, that's still a while away"
Look at the time now.
Okay, early goodbyes from me to you, Vista!
RIP windows 7 2009-2020
Windows 7 is the best
Windows 8 is better
RobieboyS No. Windows 8 has an interface that looks like it was made by a 3 year old with crayons
Nope, i do to
Me too, but I might like Windows 10 more once it comes out.
Yuma Tsukumo My mom is the same. I feel windows 7 looks more professional and is a hell of a lot simpler than windows 8
That view from the room-gaaaah! Lucky boy.
best looking operating system for me is windows vista....if i werent using ssd on my laptop i would use vista again....i miss vista every time i start up windows.....
Why not install Vista on the SSD?
IcemanGaming vista doesnt have trim option.
Windows 17 is the best

Windows 7 is the best. Sad that Microsoft is trying to kill it
ah, windows 7 the good old days
I LOVE your videos guys! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to new ones!
Oh dear Windows 7 lost support
I want to "downgrade" to windows 7 from windows 10.
Don’t do that now!
Windows 7 lost support!
lol, "The Castle Blew up and turned into that."
I completely agree: Windows 8 is made for for a touch interface; it's garbage without it. Windows 7 is made for a mouse. That being said, if I wanted to have fun on my tablet, I'd use 8. If I wanted speed and efficacy, I'd use 7.
Totally. I totally agree.
But some games have better performance on Windows 8/8.1 sometimes.
Use Vista! Shaun Johnson There were issues (that I never encountered, and most of them can be fixed easily) but they were fixed in SP1 and SP2 but since people didn't like Vista (I loved it) they didn't have time to test the other service packs so they couldn't find a difference. Vista is very good if you have a fast computer.
Taylor Rosenfeld exactly. I have a 2008 high end computer and it ran perfectly with sp2.
Shaun Johnson then windows 10 is for both
This just shows off how amazing and easy to use windows 7 is. On windows 10 everything is just "what's this?"
And also "why this?"
@@sovietgamer6214 exactly lol

karekas! Say whaaa. My oldest pc is 6 years old and i threw it out

windows 10 is basically a harder to use, more bloated windows 7 that had a gangbang with windows 8
I just installed windows 7 on my main PC because i couldn't forget the beauties of it.
i approve of windows 7
hahahahahahaha
@@Windows-ud1pi you suck aeros better
uwu best os boi
Your E bux
No she did not, you are E Bux! lol
Yes you are totally correct. After looking at windows 8 again I see that the windows are no longer transparent. That really is sad.
I wish they still supported windows XP. Its really one of the best when it comes to compatibility, and its very user friendly, But it is somewhat outdated, but that can be changed with a new service pack.
XP, unfortunately, was very unfriendly to me.
I use XP on my school computer, it's a 7 year old computer and the system runs well.
The weird thing, I'm still getting updates on it. I thought it was discontinued, but I got a Windows Update last month
animowany111 You may be getting updates for microsoft programs that are still supported, like word 2007.
***** That's possible, I use Office 2007 on it.
I use Microsoft office 2010 on my windows xø computer
I did ;) it's awesome that we finally got a video reply. You are officially the first person to do a video reply ;)
1:38 a little beega and brita
I put Win7 Ultimate on my older desktop a few months before end of support and was amazed at how much faster and snappier it was compared to 10 and 11 on the same machine. Even Windows 8.1 was a lot better for performance than 10 and 11. Such a shame we have to abandon these older better Operating systems.
lol Im on Windows 7 Ultimate right now.
Kim-Yannick Jürs
hell yeah! I am not paying for that.
Same. But I made it lite
Leader Wolf
what do you mean you made it "lite"?
+Kyle Greig I used a program called rt se7en lite and a windows 7 ultimate iso and cut out a bunch of features I didn't need. then I compressed it into one bootable iso file that was only a little less than 700MB
+Kim-Yannick Jürs Thanks :)
*This makes me want to upgrade my computer to Windows 7*
I think you should
Who Is Still Using Windows Vista Or 7 In 2021 ?
Write ''Vista'' If You Use Vista, Write ''7'' If You Use Windows 7.

I'll just say virtual machine from now on. And yes... She is becoming quite well trained to use a range of operating systems now. Much better than when she first started
I absolutely love the aesthetics of vista.
faaaaannntastic :D
Heh I didn't think of that. I basically thought "I can't get her to test out my windows 7 because It has all my applications on it" but I didn't think that making a fresh user would wipe the slate giving her a clean unmodified windows 7.
Hmm, Will osfirsttimer reply to me if I reply on his 8 year old comment?
Seriously, why are people still using XP
They don't wanna change. Lol
Because it's really stable and reliable. And it had the first *modern* appearance of the windows where as anything before had a grey 90s style windows. Windows XP was bad in it's first release, where as after the Service Packs came out, it was better.
fabian999ification like Vista with SP2? like 8 with 8.1?
fabian999ification ITS NOT STable dumbass
tech OS It may not be stable for you but its stable on others
The Operating System tested in the video was Windows 7 Ultimate and the Operating System that I use is Windows 7 Professional.
Try out windows 11 in the future.

In the beginning a "Restart Now" dialog box showed up. Just perfect.
toshiba windows 7
What I am referring to is windows longhorn before the development reset in 2004. Check out the "development of windows vista" page on wikipedia. Longhorn started as incremental updates to windows xp and eventually became its own OS "longhorn". This OS became unstable by 2004 so they decided to scrap it and restart making the successor to xp. The new "from scratch" version of longhorn was still called longhorn for a few more builds until they renamed it vista closer to release.
I somehow can move gadgets all over on vista
You have always been able to. VISTA FTW! superstar64
i do have sp2 on vista
***** Nah, it's cool. I've used Vista for 8 years. I also downgraded from Windows 8 to Windows Vista.
***** Vista is not bad and never was. People really complained about UAC and Digital Driver Signing. Both which could easily be fixed. I never had a problem with it. The specs of computers were really getting advanced at that time, so it was about time for a new computer, and they weren't that expensive. I have never got a blue screen of death while using Vista, so I don't know why people don't like it. It's just like saying Windows 95 was bad just to keep the entire rhythm of good and bad. Kinda goes like this:
Windows 1:Good
Windows 2:Bad
Windows 3 (3.1):Good
Windows 95: Bad
Windows 98: Good
Windows ME (which was after Windows 2K):Bad
Windows XP: Good
Windows Vista: Bad
Windows 7: Good
Windows 8: Bad
People just find stuff to complain about. They would complain if there was nothing to complain about.
Taylor Rosenfeld
Windows 1: Bad
Windows 2: Bad
Windows 3 (3.1): Bad
Windows 95: Good
Windows ME: N/A
Windows XP: Good
Windows Vista: Good
Windows 7: Good
Windows 8: Bad
Windows 10: Good
Because I get my mum to test operating systems out of the box and my version of windows 7 has all my stuff on it so its not out of the box.
That's nice! teaching your mother about computers =)
your house has an amazing view of the ocean, you're lucky for having such an amazing family too, don't take that for granted bro, appreciate every moment and your family
CPU Meter is so helpful
Watching this on my Dell Studio with Windows 7 Home Premium, not a VM, and the laptop's running good.
I still use Windows 7 on a laptop that's as old as a 6th grader.
Yes, your right. The windows 8 windows on the desktop are not transparent. I only just realized this now.
The castle blew up xD
Thanks for your support. For some reason it wouldn't let me reply to some comments of yours. Maybe I should get her windows 8 then install start 8 on it for her. Eh but then I gotta upgrade 3 times (so she doesn't lose files).
It's awesome that your smart and into tech stuff at your age. Not all 11 year olds know what an operating system is ;)
You're a great salesman in this one too!
I love how it's that everyone loves the odd number cause literally with 8 and 10 people either like them or hate them
You and your mother really evolve during these videos and I start to enjoy more and more the relationship between you and your mother. I believe that this channel get your family closer. ->> GREAT, AWESOME, ASTOUNDING JOB ;)
You got a loyal watcher from Hong Kong! I enjoy watching your videos so much...it has so many usability perspectives that can talk about through your mom's experiments on different OSes... I'm just wondering --- would you worry that your mom would be trained up so much that she will be more familiar how to do things even on completely new OSes?
Also I notice that you use the word "emulation" a lot when you're actually referring to "virtualisation". They are pretty different concepts!
Its daylight saving currently in Australia. The sun begins to set at 8:10pm. When its winter and not dayIight savings it can be nighttime at 5pm
Try virtual box ;)
As for online operating systems we are trying to focus on bootable ones right now.
No try vmware.
Love this series... I'm subscribing! It's like reality tv, only real :-)
(By the way... the Vista shutdown button can be customised to actually shut down rather than going into sleep or hibernate mode)...
I love Windows 7, its like a modern XP
If you are talking about the screen if is a "Flatron W2268L" 22 inch. I wanted bigger but they guy at the shop was saying "why do you need 26 inch" and "the image will be too stretched". I couldn't come up with any good reasons for having a bigger screen so I had to settle for a 22 inch :(
OMG!! How unbelievably cute when she was looking at her own thumbnails when you asked her to look at the thumbnails, if she was my mom I would hugged and kissed her right there. You have a wonderful mom, love her forever.
Ahhhh the good old Windows 7. Classic and better than Windows 10.
Who knows... I can perform a defrag on it overnight night though ;)
This was uploaded on my birthday even though is May.
This was kade 7 years ago..time is coincidental!
The sidebar has been removed so they became desktop gadgets rather than sidebar gadgets ;)
Arch was a bad choice for this video series. We only ever test operating systems out of the box which is why I didn't install a GUI on arch. The user interface is mainly what these videos test and if we installed an interface on arch then she would not be testing arch, she would be testing the user interface installed on arch.
If arch linux by default had a preinstalled program allowing you to install a user interface ultra easily we would have done that... But my mum didn't find that feature.
25:20 Still using Windows 7 to this day.
Same
We used Windows Vista Ultimate in my school a long time ago, but know we use Windows 8 Enterprise. Huge improvement.
Ah yes but that version of longhorn didnt install correctly... It's longhorn but without any applications. That's why I didn't get my mum to test it out.
It's called group similar icons in the task bar guys
