Why is it getting harder and harder to activate this shit? A

>>60306281
I use W8 but use a similar unlock mechanism. Trust me, just find an activator that you see works, save it on a USB and then stash it away in a place you wont loose it.

Storing shit like this is half the reason I run my own on site server.

>>60306281
I noticed that too.

Used to be so easy to google Windows Activator and you get plenty of options.

Now all the options, apart from the forum downloads, seem to infested with crapware that take an eternity to get rid of

>>60306307

Well this one did work for me last time, now it doesn't. I am wondering if it has anything to do with my SSD, since I had to get a special loader to even install W7 this time I upgraded.

I don't get this unsupported partition table thing? Is it because I have my previous HDD put in as a backup still? I've still got W7 installed on the old HDD that just used for storage now, should I get my games off it then wipe it clean?

You'd think that since W7 is on it's deathbed it would be easy to pirate, but nope. Microsoft is fucking hunting and disabling every key out there it seems. Fucks sake.

>>60306333
I would buy Windows if it were at an actual affordable price.

>>60306325
There shouldn't be a difference as far as the OS is concerned if your trying to unlock. That special loader might just be fucking with you. What I do is just download the .iso's directly from microsoft and burn them to a usb so you know you're not getting buttfucked by the botnet anymore than necessary.

Mydigitallife used to be the place to get this sort of shit but the years have not been kind to it from what I can tell.

I don't get why you wouldn't have the iso and loader backed up to an external drive.

>>60306281

Windows 7 is hidden behind a check that requires you to enter a valid, non-revoked key.

>>60306281
I will never upgrade to Windows 10. I'll stay at 7 until new hardware no longer supports it at which point I'm not really sure what the fuck I'll do. Hopefully whatever Windows OS is out by that point won't be a botnet but I don't have much hope for that.

I'd probably end up migrating over to Linux. I do less gaming than I used to so I guess I'd just stop gaming altogether or I'd use a VM to play certain titles. Bigger issues would be SPICE and PCB design software which I need for work and personal projects. There are some free alternatives to the commercial software but it's absolute garbage.

I'd be totally fine running Mac OS if it could run on my custom PC but as it can't then it's a dealbreaker. I know there are hackintosh builds and stuff but I hear they tend to be very picky about hardware.

Does KMSPico work for Windows 7? It says only 8 and 10 on their site.

Also W7 can't even install on modern mobo's anymore you need to a special USB loader for it, and another one if you are trying to get it onto an SSD.

>>60306412
>I'll stay at 7 until new hardware no longer supports it
Enjoy your drive-by infections starting from EOL in 2020. I hope you like Ransomware and make backups of your data.

>>60306410
Can you even buy Windows 7 anymore? At this point it's two generations old and Microsoft is really pushing Windows 10. They almost certainly don't sell it, I'd assume no retail stores carry it, so your only hope would be buying a copy second hand on ebay and hoping that all the license keys weren't used up.

>>60306412
The trouble is Microsoft is hiding new versions of directX behind their new OS. It's literally the only thing that makes people bother to update most of the time.

It's most of the reason why I hope things like VULCAN take off and make it so you can game on linux. Driver support on that OS is a fucking joke.

>>60306281
RemoveWAT worked for me.

>>60306281
You are using GPT, install windows using MBR.

>>60306427
There are still occasionally factory sealed Windows 7 copies on eBay. Check in about every three or four days.

CHECK THE PICTURES. Some people fuck up and take a legible picture of the product key or actually break the fucking seal.

>>60306460
>Inb4 How

Use rufus to make your USB bootable and select MBR for CSM and NTFS.

>>60306460
And before you waste even more time, you cant activate a W7 GPT install,there is no activator that can do it other than using the Extended trial method.

>>60306419
You shouldn't be using KMSPico for the bloatware it leaves when MSToolkit exiats.

>>60306465

I couldn't tell you how many 7 Pro keys I've gotten from looking at photos of eBay listings. Old toughbook "for parts/repair" listings are where I've gotten to most.

>>60306410
I'm not working an entire day just to pay for software I can get for free

>>60306522
They're all useless, though, because others are doing the same thing. Plus they're still illegal as you are not the license holder.

>>60306547

I've never had an activation revoked and I obviously don't give a shit about the legallity. A lot of the keys have been converted to 10 Pro installs.

>>60306541
Agreed. Why spend any money on software when I can spend that money on better hardware instead? Doesn't even matter how much you make, the money is better spent on literally anything else. Besides pirating Windows 7 doesn't even hurt Windows at this point since they aren't actively selling it anyway.

Just bought a 850 evo, gonna install win7 on it because I need it. Anything I should know about running it on an SSD? Never had one before

>>60306580
Nothing.
Limitations are because the motherboard compatibility.

If its a recent motherboard you will need to add USB 3.0 drivers.
Look for MSI Smart tools 1.0.0.12 or .13, the tool will add then for you to your W7 bootable USB.
Even if your motherboard is not MSI it will work.

>>60306598
>you will need to add USB 3.0 drivers
what for exactly? Doesn't it go through SATA?

>>60306580
Be sure your sata controler is AHCI instead of IDE that's pretty much it

>>60306574
Because the time you spend dicking around with it is worth more to you then $100.

>>60306580

Not really. Just make sure you set enough over-provisioning based on how long you expect it to last. It's a trade-off of free space vs longevity. I have a 500gb and 1tb 850 Evo in my Win 7 laptop. Both are set at about 30% OP. That's a bit extreme though. I think Intel drives come factory set with a "hidden" 10% OP.

>>60306619

Yeah, right. You need a base Windows 10 license to qualify nowadays. Additionally, the Insider agreement specifically prohibits use on production systems.

I've used Microsoft Toolkit succesfully for years. bonus is that it also activates office.

Or just ask a studentfriend for a Dreamspark key.

>>60306750
>Or just ask a studentfriend for a Dreamspark key.
Only Microsoft Imagine (the successor to DreamSpark) *Premium* qualifies for the base OSes, which is provided only to STEM students and universities are usually restrictive with it.
Furthermore, the keys are region-locked.
Plus the agreement says the product MUST ONLY be used for purposes related to education.

>>60306360

I got my ISOs directly through Microsoft just earlier this year for Win7 SP1 preloaded in a couple variants. You can go to the page where you download the Windows 10 ones, IIRC, and run a short piece of... I wanna say it was JavaScript, to load up the dropdown box with the options for 7 through 8.1. Don't have the code handy, just remember that I came across a video of some Indian guy on YouTube showing this in action while looking for it.

AHCI/IDE is just a setting in your BIOS options, not a static thing about your hardware.

don't change it

get a win7 iso and an activator that works save it on some external place

Y'all fucking retards use a KMS emulator. Or don't use windows at all (or outside the VM)

The COA sticker is a standard format, so it all depends on the quality of the picture. I tend too look for business models like toughbooks or thinkpads since they're the ones more likely to have Pro keys. I find that of they're being sold for parts/repair that the sellers tend to care less about covering the key.

>>60306281
>Does anyone on /g/ still install W7 on their new machines when they upgrade?
I don't at least, which is kind of a shame. The truth is that W7 just wasn't quite modern enough to keep pace with a lot of configs today, USB 3.0 and GPT/UEFI support being key offenses.

>>60307054

I should have, but my build was already over 2 grand and this was my first SSD so anything would be better than booting up from an HDD. I am regreting not going the extra mile, not because of speeds but I can barely even fit my C drive on it.

>>60307055

I'd like to keep my next build win 7 if possible, not really trying to resist change, but I still feel weary about win 10 and things such as win10 behaviour with updates and things being forced.

I may have it all wrong, but I still feel less weary with win 7 because it "feels" like there are still more third party programmes to control the is, including blocking aspects of the is behavior over 10.

I'm Open to be proven wrong tho.

>>60307076
Yeah, 120GB SSDs are a bad idea for multiple reasons, you mentioned ine of the main ones.

The other main problem is that they are slower and last less.
You can upgrade anytime tho, just clone it to a bigger SSD anytime.

After I buy that I will then get a bigger SSD, so I can actually fit some games on there and not just the C drive.

Getting W7 to work great on Skylake or later motherboards is almost impossible.

What you can do is install it on another computer with an older motherboard. When it reboots the first time, you unplug it and put your SSD in the new computer and boot up. It should then install the correct drivers or whatever it is doing.

I did this, but gave up after a few weeks because I didn't get any updates. Windows 10 here

I'm building a Ryzen rig this summer but I still don't know what motherboard brand I will buy.

Here is a better idea:
Don't install Windows as your main OS.

Use Linux and install Windows 7 as a VM with pci-e passthrough to your main GPU (you'll need 2 GPUs) Boom - no problems with Windows spyware even on Win7 and you can continue to use Win7 with security updates through (and possibly past) 2020.

KMSpico needs privileged access on Windows 8.1 and above, which ensure that the KMS server is not on 127.0.0.1. KMSpico patches that check out, but requires elevated permissions to do so.

Although warned that if missing SLIC on AMD boards, Server 2012 cannot be activated, I've had no trouble activating with any 990fx board to date.
Neither have I encountered any board on which Vista/Server 2008 or 7/Server 2008 R2 doesn't activate, and I've gone thru quite a few.

2.2.2 is the last version and yes, it seems that it becomes increasingly hard to find and MS is actively trying to take down any mirror available.

No, I've had the 'latest' version from the day Daz uploaded it, but monitoring forums, the links disappear fast and mdl is constantly down.

Jesus Christ Windows costs $100?

>paying $100 for a vastly inferior OS

>>60314207
$100 for the Home edition.
$200 for the Pro edition.
$300 for the Pro edition after purchase power and conversion back to USD adjustment in wealthier countries.

>>60314008
They changed the site. It was announced maintenance downtime

>tfw just picked up my 850evo
finally time to go back to 7
does anyone know if activation via vlmcsd needs to be done daily or does it last for like 180 days similar to kmspico?
i'd like to install it on a laptop temporarily but I won't have it on all that time after activaton

Windows loader v2.2.2 for windows 7,
KMSPico for Windows 10 and 8.1.

Both have always worked for me.

There is nothing wrong with paying for software. Even Stallman isn't against commercial software.

I bought Windows 8 for $80CAD instead. Before that, I was using XP (which I regrettably bought for an arm and a leg.)

>>60306648
Thanks anon, on my install kmspico didn't work, daz loader didn't work, remove wat worked temporarily, kj activator worked but god damn that program looks like it was made by a 12 year old

>>60310894

That explains my difficulties then, I have a Skylake CPU and a mobo to go with it.

I got it all working through but fuck it was a pain.

For W7 you should use Daz Loader. Download it from the MyDigitalLife forums so you don't get spyware shit.

>>60315942
>>60310894
What are y'all talking about?

>Install Windows 7 by DVD

>Everything just werks

I know not everyone keeps an optical drive but Windows 7 is much easier to install if you have one.

you installed in EFI mode, daz is for mbr mode only.
you'll lose maybe half a second off your boot time if you install in MBR mode

>>60316640
>shoplifting milk in a cinema
what sort of cinema do you have in sillystan

>>60316671
Or put Windows 7's install.wim on top of Windows 10's boot image (;

Does anyone know if vlmcsd works for win 7 ultimate? Can't find any info, seems like this was invented by the chinks

>>60316965

DAZ Loader (MBR only)
7 Home
7 Pro
7 Ultimate


Microsoft Toolkit - KMS (MBR and GPT)
7 Pro (VL) *
7 Enterprise

KMS activation needs to be redone every 180 days

* it's the same image, conversion can be done either during installation or post, MTK will (should) do it for you.

>>60306352
>You'd think that since W7 is on it's deathbed it would be easy to pirate, but nope. Microsoft is fucking hunting and disabling every key out there it seems. Fucks sake.
How would going soft on windows 7 piracy improve botnet coverage? That's why

Is there a separate installer for Win7 SP1 like there used to be for WinXP SP3? If so just use the original Win7 Ultimate ISO with Daz and then apply the SP1 installer...

>>60306281
just install a pirate version of 7 and use the windows 10 autismbux free upgrade

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade

>>60306357
I was going to buy it till they decided to make it refuse to update at all on my cpu that that point I put my money back in my wallet and found a loader.

>>60306508
>you cant activate a W7 GPT install
KMS/Microsoft Toolkit can

>>60306281
I don't think that tool supports GPT, reformat with DOS partitions and install again. Windows 7 won't let you choose it will just use whats already there.

Modded bios + appropriate OEM serial is the best.

>>60313674
I bought them used. Checkmate athiests.

>>60306352
They're even still doing that with XP, which has been EOL for years now.

>>60306325
dazloader only works on MBR (old type of partition table), new windows images default to GPT (new type of partition table) installation

when you've got your ssd Windows probably used GPT during partitioning

I'm surprised you motherfuckers don't have a Windows piracy general with pastebin and hookers yet.

Good luck with waiting for a new Windows OS, fuccboi.

Windows has decided they would rather duct tape and bandaid 10 until the Heat Death of The Universe. God forbid Satya Nutella actually take a risk as CEO.

>>60306521
Alternative?

>>60306357
are you a literal fucking retard?

I downloaded Windows off a torrent site and then bought a 5 quid key off eBay
literally as easy as it gets

>>60306419
not sure if u count MSI M5 as a modern mobo but shit installed just fine for me
using the 7700K meme as well, everything works fampai

>>60306415
This. This thread is amusing, having previously been mocked for using a pre-activated copy.

Can you buy education edition through those key sellers?

His motherboard only supports AHCI bootrom. No IDE. Welcome to the future, son.

Why are you waiting until your trial runs out before you use the loader?

Why are you trying to use the loader on an a copy with windows that's been upgraded with patches to defeat certain versions of the loader?

Why aren't you running the loader before your fresh install of windows 7 ever gets anywhere near a network connection?

Why, if you are intent on using windows 7 forever, are you not storing a working loader, a clean RETAIL dvd image of windows 7 build 7600, and a periodically updated WSUS Offline cache of updates?

Why didn't you install windows 7, run the loader before you plugged in your ethernet or connected to wifi, update to current AFTER, and then take a disk image of your clean install?

For guys who have spend their free time delving into the documentation of the most basic programs included in their operation system and then spend all weekend fiddling around in a terminal just to get some basic stable functionality out of them, you sure are fucking retarded when it comes to the so-easy-a-fucking-baby-could-do-it windows installation.

>>60316671
I have never once had a problem with installing windows 7 from a usb thumb drive.

>pirating the OS

Find some enterprise keys or some shit

It's like you want a Russian botnet in your ass. As if NSA wasn't enough

>>60326593
If you have those backups, would you mind sharing?

>>60326835
>enterprise keys
Not possible. Enterprise is only available in volume licensing.

>>60306281
Is Win7 still supported by new tech? Im building a PC and I have a stable cracked version of Win7 Pro I can install from a USB drive. Otherwise I'd have to hunt down a W10 install off a torrent site somewhere

>>60328192
Yes, Win7 should still run fine on whatever you throw at it.

AHCI has nothing to do with MBR or IDE.

AHCI is related to Sata, not to partition schemes.

You fucking retard.
