windows 7

Hi all, I currently have a first gen Ryzen 1600X and would like to upgrade the cpu/mobo before (if things ever change with the GPU market...) eventually the GPU (1070 GTX). I was looking at either the Ryzen 5600X or the i5-11600K. My choice based on price/performance would be the 5600X, but I...

Hi all, I hope it's the right place to write it, but I'm currently desperate for help and would really appreciate it. When my GPU is on load (games or Furmark tests) my computer crashes with WHEA error and no dump file is created. Just jumping forward I have to note, that this is happening on...

I still have my HP Microserver 8 on windows 7. I use it to back up photos so I only turn it on every week or so to back up a batch so not much of a security risk on a time at risk basis. Yesterday I turned it on and checked there were no updates (monthly virus scan). There were none. I thought...

Hi guys, planning on eventually nuking my PC and doing a fresh install to Windows 10. I've currently got my Windows 7 configured just the way I like it - absolute bare minimum running, just the bare essentials. When I boot I only have 26 processes running, i'd like to configure Windows 10 the...

Hi All I have a toshiba satellite c660 that refused to boot with the message 'boot failed', i managed to boot from USB and repair the boot up and got a working laptop again, however, when i restarted i got the same message and no boot up. Any ideas why this would happen? TIA

Now that official support for Windows 7 has come to an end, is there a final all-in one roll-up update that can be applied to a fresh install? Or slipstreamed?

Hello everyone, A mate messaged me saying he'd dropped his Laptop, has not been able to boot into Windows 7 since and would I have a look at it. It landed bottom side down so I guess the HDD would have felt the impact more. Unfortunately he's got music on it that he doesn't have backed up and...

Hi everyone. This is a guide on how to install Windows 7 64-bit version with all its essential drivers on an Acer E5 575G 54T8 Laptop. This is a Kaby Lake based PC and I expect that many, if not all, of these steps can be applied to many other Kaby Lake based PC's. NOTE: This is just a...

Hi all. I bought a new Laptop with an i5 7200U CPU and a Nvidea 950m GPU. It had windows 10 (as expected), so I backed it up and installed windows 7 on top. Despite the Laptop manufacturers not officially supporting windows 7, I was able to install most drivers without too much problems. I...

I don't know what to do, I've just found out that Kaby doesn't support Win7 (I know I should have done my research) but now I literally can't do anything. I used a HDD from a previous build that has Win7 installed on it. I have access to everything on my HDD from before, but Win7 won't detect my...
