Windows 7 April Update

[Master.Constructor]

July UpdatePack7 2024.7.10 is out and is running fine for me. I've installed it on several of my Win7 machines and no issues to report.

I'm sure that there are many Win7 users out there that are unaware of these monthly updates. My experience has been very good since I started using them in 2021. One download will update a fresh install of Windows 7 SP1 to current day (or you can update the ISO before installing). Save time and bandwidth, it's basically SP2.

Steam seems fine. No real issues to report.

If you have any suggestions on improving the stability or utility of Windows 7 please share with us.

hello
No one is paranoid here ... i wonder what gives you this feeling ?

you are constantly looking over your shoulder wondering when the next update from steam is going to be the one to lock out windows 7 and these are all these comments about windows updates which have nothing to do with that dead horse of an operating system.

some have even resorted to third party updates to try keep their dead horse of an OS relevant with absolutely no regard for the safety of their OS trusting that third party.

Then you have some users throwing insults, logical fallacies and deflections because they don't want to listen to others saying their efforts to prove their dead horse of an OS can still work. They see it as proof everyone else is wrong.

if you run w7 on a py or on a fridge or whatever else the same fix will be apply on your os whatever device you are using ...
eg
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3131696199122435099
if you think this windows won't receive any update from microsoft because it run on a steam deck then you will be surprise ...

Windows 7 lost it's support 4 years ago and it's not yesterday. It's old af and downloading ♥♥♥♥ from internet using it is not a good idea at all. And people who recommend downloading windows 10 or 11 or just use Linux are not harassing or assaulting anyone. That's just basic common computer security knowledge.

And also for people saying "Linux is too hard lmao..." might have used Linux when it's still terrible for desktop use (like 9-10 years ago). It's way better now and you don't have to be a computer nerd to use it. ♥♥♥♥ is way easy now. You are not compiling your kernel or apps

Yea ofc, ubuntu and linux mint are not gentoo or arch linux where you gotta compile and do terminal ♥♥♥♥ (For people who think ubuntu is gentoo).
