I don't give a shit about DX 12, I'm sick of Windows 10 in general.
My hardware is a R7 370, and an i3-6100 CPU.
I'm sure it's supported.
Any reason I should or shouldn't?
Should I install Windows 7?

Nope.
Only catch is no Edge browser (which, with uBlock Origin is great). Also, use wsusoffline ad you're good to go.

Do you want to have a giant dick in your ass? Use 10.
Landon Jones
Why would you downgrade to an obsolete OS?
Jose Williams
This pretty much Why would you downgrade to an obsolete piece of shit like Windows 10? just install 7, do and you're good to go.
Luke Nelson
Install Windows 8.1
7 is too old.
Camden Davis
I'm not sure who is right or if either of you are capable of reading
Daniel Reed
I'm using an i3 6100 (overclocked to 4.6GHz) and an RX470, and I've had absolutely no issues with hardware. One issue I had was the difficulty doing a USB install on a modern motherboard. I got around that by burning a DVD like it's 2009.
For context, I took the free upgrade to 10 and used it for six months before reinstalling Windows 7.
Cooper Long
Dont install windows
install gentoo
David Reed
Install TempleOS
Parker Butler
Yes, unless you want Linux
Jaxson Nguyen
after using windows 10 for a while i swapped to 7. it actually feels old now. looks nice and that but 10 just feels better. tried 8 too because i like having a taskbar on each monitor and that felt pretty much the same.
Thomas Harris
enjoy your malware
Nicholas Davis
Windows 7 is the only good version of Windows.
Liam Price
That's the reason i tried the linux
OpenSuse 4something with gnome
Was easy to pickup. Spent like 3-4 weeks to acclimatize. No regrets, comfy as fuck. The only pain i got was the misunderstanding of package managers and a pain with Nvidea drivers.
There are even a lot of windows games here with ready-made wine presets
Joshua Richardson
Yes.
Chase Reyes
I'm really not looking forward to the day when Win 7 becomes obsolete. I was so sick and tired of constantly battling with windows 10 on how to run my system - you spend so much time disabling bullshit features, removing fucking candy crush and disabling windows protector just so your notebook fans aren't spinning like crazy when idle just so another update can set this all back to default cancer settings.
If apple gets their hardware together in the next couple years i'll just switch to macbooks so I don't have to deal with ms crap
Ethan Gomez
Why are these retards even on this board?
Liam Gonzalez
If you want to switch to appleshit you could as well just use linux.
Colton Gutierrez
you should install gentoo with the new amdgpu driver
Isaiah Lewis
Yes, obviously. Stay as long as the ride lasts, it will be over soon
Alexander Parker
If you don't play new games then XP can be still nearly fully used now. 7 will be even longer supported because it's the last good Windows ever. If you really have to, just dualboot W10+W7 or W10+Linux.
Austin Young
Will W10+W7 dualboot even work? Doesn't windows rewrite the boot section of disc on install?
Carter Gonzalez
Benjamin Brooks
I never wanted to dual boot two windowses, cause i run linux. I just asked other people about that little boot section, since i don't wan't to make effort on a thing that isn't very important for me.
As well as the guy who can potentially answer wouldn't spend much effort on writing "Nah, there is something something".
But you wanted to look funny and original.
So fuck you for not contributing anything.
Jace Reyes
I'm installing an SSD on my laptop tomorrow, clean slate.
Are there any downsides to installing Win7? Also I've got W10 ISOd on a DVD so I could update any time I'd want to.
Wyatt Edwards
>Are there any downsides to installing Win7
Over W10, really? Only games that are W10 exclusive.
Colton Phillips
Don't really give a shit about them or DX12, if I play on PC I play older shit mostly.
I mean security-wise or what have you.
Gavin Hall
windows8.1 is literally a faster windows7
dont you want a faster windows7? a windows7 with refresh/reset option and 2s boot time off a ssd?

Identical.

Win 8 was completely dropped by MS even though it's younger than 7.
No one uses 8.1 besides a few autists who installed 8 and whined it doesn't have a start button because they were retards installing a tablet OS on a PC.
8.1 won't be supported by anyone, it's 7 or 10.
10 is literally malware and spyware, use 7 or dualboot.
Use antivirus since viruses are based on exploits, so windows security doesn't mean shit.
Cooper Richardson
>Win 8 was completely dropped
>8.1 won't be supported by anyone
what does that even mean you edgy tryhard autist
Jaxson Cook
MS dropped support on 8 you stupid faggot. And since no one uses 8.1 MS will drop support soon too and devs will only bother to make software work for 7 and 10.
Chase Mitchell
>MS will drop support soon too and devs will only bother to make software work for 7 and 10
no they wont you fucking retard, where the fuck do you get these ""facts"" from?
Ayden Green
So what's the patrician W7 setup? I've got a W7 SP1 reinstall disc Dell gave me with my XPS laptop. Should I install all M$ updates so I won't get raped by malware?
Isaac Turner
Use wsusoffline.net
It filters all telemetry and GWX updates. It's also a lot faster.
Alexander Bennett
Windows 10 is the best desktop operating system ever. Use it. Please.
Jack Rodriguez
>Should I install all M$ updates so I won't get raped by malware?
You could but you only really need the wannacry update or just block the port with a firewall. If you care about viruses you need an antivirus. The updates are mostly placebo.
Robert Hill

Heh... what a faggot

You should either manually install IE11 or get an install image that includes it (the Generation 2 installers from The Plebian Bay aren't bad: multiple editions, choose standard, OEM, or Daz activation) or WSUS will get stuck on that update
Jackson Sanchez
Only if you're into masochism
Carter Myers
>You should either manually install IE11
IE11 has many prerequisites. Read here:
support.microsoft.com
>or get an install image that includes it
Never. Ever.
>or WSUS will get stuck on that update
No, it works on 7SP1 2nd rollout just fine.
Isaiah Murphy
Also clean iso files:
mirror.corenoc.de
Angel Wright
And Simplix UpdatePack7R2
forum.oszone.net
Also curated updates list, even faster than WSUS and supports integration pre-installation + USB3 drivers.
7 and 2008R2 only
Cкaчaть = Download
Installation is even cleaner as it allows proper uninstall of individual updates. On WSUS uninstall fails.
Anthony Johnson
Stick with Win 7. It and WHS 2011 (Based on 2008r2) just werks man. Been running since 2010/2011 respectively with zero issues. Swapped motherboards/ram/cpu on two machines and both the desktop and server installs just kept right on going. (Thanks DAZ). Win 7/2008r2 will be supported till 2020. So grab/dl all monthly sec rollups till the 2020 cutoff date then make a iso with all updates in case of total clean reinstall or be sure to keep a good working system backup image. Long as you keep your AV & Browser up todate you'll be fine. AV and Browser will still be supported long after the 2020 deadline, look at xp, it still supported and it "died" in 2014.
Luis Williams
>Caring about muh clean iso for a closed source OS that comes compromised by default instead of saving yourself time with a torrented pre-updated installer
Elijah Stewart
Lads, do you reckon win7 will be useable post-2020? Like, maybe someone will come up with a custom anti-malware solution to replace MSE and windows update
Kevin Ortiz
I will work just fine. MSE is just an antivirus, can always be replaced with whatever you like (preferably Common Sense).
Zachary Hall
It's called antivirus you fucking retard. The updates don't protect you from shit.
Jace Clark
>preferably Common Sense
doesn't protect you from exploits you fucking retard

Windows 7 is currently supported until 2021 October. Might even get extended past that if enough market share.
Luke Thomas
Just reinstalled Windows 7 after dealing with Windows 10 shit for a year. Once security updates stop coming, I'll just switch to a Linux distro.
Jason Hall
Great post now off yourself kike
Xavier Murphy
Well, I didn't believe you when you first stated it without proof, but now you've restated it again without proof, I'm convinced! Thanks!
Jason Moore
I built my first computer last year, I didn't know shit and still don't. I literally googled parts I thought I needed and watched youtube to put it together. Installed Win 7 SP1 and even my dumb ass could find all the drivers and .NET shit (still don't even know what that is, just know I've seen it on every PC I've had so I knew I needed it) to get it to work. Nearly a year later and it's functioning well, never encountered anything that was broke as fuck or couldn't be fixed. Updates turned off from the second it booted.
I'd say do it. I'm still trying to learning linux so I can swtich over to that permanently though.
Colton Moore
>hurr 7 is 7.5 years old, so it's too old
XP had market dominance when it was 7.5 years old, and it was just a year after it had received its 3rd service pack.

Nice try russiabro
Hudson Gutierrez
Bought my thinkmeme 6 months ago, seller installed 10 on it, immediately downgraded to 7. 2 months ago decided to give 10 a try, downgraded again after a week.
Go for 7, only thing that'll make you think about upgrading is that "upgrade" is a nice word and "old system" sounds bad, it's just great for daily use
Zachary Johnson
It will be systemdOS at that point. The battle for usable operating systems was lost in this decade because barely anyone did put up a fight. We're fucked either way, it's just a matter of by whom (ms/applel/redhat/googlel);
Chase Russell
so what should i use? wsus only or simplix? or should i just install everything
Hudson Russell
Simplix or WSUS. I recommend Simplix, it's even faster than WSUS and better curated.
Liam Garcia
bls femanon, help me out with a windows 8.1 update guide, i can't find anything anywhere
here have a funni picture
Logan Richardson
Install Gentoo (Uranus edition).
Aiden James
Unfortunately 8.1 has very little market share and not many people maintain a list of updates for that OS. I suggest use WSUS offline and hope the curation they do is enough, since nothing like Simplix's update pack exists for that OS.
Btw, that powershell command includes some updates for 8.1 as well. Just run WSUS offline and after that use the PS command to verify. You shoud be able to uninstall if one of those updates got in there. Should, not "can" because I've heared about not being able to uninstall updates done via this method.
But why 8? You've got plenty of resources to get 7 up and running on any PC. It's simply a better OS. This comes from someone who uses all 7, 8.1 and 10 regularly.
Charles Diaz
Try Windows Embedded Standard 7. Fully customizable install and official support for a few more years.
Jaxson Moore
>all these update autists
you can use unpatched windows and nothing will ever happen to you
if you fear about viruses only antivirus would protect you
Asher Barnes
You could try on of those prepackaged isos with all the updates. Some notable ones are made by teamos and generation2. Although it could be a risk
Dominic Rodriguez
Skylake only has another year of support on 7. Just use 10 LTSB.
Justin Torres
>Skylake only has another year of support on 7
so what, his PC will still work perfectly fine

Elijah Wilson
Manually update what? Windows 10?
Charles Garcia
>Any reason I should or shouldn't?
They will stop support for win7 in 2020 and then you'll have to switch anyway. Plus there is no real reason. You can also just get a win7 theme for win10 and it's the same
