Hey Sup Forums
Got my new laptop arriving in 2 days; MSI GP72 17.3 In i7 16GB 256GB 1TB GTX1050Ti
My question is how much of a pain will it be trying to install and use windows 7 instead of the cancer that is windows 10? Tried before and got nothing but broken drivers and eventually, hard drive errors (that mysteriously did not occur when I installed 10) Any thoughts?
Very true, but with new hardware older windows are a pain. Feels good on my Sandy Bridge though.
nothing wrong with the OS. Has support until 2020 but i don't see you having any driver support on a new machine for an 8 year old OS
I eventually settled with Windows 10 on my laptop since it didn't have drivers for 7 and was slow as shit.
You can try it and see how it works. But it's quite possible that it isn't going to run well on 7.
8.1 is the sweet spot
I did with my dell without problem, seriously fuck W10. I bought a new ssd because of (((GPT))) shit tho
Just give us your fucking data already. You're not a pedophile nazi racist are you? Only racist nazi pedophiles have a problem with sharing their life with the world. :^)
It's going to be a massive pain because there won't be any USB drivers at all, you may even need to pull the hard drive out to copy drivers onto it, and you'll have to apply a registry hack to get any updates at all since Microsoft has blocked it for newer CPUs.
Not that hard, just search how to inject USB 3.0 drivers into the ISO and it should install without any problems.

Install Windows 10 LTSB
I use it on a XPS15 9550 just fine. I also installed 7 on a few laptops with KabyLake CPU's. It works perfectly. I used Simplix pack to inegrate all updates and USB 3 drivers on the iso.

Piece of junk.
Do you have source on this info about newer CPU's?
I'm not pedo, just a nazi racist.
No driver issues? No HDD crashes?
Stop shilling this Russian botnet ffs
Interesting......I was unaware this was a thing
Would you like to be?
Are you retarded? The pack is clean.
not on bare metal
setup a firejail and virtualize it within a chroot or w/e
setup the linux/*bsd firewall and youre good to go
No
It's "feasible" in the same way that XP was "feasible" when it was almost 10 years old. Be prepared to deal with increasing compatibility issues in the near future as well as a large number of unpatched security exploits being discovered. You're much better off installing 8.1 with a start menu replacement program.

>"GPT shit"
gpt bypasses the block limitation of ntfs..
gpt also isnt capped at 4 partitions per drive
it also fixes the exploits that are broken by design and cant be patched (ie mbr exploits)
lastly gpt is open
back to Sup Forums kiddo
Windows update is buggy in Windows 7. you will need to install the updates from this sites manually
>alexanderschimpf.de
Note: German site, use google translate or find it in english, this bug is well known
Windows 10 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Windows 8 & windows 7
I have a custom image I made of 8.1 that I use on all of my windows machines. Other than the fact it looks like shit until modified, it's a good OS.
HEY GUISE
Dos anybody know if there's an ISO of Windows 10 LTSB that's already modified to minimize telemetry?
>still using windows 7 on all my machines without any issues
What compatibility and security issues am I meant to be having?
