My only Microsoft machine, Win7, just lost the ability to play GTAIV (Steam stopped Win7 support in 2024, BOO).
But it is still my main machine for anything financial or government -related, online. Most "official" websites still allow login/connections — whether legacy (or not) I'm not sure... as I don't need "all the features."
- stuckkeys 3y agowhy not just debloat win11?
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI bought a pristine N64, today, instead [of playing GTA]... came with 007 and MarioKart64. Craigslist has its miracles. To answer your question on debloating a more modern system: I don't want to [run something so cloud-dependent, requiring self-installed updates]. I turn Win7 on, and it boots in seconds — exactly to my unchanged specification(s). If my main application need was still supported on XP... I'd be running that =D
- stuckkeys 3y agoI guess whatever works. I think the LTSC version of 11 that is coming out later this year should have the bare minimum. I have yet to test it. But yeah, I understand why you choose to stick with 7.
- nullfield 3y agoDo you have solid suggestions for doing this?
- simonblack 3y agoWhy bother, when you can 'just' use Windows 7?
