windows 7

Hi all, I'm running windows 7 x64. The BSOD occured after I used a program called driver hub to update my drivers. It was going well, however after attempting to download a driver (I believe it had to do with a USB driver but I can't confirm) my computer shutdown. I restarted the computer and...

Hi! I'm thinking of purchasing a ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 card (see https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-gtx-1650-oc#spec) for my desktop, a HP Pavilion p6230f running Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). However, I have a few concerns. The first is that the card is...

I'm setting up a new computer that will have a 250 GB Samsung EVO 850 SSD and two 1 TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives. I want the SSD to be the boot drive and have the Windows folder with the operating system (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit). I also want to have a few programs on the SSD...

After being partially fried by lightning, my 5 year old pc needs some new parts. But I want to keep running Windows 7. (The existing hard drives function I believe - boot drive still boots, but there is no video output to confirm that, so I judge by noises and LEDs. However, I intend to...

Hello, I don't just rely on windows defender so I have Bit Defender 2019 premium + Malware bytes paid version. And I don't open shady sites, no porn sites and nothing. My work is youtube + making sites + heavy browsing (related to work) + editing only. I know win 7 is old but I still see many...

I've been meaning to ask about this for some time but as it was not a particular 'problem' I've never bothered until now. When you launch Command Prompt (CMD), using Win7 64bit, by default it goes to the Users directory. That's annoying enough but even with full administrator rights you can not...

There are multiple problems that have occured on my computer since around, or maybe later than, March 8th of this year. Basically, if I use intensive programs, my computer crashes. Before these problems occured, my PC was completely fine and could render projects at at most 3 hours. It never...

Having a bunch of working IDE drives, I got an IDE to SATA converter so that I can use them as a sort of scratch disk on my computer with no IDE ports. The problem is that in Windows 7 the HDD is very slow. Since I happen to have a working XP installation on this computer as well (dual boot), I...

I forgot how to really do this since it has been some time. What I remember was that I had to create a windows iso then use rufus to get into onto a bootable usb device. I have mine in ntfs, while going back through all the websites they say the bootable usb always has to be fat32 and won't...

I have Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. After swapping out my main hard drive temporarily to install Ubuntu on a separate hard drive, I ran into some strange errors once I plugged my main hard drive back in. For context, I have a tri-monitor setup that has worked just fine since I first...

So I had an older computer running windows 7. I recently decided to buy a bunch of new parts (motherboard, cpu, gpu, power supply) so I could game better. However, understandably, after I upgraded, my OS didn't come with my computer. I had to load a version of Windows 7 on USB just to run my...

I have a proprietary motherboard which means I can't overclock through BIOS, back on Windows 7, I used SetFSB to overclock to 3GHz. Unfortunately on 7, my graphics drivers crashed, so I upgraded to 10. 10 ran awfully so I then went to 8.1. Unfortunately, SetFSB doesn't work on Windows 8.1, so...

Hey everyone, So, let me go over what happened. I intsalled a new SSD, formatted it as a new drive in Windows 7. 2 Days later, everything is dandy and I decide to create a Ubuntu VM on new SSD. While I'm installing Ubuntu inside VM (Virtual Box), I started playing Overwatch. Now, as I'm...

Greetings! I have installed Windows 7 on a GigaByte Z270 board with a 960 EVO NVMe drive (no mean feat). The OS is on a 100GB partition, with a second partition of 130GB. My question is: Shall I use that second partition on the same drive for my data drive? Or should I use a completely separate...

Hi people. I've been using Windows 7 since it came out, and have been boycotting Windows 10 ever since it was released. I recently read an article saying Windows 7/8.1 updates would be blocked on Kaby Lake. So, seems as if Windows 7 hardware support is coming to an end, which in my mind is a...

For a gamer it seems to be the best thing to stick with Windows 7. Only pro: Has DirectX 12 Cons: No games use DirectX 12, and no games ever will except a couple of ones microsoft paid for. In Windows 7 you can choose which updates you want and if you want them. In windows 10 updates are...

When I plug a USB flash drive into my computer, it makes the normal sound like when a USB device is plugged in but the USB drive doesn't appear in the Windows Explorer. All other USB devices seem to function properly (headset, mouse, keyboard, bluetooth adapter, etc.). My OS is Windows 7 x64...

Today I bought a new SSD, the Crucial MX300 525GB. When I install windows, everything works until it reboots and gives me the error: 'Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware'. I get this when installing windows 7 and windows 10. I already tried the msoobe fix...

My windows 7 x64 desktop has suddenly started having no network at boot but the network eventually starts a minute or two later. Running "ipconfig /all" at boot only shows: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : Kevria-PC Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node...

The solution (for me) in a nutshell: install KB3050265 / reboot / install KB3135445 / reboot I wrote all of the below before I saw the "Fix for windows 7 update" sticky here on Anandtech. I'm going to post anyways to relate what worked for me. It's an alternate fix. As I say below one of the...

Yeah, that figure seems about right, at least compared all the companies I deal with which none plan to move from Win 7 thankfully. http://www.techrepublic.com/article/99-of-businesses-have-not-upgraded-to-windows-10-according-to-study/?ftag=TRE20d3f17&bhid=88132330

One problem that has always bugged me with Windows is that the file copier in the OS will give copied files new "Date Created" and "Date Modified" metadata. For example, if I copy a file originally created/modified in 01/01/1999 at 12:00PM and the time right now is 08/15/2016 at 12:00PM, the...
