Bump for interest, good links.

I recently installed Service Pack 1 on a fairly fresh 7 install. What should I do to get fully updated without downloading any telemetry crap or Windows 10 crap, but also so that I can do it quickly? Manually reading the update information takes forever.

Windows 7 is trash, 8 is better in every single aspect

...

Thanks now remove your shitty general

Are you thick?

This thread is making me seriously consider downgrading from 10, but I feel like I will regret it later.

I downgraded from 10, they don't even list drivers for this model.

I just got myself a copy of Driver Booster by Iobit, downloaded everything except graphics drivers, then took the drivers from AMDs site, and everything else not found I did through Windows update.

It's now faster than 10 ever was, now that they are forcing ads and Cortana on everyone, and disabled loads of options that were previously available on 10, I got so sick of it. That, and the Wireless Drivers always blue-screened my laptop.

I even installed Windows 7 in GPT mode so I could use UEFI, which means i still get all the extended features and super fast boot times.

>driver shitter

If it's not FOSS, assume it will wreck your computer and charge you for the experience.
sdi-tool.org/

He's not wrong though. Install ClassicShell and it literally becomes a faster 7.

>assume it will wreck your computer and charge you for the experience.
It didn't wreck my computer, as can be seen by pic related.

>Charged me for the experience
I pirated it and ran it in sandboxie.

Your move.

Fuck off rajesh

>>Ads on start screen

Nice one, but we all know you're the pajeet who wants users to stay on 7 so he'd infect them with malware because it's obsolete

Just use ClassicShell, retard. Is it that hard for you? It's literally exactly the same as the 7 start menu.

>obsolete

>Extended Support Date - 2020

Wew lad

That's not as long from now as it sounds, anons. What will you do when the day comes?

By then a not-retarded operating system will be out,

Fucking hell, shills in full force today lads.

maybe, but you disable updates today because of fear of data collecting

>AMD APU laptop
I'm sorry

Like what, Linux? What the fuck are you expecting to happen between now and the next 4 years?

It was inexpensive, I have a desktop for everything demanding.

Just vet the updates yourself. Doesn't take a genius to read a KB article. Although apparently its hard for you.

Just reinstalled this over 10.

Glad to see the back of that pos

Either Windows will stop being cancerous spyware, or they will double down on it and it just won't be a worthy tradeoff.

I installed windows 7, couldn't install 10 because of a usb issue. Now I decided, instead of buying a new USB drive, I will just keep on 7. There's nothing wrong with it.

But I have a question:
I have windows 7 Pro, not Ultimate. Do I have all the Japanese fonts even though I can't download a language pack? Is there a way to get better japanese fonts without ultimate?

I don't know the answer of your question, but if you don't find any, search how to upgrade Pro to Ultimate. You can do it without formatting.

>howtogeek.com/howto/37920/the-50-best-registry-hacks-that-make-windows-better/
One of the most useful links in thread so far.

>Is there a way to get better japanese fonts without ultimate?

itechtics.com/windows-7-sp1-language-packs-direct-download-links-kb2483139/

ctrl+f japanese

Seems the links are dead. But thanks anyway.

Is that windows update fix safe? I don't want to join some teenagers botnet

>web.archive.org/web/20160908045934/http://wu.krelay.de/en/
All download links point to Microsoft.com, so there isn't a risk.

Right click save as, the links work. And make sure you have the x64 version.

Awesome thanks.

I want to install Windows 7 but i need a license, where do i fucking get it? I don't want to pay for it too.

Download daz loader

There's a script on github that will remove the telemetry updates, so just install everything and run that.

and then what?

Why would you even use Windows 7.
Windows 10 is better.

It isn't, though.

Proof?
It is faster (mostly because of the kernel), more lightweight, has Directx12 and even looks better then Windows 7.

It's faster than 7 and that's been demonstrated time and time again.

Is it true that Windows 10 has problems with old games?

Don't know, I don't play old stuff.

All it did was create a cabinet file and then close.

>Proof?
There's plenty of material circulating about how it isn't better.
>It is faster, more lightweight
Not really. It's a newer OS, it demands more resources, it's bloated, uses 8 times more telemetry. How would it possibly be faster?
>has Directx12
Has something less than 0.01% people use or need? Wow that's great.
>looks better then Windows 7
Subjective. I personally think 7 not only looks much better but has a better and simpler interface overall.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

GET BLOWN THE FUCK OUT CUNTS

>There's plenty of material circulating about how it isn't better.
Proof?
>Not really. It's a newer OS, it demands more resources, it's bloated, uses 8 times more telemetry. How would it possibly be faster?
It doesnt demand more resources, the kernel is actually way faster. And it's nowhere near as bloated as Windows 7.
>8 times more telemetry
Proof? Also you can turn it off.

>trustedreviews.com/opinions/windows-10-vs-windows-7

>Has something less than 0.01% people use or need? Wow that's great.
Nice bait tho.

>Subjective. I personally think 7 not only looks much better but has a better and simpler interface overall.
0/10

You downloaded the x86 version, didn't you. The x64 version is further down.

Not him but i've read some privacy concerns about Windows 10

>Inb4 who cares about privacy

Is that because I don't have ultimate? Or is it because that was a trojan with fake microsoft signing?

>trustedreviews.com/opinions/windows-10-vs-windows-7

>Windows 10 has a lot of genuinely useful new features, as well as key improvements to old features, compared to Windows 7. None is enough on its own to make an upgrade necessary, but when combined they do make a compelling case.

>You’ve got better search, window management, file management, gaming tools and more. Windows 10 is faster in general use, too, and the new Start Menu is in some ways better than the one in Windows 7.

[x] rekt

>all these w7 haters
daily reminder windows 10 is a bloated piece of shit and windows 7 is still the most reliable and straightforward windows

No, I double checked. It's x64. It created a cabinet file called lp, deletes it and then that's it.

>Not him but i've read some privacy concerns about Windows 10
If you are that paranoid you shouldn't use Windows at all.
There is no difference in 7 and 10.

I'm on Ultimate, I forgot you're on Pro. But it should also work on Pro according to the site itself.
Make fucking sure it is the x64 version. I downloaded the x86 the first time and got a cab file.

>windows 7
>bloated

>you can turn off telemetry

>muh gayms

>can't admit looks are subjective

Is shilling and baiting a new meme now?

Can someone create a slipstreamed version of Windows 7 with USB 3.0 drivers so I can get my Skylake i5 to work with W7? I'm so tired of W10.

Windows 7 is as shit as it gets, it is nothing against Windows 10.
Troll harder.

Mad that I owned you?

>shilling
We are talking about Microsoft nonetheless, so that doesnt matter.

Then it looks like you need to bump up to Ultimate.

>you will need to make sure that you are using Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional or Enterprise editions because these language packs can only be installed in these editions.

This is an 18+ site

Windows 10 is less bloated and faster than 7 because of the updated kernel.

>you can turn off telemetry
That shows that you obviously dont know shit about computers.
Also: Enjoy your telemetry in Windows 7.

>muh gayms
Mad because Win10 has better performance?

>can't admit looks are subjective
I can, but you said Windows 7 looks simpler, which is obviously wrong.
Aero is never simpler than just one colour.

I owned you again, sorry kid.

whatever you say
get out of here if you don't like a superior os

So you have to leave then ;)

Don't ignore the evidence.

>old piece of shit
>superior

Don't say bad things about your grandfather, kid. You just wrecked yourself.

>being so mad you have to samefag

Would you like to borrow pawpaw's glasses?

>claims other people don't know shit about computers
>claims windows 10 is better

>being so mad you samefag and then photoshop the picture to appear not samefagging
Wow, that's really desperate of you. Shows that your defeat hit you hard...

Because it is.

- more features
- faster kernel
- better performance
- directx12
- free
- better look

You got btfo.

oh shiieeet nigga

>mad that he got destroyed he thinks people are samefagging.

This. What's with all these shillbots lately?

Daily reminder that Windows 10 updates recently made many computers extremely slow because of a bug that causes disk to show 100% usage rate in task manager. This happens to SSDs and HDDs and there are some unofficial possible workarounds but no fix yet and microsoft does not know what causes this.

it took you this long to reply

Obvious b8 is obvious.
You almost got me

>that damage-control
>n-no u are m-mad

Wow, calm down now. Sometimes you have to accept your loss.

Links from a not shill site (CNET, PCGamer, etc)?
Graphics?
Source?

No?

Then fuck off.
I don't care for your anecdotal evidence.

Ok so I have a clean Windows 7 Pro ISO, and a key.

After I install it do I just update it to the newest version?

After that what do I do to remove the botnet features?

Honestly I am worried about the future of Windows 7 because it seems like MS is going to ruin it with there new update system.

No arguments as usual, thanks for the easy win.

That's a good argument.

I'm sure you have plenty of memes left, but its time to start posting evidence.

Didn't Microsoft have some lofty goal of putting a certain number of computers, tablets, and phones on Windows 10? What happened to that, and by how much did they fall short?

Where do you get a clean ISO of Windows 7?

So you want to argue about Windows 10, yet you don't even know the key improvements and features? Google is your friend.
Wow, this board has gone to shit lately.

How can I de-botnet Windows 10?

>baiting people into pointless arguments
Give it a rest, user

>After I install it do I just update it to the newest version?
No, if you want updates you have to unfuck windows updates, Microsoft fucked it up for fresh installs of Windows 7.

>MS is going to ruin it with there new update system.
It was already ruined, where have you been? There's been numerous complaints in normalfag territory about windows 7 taking forever to search for updates.

>pointless arguments
I am sure they are pointless to you, because you have no chance in arguing against them.
You know I won, and you hate it ;)
