>>60144712
Use Ancile to get rid of the botnet "features" in win7

>>60144712
You got 3 years until Uncle Pajeet pulls the plug, senpai.

>>60144741
Vulcan is the future, nobody gives a flying shit about DX12 and for good reason.

I will use Win7 until it is so outdated it becomes totally useless for my needs. Maybe then I will force myself to be happy with Linux.

Because fuck Windows 10 and fuck Microsoft.

>>60144712
>tell me how should I use my own PC

>>60144741
Yeah, there's like 20 games using it and it gives fuck all more performance. Really a shame that W7 doesn't support it.

>>60146051
What happens then, no updates? I disabled them as soon as I installed SP1.

I was literally about to make a thread asking if I should downgrade to 7.

How do you skip the botnet updates, but get the security ones?

>>60147912
Do you not even read the first five posts of this thread?

>>60144712

>>60144772

>>60149745

Don't post that, it's wrong. First, you won't be able to install Internet Explorer 11 without a lot of prerequisites:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2847882/prerequisite-updates-for-internet-explorer-11
I know, I tried installing IE11 on a fresh 7SP1 recently to do some tests, it's not as easy as running the installer.

Second, you don't ned to use 3rd party crap like that "Ancile Script" when 7 provides a GUI for everything.

>>60151546
Bullshit
I've installed ie11 on a fresh win7 many times a day

Glad I never bothered updating in the first place, hopefully more companies follow Star Citizen's lead and drop DX12 to not exclude everyone who's not on Windows 10.

Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate?

>>60152016
Ultimate if you want certain features that are locked in Pro.

turn off windows update

guys how can i activate win7 in uefi mode?
dayz don't work

>>60152119
You gotta enable standard bios in your motherboard before install windows to use daz loader. Also don't use win update. instead grab the convenience 2013 rollup plus latest security rollup (april). Also get IE 11, it adds a platform update in addition to browser. Install SP1 first before any other updates

>>60144712
Install ltsb instead.

microsoft toolkit?

>uefi isn't needed anyway unless your wanting a boot drive that's over 2TB. that's really the only selling point of uefi. now far as data drive reg or uefi it don't mater, both will work for large drives. you could get a 10tb single data drive and your reg bios will still work. (obviously you'd need to format it GPT style in disk management to use all 10tb as single volume)

>>60152299
Windows 7 activation with daz prefers MBR
there's a UEFI method but that requires fucking around with the shit that's available as options in daz

why would anyone want Internet Explorer 11? Internet Explorer is dead. If you're that much of a sucker to use Window's bundled web browser, Edge is 100 times better.
