Anyone still using windows 7 here?

[ともり]

Well it used to be me,until i changed drives late 2020,haha.

I'm using Windows 11. But as a teen, when I look at the Windows 7 UI and play flash games, I feel really old. 
You know what they say, "Time flies," right? Does anyone relate to this?

Plus

Win 11 home
Intel core i5-10300h
GTX 1650
8gb of ram
with unity game engine

I know it's not much, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Windows ME and Windows Vista are the two Worst OS that Microsoft ever released.

Not as a main PC, but I do have a PC that I do run Win 7 on, only because its too slow for anything else, and even modern Linux is quite CPU and memory heavy, I don;t use the PC for anything but music and to access my Plex server, thats it.

I had a friend at the time who got a new PC around the holidays of either 2000 or 2001 with Windows ME. She was visiting me once many, many years later, and was using my PC (custom made, Windows XP at the time). I had the CPU overclocked and apparently it was on the edge of stability because it gave a BSOD. She asked me "what is that" and I had to explain it. I was surprised to learn she didn't know what a BSOD was, despite using Windows ME for years. Apparently she had not only never seen one, but she said she simply never had a single major issue with her PC when she had it. I was somewhat impressed.

If Windows 10 has enlightened me to anything, it's that "bad" and "good" versions of Windows are determined more by whatever public opinion is at the time rather than how it "good" or "bad" a certain version inherently was.

The "bad" versions that were quickly abandoned (namely Windows ME, Windows Vista, Windows 8) are ones most people put at the top of worst versions lists, and the "bad" versions that Microsoft didn't abandon (Windows 10) were things people came to love. This tells me those other "bad" versions are just "bad" because they were never given the time to have opinion changed over them (Windows Vista actually did, but it was just renamed Windows 7).

Very true. While ME was better in many respects over Win98. 98 SE solved all of those issues down the road and became the better WinOS if you weren't already about to make that switch to Windows 2000.

WinME it never seemed to matter how many PCs I built or what specs I used; for whatever reason many things in that OS just would up and break for no real reasons. And it seemed to grow slow over-time. A clean install was basically a must every 6 months or so. Worst OS since the release edition of Win95

Yup winme was junk. Every week I got a bsod on windows me.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

On one PC I even had an issue where I had to ensure to disable the WiFi before I shut-down the PC. Otherwise on the next OS Startup it would BSOD with the WiFi left enabled. Waiting until the Desktop loaded everything, then turning on the WiFi adapter seemed to work then. LOL

Yeah, it was GPU intensive for its time, also the compatibility was a problem.

I actually never used 7. I went from xp to 8.1.

My fx 9590 that I'm using right now installed windows 11 without a bypass, without a workaround. It has a tpm 1.2 module and it satisfies Microsoft's requirements.

The tpm security is working because when I remove the tpm module, windows tells me my pin is no longer valid and asks me to setup again.

When I put the tpm back in my pin works.

Did you go to 8.1 using the $40 Windows 8 Pro offer that was available for a short time?

One thing to beware of is that the Win9x kernel had a very limited number of GDI objects available. Backporting the Windows 2000 UI to Win9x which ME did meant straining those limited resources, as Windows 2000 uses the NT kernel and thus had a limit of around 16k GDI objects per session (increased to 65k in XP and later) and 10k per process. Windows 9x has a systemwide limit of 1200.
