28. ↑ То, насколько сократится объём доступной системной памяти, зависит от установленных на компьютере устройств. Однако, для того, чтобы избежать потенциальных проблем с совместимостью драйверов, в 32-разрядных версиях системы Windows Vista общий объём доступной памяти ограничен 3,12 ГБ. В диалоговом окне «Сведения о системе» в Windows Vista показывается объём системной памяти меньше ожидаемого, если на компьютере установлено 4 ГБ ОЗУ Архивная копия от 14 июня 2011 на Wayback Machine
29. ↑ That 32-bit editions of Windows Vista are limited to 4GB is not because of any physical or technical constraint on 32-bit operating systems. The 32-bit editions of Windows Vista all contain code for using physical memory above 4GB. Microsoft just doesn’t license you to use that code. …The total amount of memory allowed is taken solely from the license value Kernel-WindowsMaxMemAllowedx86, as read through the undocumented function ZwQueryLicenseValue. The data for this value is a number of MB, so that 0x1000, which is installed for all 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, means 4GB.Licensed Memory in Windows Vista Архивная копия от 12 апреля 2022 на Wayback Machine.

The actual version of Windows, the kernel version, is 6.1, but the reason why it is 7 is because this operating system is the 7th generation version of Windows . 1.0, 2.0, 3.x(3.0/3.1/NT), 4.x(95[25] /98/Me[26] /NT), 5.x (2000/XP), 6.0 (Vista), 6.1(7) in that order. Originally, the kernel version should also be 7, but due to compatibility issues caused by the kernel version being upgraded to 6 during Windows Vista development[27] It ended with 6.1, raising only one back seat. See the Windows Vista documentation for details . This kernel upgrade was repeated for Windows 8 as well.

Unlike its predecessor, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 8 is installed as standard, improving Internet compatibility and stability. It is also the first OS to support Internet Explorer 11 and Microsoft Edge.[28] Starting with its successor, Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10 is installed as standard.

Windows 7 is limited to service pack 1, allowing you to install Internet Explorer 11 by upgrading your browser. However, the Chrome browser is now more popular and popular, making its meaning faded. Although the Microsoft Edge has been installed since adopting a chromium engine, it was quietly passed because it was just before the end of support.[29]

It is also the last operating system to have a bitmap-based version of Internet Explorer 8 available. Because the default version is Internet Explorer 8. If the latest version of the browser is installed, you can downgrade to the basic version 8 by deleting the installed Internet Explorer in Control Panel-Uninstall a Program.

Even though several years have passed since Windows 10 was released, many users still prefer Windows 7. In version 10, updates are always on and there are restrictions such as only being able to postpone them.[30] The awkward mix of mobile OS and desktop OS, which has been a disadvantage of Windows since Windows 8, also seems to play a role. There are often posts about how people miss the classic Windows 7 even though they use Windows 10 because of the new features.[31]

Perhaps because of this, many people ask how to install Windows 7 on a computer that is difficult to install Windows 7 on, such as Kaby Lake, when buying an assembled computer from a local computer store . If you type Kaby Lake in Naver search, ‘ Windows 7 ‘ comes up a lot with auto-completion . Kaby Lake is actually a CPU that doesn’t officially support Windows 7, but there is a workaround.[32] From Coffee Lake, which was released in October 2017, even this does not apply, but only Z370, H310C, and B365 chipsets are supported. However, if you force installation, some device drivers may not be installed, and some of the latest Microsoft security updates may not be installed.

Windows 7, which has no problems with its stability itself, is often noted, except for the fact that it has become heavier due to huge cumulative updates as stability problems gradually rise to the surface, probably due to the frequent build update policy of Windows 10 and the shortened test period. In the end, Windows 10’s share in January 2019 exceeded Windows 7, but the latest OS released in 2015 caught up with the old version’s share in the third year, and completely exceeded the old version’s share in the fourth year. The part where you can see how good Windows 7 is. It seems to be similar to the relationship between Windows XP and Windows 7.

Extended support ended on January 14, 2020. On April 8, 2014, when support for the existing Windows XP was terminated, there was a huge wave both domestically and abroad, and the phenomenon was repeated this time as well.

The problem of adapting the interface is limited to 8, which changed the UI, and in Windows 10, where the start menu has returned, the operation method is not much different from that of Windows 7. Inconvenience to adapt is largely due to the unfamiliar design layout of Windows 10, which is different from Windows 7. This will be resolved when Windows 7 is replaced by Windows 10 and Windows 7 is used less often.

However, it is a big problem that it is difficult to run 8 or 10 smoothly on low-end PCs from a decade ago, and therefore, it is estimated that full replacement with Windows 10 will only be possible when Windows 7 for enterprise ends its support in 2023. Still, there are not many remaining units as government and public institutions, which suffered from the measles due to the XP incident, are strongly pursuing conversion projects.

As an aside, Thin PC and POSReady 7, which were released simultaneously worldwide on September 11, 2011 based on Windows 7, are subject to the existing Microsoft support policy (5 years of standard support + 5 years of extended support), and will be released in October 2021. Extended support was maintained until the 12th.

There is a certain fish on the desktop of the Windows 7 beta version, and the name of this fish is beta . It’s a beta version, so it’s a language play that was shown by adding the beta. Even in the Windows 8 beta version, it was arranged in the Windows 8 style and appeared on the boot screen.

In early 2007, after the release of Windows Vista for home use, the development of Windows 7 as the next version was announced just six months later. The beta version of Build 7000 was released on January 9, 2009, and although it is still under development, it received favorable reviews for its completeness and stability. At the time, it was a beta version, so it was not compatible with some software, but it was not a big problem because there are many alternative software. Later, the RC version was released on May 5, 2009, and was released simultaneously worldwide on October 22.

Details of the development process can be found in the Windows 7/Development document.

• • Officially supported: GeForce 6 series and higher (DirectX 9.0c hardware)

  • Runs: GeForce FX series or higher (DirectX 9.0a hardware)

• • Officially supported: Radeon HD 2000 series and above (DirectX 10.0 hardware)

  • Runs: Radeon 9700/9500 series or better (DirectX 9.0 hardware)

• • Official Support: GMA 950[42] or higher (DirectX 9.0 hardware)

  • No Security Updates on Computers with Kaby Lake or Newer Processors — i.e. You Can Install Windows 7, but Apr 11, 2017[43] It is not possible to update later, but there is a way to update Windows 7 after April 2017. Unless you use this method, you can only install updates on Windows 10 .
    ※ Intel has released Z370, H310C, B365, which are chipsets that support Windows 7, so it can be used again from Coffee Lake, but there is a compatibility problem. Therefore, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 is recommended.

In fact, Windows 7 has changed tremendously compared to its predecessor, Windows Vista, but in reality, there is not much difference internally compared to Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 applied.[44] The basic function of the kernel is not much different from Windows Vista. However, the security policy, which was suspicious and difficult, has been mitigated by reducing excessive warning/security and resource usage for smooth use in everyday life.[45] Also, as we moved from 6.0 to 6.1, a bunch of useful things were added.[46] There is also an improvement of the Aero UI. Windows Vista disables the Aero effect when the window is maximized and changes to a black theme.[47] Windows 7 has improved UI uniformity by maintaining the Aero effect even when the window is maximized.

It was one of the factors holding back Windows Vista, and the performance part that Microsoft emphasized to improve is definitely better than the previous one. # turn off some services[48] Some say that it is lighter than Windows XP if you put one set Unattended.xml at the top of the ISO file and install it . Even when installed on the same computer, it performs better than Windows Vista, but when Windows 7 came out, the performance of the computer improved by two and a half years compared to when Vista came out.[49] There is no need to complain about performance issues. As will be described later, the difference is further widened in systems using SSDs by officially supporting SSDs.

However, it is true that Windows 10 has become relatively heavy compared to the initial release as it has gone through numerous updates for a long time.

Since Windows 7, WDDM (Windows Display Driver Model) has been upgraded from version 1.0 to version 1.1, and due to this, older graphics cards of the DX 9 or lower generation cannot support WDDM 1.1 due to their structure.

NVIDIA just included the WDDM 1.0 driver for DX 9 cards in the existing forceware, and AMD (formerly ATi) promised to update once a quarter for the reason that the driver for DX 9 cards has a different structure from DX 10 cards, and DX 10 or higher The only difference is that it is separated from the driver for the card.[50]

Starting with WDDM 1.1, graphic memory virtualization, which could only operate in 3D mode (mainly 3D graphic games) in the existing WDDM 1.0, is also implemented in 2D mode (mainly 2D GUI), so that 2D graphics copy memory from video memory to system memory, duplicating memory. Occupy (waste of resources) problem solved. One of the secrets to making Windows 7 much lighter than the initial version of Windows Vista is reducing memory usage and improving speed.

Note that if you have a newer graphic card that supports WDDM 1.1 or later, you will be forcibly downgraded to WDDM 1.1 .

• Nvidia: 210 of GeForce 200 series, GT 220, GT 240 and later

• AMD: Radeon HD 3000 series and later

• Intel: After HD Graphics (Clockdale CPU’s built-in graphics)

• Nvidia: GTS 250, GTX 260, 275, 280, 285, 295 out of GeForce 8 series, 9 series, 200 series

• AMD: Radeon HD 2000 series

• Intel: GMA X3500 (G35 chipset), GMA 4500 (B43, Q43, Q45 chipset), X4500 (G41, G43 chipset), X4500 HD (G45 chipset)

• Nvidia: GeForce FX Series, 6 Series, 7 Series

• AMD (formerly ATi): Radeon 9700/9500/9800/9600 series, X000 series, X1000 series

• Intel: GMA 950 (945G family chipset), X3000 (G965 chipset), 3000 (946GZ, Q963, Q965 chipsets), 3100 (G31, G33, Q33, Q35 chipsets), 3150 (2nd generation Atom processors )

Until then, it goes into 3D mode and uses the CPU somewhat to accelerate the GPU.[53]

Starting from Windows 7 Service Pack 1 announced in February 2011, a new command set called Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) is supported. (The command cannot be used in the original Windows 7 without SP 1 applied.)

In order to use this, of course, the CPU must also support it. AVX instructions were introduced from Sandy Bridge in 2011 based on Intel CPUs.

AMD was introduced from Bulldozer.

SSD support is one of the features of the OS. Due to its nature, it is basic to cut only the lifespan of the SSD and automatically stop defragmentation, which has no effect, and the read and write method itself is optimized for flash memory. However, to use it properly, you must install Windows 7 from scratch, not an upgrade. In addition, only SATA SSDs are supported natively, and NVMe SSDs are not officially supported. NVMe is officially supported only in Windows 8.1 .

In addition, BitLocker, a disk encryption technology introduced from Windows Vista, can encrypt even the system partition. To encrypt the system partition with BitLocker, a separate boot partition is required in addition to the system partition to be booted during encryption. Commonly, the reserved partition that is created automatically in the partition setting part when installing Windows 7 refers to the boot partition to be used when encrypting the system partition with BitLocker. If the system partition is encrypted after installation, the reserved partition is used as the boot partition. The reason is that the minimum boot file must be copied to the reserved partition so that the boot process can take place. If you encrypt everything, you cannot boot.[54]

On April 24, 2009, it was announced that Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate versions support XP Mode. This is expected to make it possible to run Windows XP-based programs that are not compatible in a virtualized environment. go see

As expected, the Windows XP virtual mode released through the RC version is Windows XP running on Microsoft Virtual PC . This is a feature designed from the beginning with a focus on running older applications in a corporate environment, so multimedia/games, etc. do not work properly. (No 3D acceleration, limited DirectX support) However, unlike other VMs, WVPC (Windows Virtual PC) basically has improved interoperability between the guest OS and host OS (desktop integration), and since it is a feature aimed at corporate users in the first place (why the business version? (Please consider whether it is limited to and Ultimate.) The purpose of WVPC is to reduce compatibility issues and use the existing Windows XP office environment, but it is far from running older games. If you want more full-scale Direct3D support or OpenGL support, use VMware or VirtualBox.[55] It is better to use .

However, comparing Windows XP and Windows 7 only in terms of the speed at which certain applications (mostly games) run is futile. At a time when the Internet has become commonplace and all computers are connected to the network, Windows XP’s vulnerable structure is sure to become a good prey for attackers, and it is unclear how long the OS released in 2001 will be able to accept the latest technology and improve. Doubtful. In the case of Windows Vista or Windows 7, compared to the existing Windows XP, it has a significant level of defense against online attacks (UAC is not all of these defense mechanisms), and in fact, maintains system maintenance, ease of use and security in an idle state. There are much more tasks (= processes) to run for Windows than XP. In other words, it is difficult to think that it would be meaningful to put OSes with different workloads on the same line from the beginning, and even in terms of speed, if the final system specifications are above a certain level, it will take about 2 weeks after installation (the period during which the DB of SuperFetch is properly accumulated) After this is usually about two weeks), Vista generally has an edge over Windwos XP in terms of speed and responsiveness. As a result of installing and using Windows 7 and Windows XP on the same system (multi-booting), Windows 7 and Windows XP showed moderately similar speeds at first, and after about a month, Windows 7 became much more responsive. It may be because it is a 64-bit version, but I think the main reason is that resource management itself is much more efficient.) However, Windows XP also showed some performance improvement compared to the initial installation, although it is not as good as Windows 7. (This is due to the influence of Prefetch.)

XP Mode is not supported in the Home Premium version, but it does not mean that XP Mode itself cannot be used. If you install XP on Windows Virtual PC and install guest integration, it will work fine. What is said to be not supported here is the genuine authentication of XP Mode. It uses the OEM_SLP authentication method, and the authority for this is limited to the Professional and Ultimate licenses. If you have a separate license for XP itself, it will run regardless of the type of Windows 7. This is because it can be authenticated with the XP license itself.

Windows can be installed in a VHD file, which is a virtual hard drive, and the VHD file with Windows installed can be booted directly. With the support of VHD booting, people who install and manage Windows on VHD files can no longer use Windows under Windows 7 that does not support VHD booting (…). Really convenient. If you set all the settings for each VHD according to the environment you are using, the situation where the OS is twisted is less and when a problem occurs, you only need to overwrite the backed up VHD file. Alternatively, create a child VHD by using the differencing VHD function, boot and use it, and replace only the child VHD file when you like it, and it will be initialized to the parent VHD state. If you don’t know what it is, search for VHD on the portal. This feature is limited by license and is only available on Enterprise and Ultimate.[56] This feature shines on public PCs. You can create a free self-healing solution using a differentiating VHD . # # However, system performance index cannot be measured when booting from VHD. In addition, the disk performance is inferior in terms of benchmarks, but it is not so much to be concerned about in terms of experience.

The UI of Personal Settings in Control Panel, where you can change various options in the Windows UI, has been improved to be more intuitive. Also, DreamScene on Windows Vista[57] Instead of this deletion, it is now possible to apply multiple photos to the desktop in the form of a slide show. Using this, you can create a theme by combining the slide show wallpaper, window color, and window sound, and you can download and apply the theme from the official Windows homepage.

The ribbon menu used in Office has been applied to Paint and Wordpad, and the calculator has become more sophisticated.

The existing Taskbar has been reorganized into the Superbar, so that only the icons on the taskbar are displayed in a simple way.[58] It has been changed so that it is integrated with fast execution and does not take up a lot of space unnecessarily. «Show Desktop» also existed in Windows CE.[59] was ported to Windows 7. Many people think that Windows 8 is the version that started to support the touch screen, but in fact, it was Windows 7 that Microsoft began to be aware of the touch screen. The reason for this is the thicker taskbar compared to previous Windows versions, which prevents accidental touches when touched with a stubby finger. In addition, if you hold down the icon and drag it up, the effect of pressing the right mouse button appears.[60] There are also pen and touch screen items added to the system information. Tablet PCs prior to Windows 7 had a stylus pen, literally .

Convenient window gestures such as dragging and shaking a window to minimize all windows except for that one, dragging a window to the top to maximize it, dragging a window down in a maximized state to return it to its previous size, dragging a window to either side to maximize only half of the screen in that direction, and so on. function was added.

From Windows Vista , the support range of the built-in image solution under the name of ‘Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore’ has been expanded to the home premium area (Home Basic/Starter is not supported).[61] The name ‘Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore’ has disappeared, and only the name of system image creation and restoration remains.

If you use this system restore, you will return the settings of your computer to the past. Therefore, if you are a user who has a problem, you can use this function to solve most of the computer problems. However, note that disk protection must be turned on to restore. Also, a system restore may undo recent changes, even if they are not lost.

By adding a maintenance function to the existing security center, it is easy to manage not only security status but also overall computer optimization and stability.

It is a completed type of Windows Vista , which has heard a lot in many ways , and has become the mother of Windows.

• Kernel : Starting with Vista, it has been maintained for nearly 10 years. Windows 10 also almost maintained this kernel, but the kernel version was changed just before the official launch.

• Taskbar : Superbar was first introduced to become the basis for modern Windows UI. Of course, the starting button disappears and the new button has been added, but the basic concept of «Label deletion, grouping, large buttons, preview window» continues to the end. In particular, Windows 11 has been deleted as part of legacy removal.

• Management Center: In Windows 7, there was a notification named «Stored Message», and you could see the notification by pressing the flag icon. Of course, this feature is different from the «system tray notification» that was floated with the balloon at that time, and the message stored is almost absorbed into the notification function, but this management center concept is integrated with Charmba, leading to the notification center of Windows 10 .

Linus Torvalds also tried it and said it was very good… Huh? On the surface , the reason Apple stopped advertising Get a Mac was because of Windows 7.

Thanks to this, it has been sold at the fastest pace in OS history and has brought a lot of market share of Windows Vista. Shortly after its release, it seems to have sold more than 150 million copies . picture #

Recently , whenever Windows squeaks , I miss the old Windows , and I miss Windows in the heyday . This evaluation has had a great influence on culturally, and in modern times, the genre of Prudiger Aero was founded.[62]

There is a magazine article commemorating the 2nd anniversary of Windows 7. Archive[63] At the time , Microsoft felt the success of Windows 7.

Looking back on the 2nd anniversary of Windows 7, an attractive operating system …

October 22, 2009 is the official release date of Windows 7. It’s already been over two years since Windows 7 arrived.

Windows was first released in 1985. It has been helping users use their PCs conveniently for a considerable period of time, 26 years already.
During this period , many window​​ Version​​ It’s out . It’s called Windows 7 because it’s the seventh version of Windows .

Some of you may be wondering after reading this far. At first glance, there are quite a few versions of Windows, so the 7th Windows seems a bit strange. Of course, there are Windows 3.1 Workgroup, Windows NT , Windows 2000 , etc., but there is a server version released for corporate use. If you don’t count the versions , Windows 7 is the seventh operating system for PCs to be released. Surely MS could n’t have gotten the numbers wrong? Windows 7 has only been around for a short time in the not-so-short history of Windows, but it has achieved more amazing results than any other operating system. Let’s take a quick look at its two-year history.

How was Windows 7 born?

Windows 7 is an operating system that has overcome the regrets of its predecessor , Windows Vista. Windows Vista, which was released six years after Windows XP, was a well-made operating system with many improvements to the point that it could be considered a completely different operating system from the previous one, but unfortunately, it was not well-received by consumers. MS humbly accepted this and began producing Windows 7.

As mentioned above, although Windows 7 means the 7th Windows, it is an operating system based on Windows Vista technology . The actual Windows Vista version is 6.0, and Windows 7 is 6.1. Because of this, it doesn’t give you the option to upgrade from XP, but it does give you the option to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista.[64]

In Windows 7, the parts that were pointed out to be inconvenient in Windows Vista have been significantly modified. The user account control function, which caused inconvenience, has been greatly relaxed, and memory usage has been greatly improved. The installation process and booting speed are much faster than Vista, and the user interface is more convenient.

Especially Windows 7[65] Unlike Vista, which required somewhat high specifications, it is well optimized and can be used relatively comfortably even on PCs with not very high specifications. This played a role in increasing the number of users.

This lighter and faster Windows 7 was unveiled at CES in 2009, received positive reviews from experts and users, and was officially released on October 22 of that year. It’s been 2 years and 9 months since Windows Vista was released.

Windows 7 continues to grow, 240 million copies sold in one year

Windows 7, which has been evaluated as the most progressive operating system that retains the advantages of Windows Vista while adding new features and complementing its shortcomings, has been selling like crazy ever since its release.

As a result, sales exceeded 100 million units within 6 months of launch. This is equivalent to 1/10th of the world’s PCs, making Windows 7 the PC operating system that sold 100 million units in the shortest period of time. This is a very encouraging result, especially since it was achieved without releasing Service Pack 1, which improved problems and added new features. For reference, Windows Vista surpassed 100 million units only 11 months after its release .

And more than 240 million units were sold within a year of launch. At this time, according to a survey by Net Applications in the United States, Windows 7’s global operating system market share was calculated to be 17%.

In the year since Windows 7 was released, many changes have occurred in Korea. First of all, in Korea, Windows 7 sold more than 4 million units in one year. In particular, demand has surged in the domestic PC market. 95% of PCs on the market were Windows 7-based, so that’s all said and done. PCs from major PC manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics , LG Electronics , and Sambo Computer were all running Windows 7, except for some netbooks.

In addition, various companies such as Samsung Electronics, Hanjin Shipping, KBS , and Korean Air will also introduce Windows 7. In just one year, Windows 7 has become mainstream both at home and in business.

Windows 7’s popularity continues to decline even after its second anniversary

Windows 7, which has been evaluated as the most progressive operating system that retains the advantages of Windows Vista while adding new features and complementing its shortcomings, has been selling like crazy ever since its release.

Windows 7 sales exceed 350 million units in just 1 year and 6 months since its release. Of course it doesn’t stop there. Showing unstoppable growth, it has sold 450 million units worldwide in just two years since its launch. It is recorded as the best-selling operating system in the shortest amount of time in Microsoft operating system history.

At the same time, quite meaningful results are also produced. According to StatCounter, as of October, Windows 7’s market share was 40.19%, finally surpassing Windows XP’s 38.9%. Windows XP, which has been loved by users for 10 years, has finally been taken down from the throne of the operating system by Windows 7.

As a result, Windows 7 will take the top spot in the global operating system market share, displacing Windows XP, which had maintained its undisputed first place two years after its release. Windows Vista ranks third.

Why was Windows 7 able to make such a big splash in just two years?

First of all, most reviews say that it is truly excellent in terms of speed and stability. Although Windows XP is a much-loved product, it is difficult to give it a high score in terms of stability. Anyone who uses a PC wants to turn it on quickly, work stably without errors, and shut it down quickly. Windows 7 has reduced the initial boot speed to less than 30 seconds and provides high stability so that you can use it without problems even if you do not turn it off for several days.

Second, you can increase work efficiency through convenient sharing functions. Even before, sharing seemed difficult. However, Windows 7 allows you to easily connect PCs using the HomeGroup function, so you can easily use the data you want on any PC.

Third, you can easily connect and use various peripheral devices. When you connect a new device to your PC, you may need to change the device settings or adjust it to suit your usage environment. At times like this, many people find it difficult. However, Windows 7 has a device stage function that not only automatically connects most hardware but also makes setup easier. Even if you don’t have extensive knowledge about PCs, you can easily connect and use the device you want.

Lastly, it allows you to use your favorite functions more conveniently, quickly and conveniently. Most PC users have files or applications that they use frequently. Windows 7 makes it easy to use frequently used items without having to use the mouse multiple times using jump lists and favorite functions.

Two years have passed since Windows 7 was released. Many companies are replacing Windows XP with Windows 7, and Microsoft no longer sells XP.[66] In particular, it is predicted that all operating systems will move to Windows 7 in 2014.[67]

Windows 7 is a very attractive operating system, but many people in Korea still use Windows XP. Windows XP is a good operating system, but since it is 10 years old, it is not stable enough to be used in today’s era. Windows 7 is essential to fully utilize the capabilities of modern hardware. If you are still using Windows XP, why not switch to Windows 7, which provides high stability and convenient features? You will not regret it as it is a premium operating system that has already been thoroughly tested for two years.

Prior to launch, 777 limited editions were released on a first-come-first-served basis. The prevailing opinion is that the price is set high. However, when the price of the regular version was revealed, the price of the limited edition was not high, but the Microsoft Store was just a disaster.[68] The Home Premium version provides a green arc mouse, and the Ultimate version provides a black arc mouse and 8 GB USB memory. Additionally, discount events targeting college students were held around the world, allowing people with college emails to purchase upgraded versions of the Home Premium and Professional versions at a very low price. This upgraded version was very easy to install cleanly.[69]

Microsoft distributes many products for free[70] It also held a discount event for college students and distributed a 90-day trial version for the first time as a client rather than a server.[71][72] There was also criticism that Microsoft’s marketing intentions were strong, but ordinary users were able to purchase genuine products at low prices.

Since it was a popular version from the time of its release, it was popular in Korea . There was even a jalbang .

The official version was «6.1.7600.16385». It is an improvement of Windows Vista.[73] On the desktop, the entire version is not available and only «build 7600» is displayed.[74] Originally, 6.1.7600.16384 is correct for the second drop, but a serious bug was found in the RTM Sign-off process, and the delta build up 1, 16385, to release RTM SIGN-OFF.

In Korea , Home Premium, Professional (for general users), and Ultimate are supplied as versions that can be purchased by general users, and Starter edition is provided as an OEM for netbooks . In addition, Business, which was in Vista, has been renamed Professional (for business use), and along with it, Enterprise is provided in two editions.

• Windows 7 Starter
  Originally, it was an edition developed for the purpose of being released only to developing countries, but it was provided for netbooks as netbooks were popular at this time. Cannot use more than 2 GB of RAM , no Aero theme[75] , Unable to change wallpaper[76] etc., there are restrictions. It is provided only for OEM use, so individuals cannot purchase it, and it is provided only for 32-bit. In the beginning, you could only run up to three programs like Windows XP Starter Edition, but the update removed the limit. The Windows 7 Starter version alone has a different default desktop. As an aside, if you unlock Personalization and Transparency, Aero Theme is only for Windows 7.

• Windows 7 Home Basic
  This edition was originally developed to be provided as an OEM for low-end PCs, but for some reason, it is only released in countries where PCs are not widely available, such as developing countries. So in Windows 7, Starter and Home Basic have become different names and reality . Usually, in those countries, PC specifications are low, so an operating system that runs even with low specifications is needed. Therefore, Windows Aero cannot be applied, etc.[77] There are restrictions. Up to 8 GB of RAM can be installed only on 64-bit versions.[78] Although it has not been released in Korea, it can be installed by receiving the genuine iso file and deleting the ei.cfg file.[79] Of course, there is no reason to do so in the first place, and since a license is not issued, the product cannot be authenticated unless an authentication tool is used.[80] As a side note, if you unlock transparency effects and personal settings through the tool, only country-specific themes and Windows 7 are available. The 64-bit version applies starting from this edition.

  The starter and this version are the last SKU with a screen color window. Starting with Windows 8 or later, screen color window access is not possible.

• Windows 7 Home Premium
  Suitable for home use. It has decent features and is the cheapest version you can buy. Windows Aero was applied from this version and was the most commonly used version. This is because this is installed on branded PCs. As a side note, the licensing FAQ[81] According to , the Home Premium version refers to an edition that gathers only features suitable for use at home and does not mean location restrictions. In other words, if you purchased a genuine product or the computer brought to your business has a genuine Home Premium product preloaded, you can use the Home Premium version at work. However, if you have signed a volume licensing contract or are considering signing a contract, Home Premium is not subject to volume licensing, so you must purchase Professional for first-time users, and there are additional requirements such as other appropriate versions. Up to 16GB of RAM can be installed. The desktop slideshow and theme functions are applied starting from this edition.

• Windows 7 Professional
  This is the version that was originally intended to be released under the name Business.[82] From this version, Windows XP Mode is supported. It is widely used in PC rooms and general offices. It’s Windows 7 Home Premium with XP Mode and a few more features. As the original intended name (Business) suggests, it is for businesses, but it was also released for general users.

• Windows 7 Professional for Embedded Systems
  A special edition for embedded licenses that provides all components of Windows 7 Professional. It is the successor to Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems. Up to 192 GB of RAM can be installed.

• Windows 7 Enterprise
  It is provided only by contracting volume license and SA. If you sign a contract without SA, Professional is provided. Usually, companies sign a contract with Microsoft to purchase and use dozens to hundreds of licenses. There is a method of receiving re-authentication through the KMS server of the internal network every 180 days, and a method of receiving MAK through the Microsoft server as before. Superficially similar to Ultimate, but without games. It is natural that there are no games because it is for corporate use, but it is precisely disabled. You need to activate it separately in ‘Windows Features’. The same goes for Windows 7 Professional. Also Windows 10 Free updates are not possible. The same goes for Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise. Original volume licenses are not included in the free upgrade. Even the Professional Edition is not eligible for a free upgrade if it is certified as a volume license. Used on some computers in educational institutions.
  There is no difference from Windows 7 Ultimate below except that volume licensing and games are turned off by default.

• Windows 7 Ultimate
  With the top edition, it supports all functions. Although it is a version developed for home use, the price is the most expensive, so it can be a waste of money to use for home use.[83][84] Rather, people who specialize in PCs and some families are targeted. But if you buy it in a retail version, there was no big difference from the professional version above.

• Windows 7 Ultimate for Embedded Systems
  A special edition for embedded licenses that provides all components of Windows 7 Ultimate. It is the successor to Windows Vista Ultimate for Embedded Systems. Up to 192GB of RAM can be installed. When upgrading from Professional to Ultimate using Windows Anytime Upgrade, the space on C: is reduced by about 11 GB.

• Windows Embedded Standard 7
  It is a successor version of Windows XP Embedded and Windows Embedded Standard (2009) and is for embedded systems designed for a single or special purpose . Since it is an edition tailored for embedded specialization, the support period is longer than the for Embedded Systems edition, which provides embedded functions as a bonus, and you can freely select installation options or components for each field when installing. However, please note that the Korean language pack must be installed separately. If you are using it for practical purposes, we recommend the Set top box template. There are more drivers than the basic template, and if you google a little, you can find templates with all the drivers installed. However, unlike other versions, this version reboots every 10 to 20 minutes if it is not authenticated or the authentication is released, so you must be especially careful about this.[85] The support end date is October 13, 2020 , and the ESU end date is October 10, 2023.

• Windows Embedded POSReady 7
  The successor to Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, this is an edition optimized for POS devices and kiosks based on Windows Embedded Standard 7. It is a Windows optimized for POS, and there are some differences from general Windows, such as limited window previews and the absence of some features. The end of support date is scheduled for October 12, 2021, and the end of ESU is scheduled for October 8, 2024. It is the only edition with the longest support period among all editions of Windows 7.

• Windows Thin PC(WinTPC)
  Based on Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP 1, it is designed to be lightly operated for companies using low-end legacy PCs such as netbooks . A similar relationship to the FLP version of Windows XP . It is provided only to companies that have signed an SA contract. It was released only in English, not in a multilingual version like the general lineup. However, since it is a version based on Embedded Standard 7, it is possible to install the Korean language pack separately . A 90-day trial version is being distributed on the official page . Official download link. This version is also available only in 32-bit version. The support end date is October 12, 2021. Aero can be used. However, when installing, it can be installed with only 3 to 4 GB, which is less than Windows Vista. By default, there is no search function and run function in the start menu. Search is unavoidable, but the run function can be activated in the taskbar settings. Windows features cannot be turned off or turned on, so it is impossible to use software that uses Windows features such as OneNote, but this is also the case with POSReady 7. Unfortunately, however, this SKU, unlike other versions, is not subject to extended ESU support.

• N/K/KN/E at the end of SKU
  All SKUs were released to meet the corrective measures issued by the governments of each country for Microsoft’s violation of antitrust laws, and there is no difference in function other than the corrective measures.
  K was established in 2006 as a messenger center / media player center in accordance with the corrective measures of the Fair Trade Commission of Korea.[86] These are SKUs with added links. E is a SKU with Internet Explorer removed and exists only in Windows 7. N and KN are SKUs with Windows Media Player removed. KN additionally has a link added to allow installation of third-party messengers/media players like K. Note that K and KN have disappeared starting with Windows 10 version 1607 due to the expiration of the mandate in 2016, and the K edition has been integrated into the general SKU with K removed, and the KN edition has disappeared altogether.[87]

Some of the contents written here are mixed with those applicable from Windows Vista , so you need to read them carefully.

• heavy. The advantage of being lightweight is that it is lighter than Windows Vista in the early days .[88] First of all, the stability of Windows 7 itself is very good, but accordingly, the file size is too large and the OS itself is very heavy. In particular, if you go to 64-bit, which uses a lot of processor, it becomes even heavier, and if you go below the officially recommended RAM of 4 GB, you will use virtual memory stored on the hard disk and stutter severely. In addition, if you do a clean installation, the size of the update downloaded in the background is enormous, so it slows down to an unusable level until you finish all the updates. This is actually a thing of the past, and Windows 10 has already become too heavy to use on hard disks.

• When installing with a USB 3.0 memory stick, there is a problem that the installation fails with the error ‘Could not create a new system partition or find an existing system partition’. The solution is surprisingly simple. Remove the USB memory and press ‘Next’ on the partition selection screen where the error occurs. The error message is ‘Windows cannot be installed to the location you selected. Check your media drive. Detailed information: 0x80300001.’ In that state, if you reconnect the USB memory and press refresh, the Windows installer will recognize the connected disk for a while and install normally.

• For those who use a wide monitor, there are cases where the graphics driver for Windows 7 does not support a fixed aspect ratio, and because of this, there are minor complaints such as the phenomenon that the screen stretches left and right. If the monitor itself has a fixed aspect ratio option, it can be easily solved, but it can be solved by tweaking the compatibility option. The game itself runs pretty damn well. This is because no other operating system carries a legacy system as well as Windows. This compatibility is both an advantage and a disadvantage of Windows, as such a massive legacy system is preventing simultaneous operating system replacement.

• Diablo 2 , StarCraft 1, Age of Empires run unstable. After installing the patch, it stabilized to some extent, but in the case of StarCraft 1, the screen was severely broken. A previous release section on Blizzard’s support page provided a registry fix for this issue, but that entry has now been removed. In the case of StarCraft 1, it was resolved while supporting the latest operating system with the 1.18 patch.

• You cannot run 16-bit programs on the 64-bit version. This is a characteristic of the AMD64 architecture.[89] Because of this, you can run it by installing the 32-bit version. If you need to run a DOS-based program, a program that runs on Windows below Windows 3.1, or a 16-bit-based program that came out between Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, you must install the 32-bit version and use it as a multi-boot or use a virtual machine.

• HiDPI is not properly supported, causing problems in high-resolution displays such as UHD or high PPI displays of 300 or higher . In order to take full advantage of these displays, you must use at least Windows 8.1 or later.

• Frequent freezing on older systems (using older drivers). If you do a Google search for Windows 7 Freezing, you’ll get a lot of results. But it’s been a year since the hotfix came out. As always, the vast majority of Windows errors (if not memory) are driver issues.

• ‘Save selected part’ disappeared in Paint . It is now impossible to save the selection while maintaining the edited image, and instead you have to use the crop function to replace the image being edited with the selection and then just save it. Also, the list is truncated if you have too many fonts installed on your system due to a limited number of font choices.

• As the ‘engineering’ function of the calculator has been subdivided, it is impossible to perform base calculation and decimal point calculation at the same time. For those who used both number calculation and base conversion in XP, it was inconvenient because they had to calculate while changing the mode every time. Divided into only four modes, each function has been expanded.

• Unlike XP, the icons are forced to automatically sort and cannot be turned off. Exceptionally, the desktop can be disabled by right-clicking→View→unchecking Automatically arrange icons, but other items such as the Start menu and explorer cannot be disabled. Quite a few people are uncomfortable with this, and programs that make this possible are circulating on the net. However, even this program is not perfect, as it has some quirks and bugs. Alternatively, a registry modification may enable custom arrangement of icons.

• The marble throwing game included in Windows Vista has been deleted. Also, Windows Movie Maker has seriously deteriorated in functionality compared to Vista. In addition, various apps that were added to Vista were removed.

• Among the basic gadgets, there is a «Weather» gadget, but for some reason this gadget cannot be used in Korea.[90][91] In this case, uninstall the existing weather gadget, download the personally modified weather gadget, and reinstall it. The gadget function was later removed from Windows 8 for security reasons .[92] The Weather app in Windows 10 can be used normally.

• There is a problem with the core utilization of the AMD FX series . If you install Windows 7 on a computer with an AMD FX series, you won’t be able to use half of the cores well. This problem was fundamentally resolved only in Windows 10 .

• Update-related problems: Because of the update-related problems, which will be described later , it has long been a trend among comducks to use homebrew programs developed by individual Russian developers that handle one-click processing .[93] It was popular as a substitute for SP 2, which did not come out as a package of updates, and has been steadily maintained even after the rollup update transition.

  • Only one service pack is provided, after which only patches are provided on a monthly basis. However, the patches are so complicatedly twisted, and there are surprisingly quite a few updates that make the situation worse than before installation if installed incorrectly.[94] Quite hard. And once it is twisted, the update is not possible while outputting a code like 80073712. If the update is stopped, it can be used in that state, but the update is cut off, so there is no answer . Even though I followed the solution from Microsoft, suddenly the message ‘This Windows is not genuine’ appears even though I am using genuine Windows.[95] It doesn’t happen very often after the rollup update is introduced.

  • Currently , Microsoft is focusing on the latest version of Windows such as Windows 10, and the changed rollup update model has been settled, and above all, since extended support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020, SP 2 is unlikely to come out .

  • In May 2016, a simple rollup update KB3125574 , which integrates all the updates released so far , was distributed to solve the problem of too many updates and abnormal update check time. First, download and install the April 2015 servicing stack update KB3020369 , then install KB3125574.

  • In May 2016, Microsoft announced that it would introduce the cumulative update model of Windows 10 to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 . It means that several updates that were previously separated will be integrated into one package and provided. Accordingly, after four months of pilot operation , the change model was introduced in earnest starting from the October 2016 KB3185330 update, and monthly rollup updates and monthly rollup preview updates that integrated security updates and quality updates began to be provided. This cuts down on the number of updates you have to download each month. Security-only updates that incorporate only security updates are also available, but are not distributed through the Windows Update app and are only available through the Microsoft Update Catalog site. Because rollup updates are cumulative , the latest rollup update includes all previously released rollup updates .

  • When you newly install Windows, there are cases where the update does not proceed and only appears while checking. A hotfix, KB947821 , has been released to address this, but some users say that the problem occurs even after installation. The best way is to install IE 11 → Stack Update KB3020369 → Rollup Update KB3125574 → Latest Rollup Update. As of May 2018, the cleanest way to install updates.

  • Before the rollup update, there were already a lot of updates, but there was a limit to securing capacity through disk cleanup because it was not possible to clean up the trash files after the update. The cleanup feature was added in the September 2016 update KB3185278 .

  • The KB3133977 update, released in March 2016, caused problems in Windows 7 systems based on ASUS motherboards, rendering them unbootable. This is because ASUS motherboards have Secure Boot enabled by default, but Windows 7 does not have Secure Boot function. Until mid-April, few people experienced problems because it was an optional update, but after that, it was suddenly changed to a ‘recommended update’ and became an automatic update target, eventually causing a commotion. The solution is surprisingly simple, but you can turn off Secure Boot in the motherboard BIOS. how to turn it off. How to turn it off (on a laptop).

  • If the update is tightly twisted in the 32-bit version, program compatibility problems such as classic games cannot be checked, «16-bit Windows subsystem error» appears, and a fatal problem occurs that does not work until compatibility mode. In this case, 16-bit version program compatibility and execution itself are impossible. If executed forcibly, only config.nt-related errors are emitted, and methods such as modifying or replacing Config.nt, Autoexec.nt, and Command.com on the Internet, or disabling 16-bit compatibility restrictions in service.msc do not work. don’t In this severely twisted case, even if you select the ‘Fix Compatibility Problem’ option that appears when you right-click, the troubleshooter does not even appear and only errors such as 0x80004005 appear. The reason is that a component of Windows is corrupted. This is a problem that has nothing to do with upgrade patch conflicts or compatibility blocking. The only way to be sure of fixing errors caused by components is to do a clean install.

  • Installing the KB3086255 update from September 2015 won’t run classic games protected by the SafeDisk DRM lock family. This is because the service does not run because the DRM driver is disabled for security reasons. The way to turn the service back on is Start → Run → cmd (administrator privileges) → sc config secdrv start= auto → sc start secdrv.

• In the case of some games, when running while connected to the network in Windows 7, the CPU usage reaches 100% and the game runs with a delay of about 3 to 5 minutes. This occurs in Vista ~ Windows 10.[96] The game explorer installed in communicates with the MS server when running the game, but in June 2019, MS closed the server and made infinite connection attempts. However, as the existence of this function in the game explorer was low (especially with the popularization of Steam , the meaning of the function’s existence almost disappeared), there are not many games that are eligible for it.

  • Open Registry Editor

  • Go to «HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsGameUXServiceLocation».

  • Create a string called «Games» and specify the value as «localhost» or «127.0.0.1».

  • Try running the game.

Note: The Administrator account completely bypasses User Account Control and is very bad for security. It is recommended not to activate the Administrator account unless absolutely necessary.

When the user registration screen appears after the installation is complete and the system restarts, press Shift + F10 to open the CMD window,

net user administrator /active:yes
taskkill /f /im msoobe.exe

If you apply the above, you will immediately enter the Administrator account. However, if you use the above information, you cannot use the F8 recovery mode.[97] As a safe method, simply finish MSOOBE, run a command prompt with administrator privileges, and run the above net~ command to activate the Administrator account. After that, you can delete the account created during the MSOOBE process from the Admin account.

Alternatively, you can download autounattend.xml from here and put it in the top root of the installation.

You can also enable it by renaming the Administrator account. This method can even change the user directory name of the Administrator account. After installation, press Win + R keys and enter secpol.msc . Then, double-click Local Policy → Security Policy → Account: Rename Administrator account and enter the desired name. After that, go to Account:Admistrator Account Status, check Use, and log off . This will allow you to rename the Administrator account as well as rename the user directory. However, be aware that using this method may cause errors in some programs or loss of administrator accounts.

The problem with playing classic CD games is that the background music track doesn’t loop.

There is a way to change the logon wallpaper by manipulating the registry.

Open the run window with the Windows + R key and type regedit there to run the registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Authentication > LogonUI > Background (if some of the paths do not exist, you need to create a key) and right Click New → DWORD (32-bit) to create a value. Set the name to OEMBackground and set the data to 1. Then, exit the Registry Editor, open Explorer, go to the drive where Windows is installed > Windows > System32 > oobe, create an info folder, and create a backgrounds folder in it. Copy the image file you want to change here and change the file name to backgroundDefault. And when you go to the logon screen, you can see that the background screen has been changed. Note that the extension of the image to be changed must be jpg and the file size must not exceed 256KB. otherwise it won’t change[98]

Alternatively, there is a way to modify imageres.dll directly , but it is quite difficult and can be a dangerous task, so be careful.

As an aside, if you use Logon Studio, an external program, you can change it without limiting the capacity. (Limited to all editions of Vista&7)

Since Windows 8 allows you to change the logon screen, this method is no longer available.

Change in Windows market share worldwide from January 2009 to July 2015.

After its official release in October 2009, it gradually began to replace XP and Vista. worldwide in October 2011.[99] , Republic of Korea in May 2012[100] It surpassed XP’s market share and took first place.

In the case of the world , due to the demand for Windows 8 and 8.1, it has been maintained in the mid-60% range since 2013, while in Korea , the demand for these two is low, and the market share continued to increase until the first half of 2014, reaching the low 80% range. .

Sorry to disturb you while working. However, this is an important point.

Your PC is running Windows 7 RTM, a version that is out of support .

Windows Update security fixes that can protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software are no longer available.
We recommend upgrading to Windows 10 for the latest security features and malware protection.

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 not applied end of support message

Картинка с сайта: en.namu.wiki

This is the end of support window.[103]

Картинка с сайта: en.namu.wiki

This is a full-screen guidance window that appears when booting for the first time after the end of support. This information window program exists under the name of EOSNotify.exe in the System32 folder.

Support for Windows 7 RTM versions without Service Pack 1 ended on April 9, 2013, so Service Pack 1 must be installed to receive support.

Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 also entered extended support after general support ended on January 13, 2015. Regular support supports feature updates, security updates, and quality updates, and extended support only supports security updates and quality updates.

As of January 15, 2016, Microsoft announced that Windows 7 will not be supported for processors after Intel Kaby Lake and AMD Ryzen, and support for those chipsets was last reached with the April 2017 rollup update KB4015549 . However, a program has been released that enables updates after April 2017 .[104] AMD Carrizo also came close to ending support chipsets after the April update , but the blockage was lifted in the June rollup update KB4022719 .

In March 2018, the Rollup Update KB40888875 has been reporting blue screen errors in SSE2 unpaid processors since the KB4088875, and Microsoft has given up solving the problem in June. In the end, support for SSE2 unpaid processors, including the Pentium III, ended in June 2018. Rollup update KB40888875 may be removed, but even if you delete the KB4088875, the error will continue to occur if you install the latest roll -up update. Since it is a cumulative update, later rollup updates include the contents of the KB4088875.

Extended support ended on January 14, 2020. At the end of the day, confusion is expected, just as it was at XP. If Windows 7 has received a bad reputation as a failure, there will be no problem in switching to a higher version, but it is so well made that it will not be easy to throw it away even if support ends. Windows 7 is still widely used in PC rooms . However, as mentioned above, Windows 7’s share continues to fall, being pushed back by Windows 10 in January 2019, and fell below 20% in February 2020, more than a year later.

If you can’t upgrade , you need to take advantage of the LAN line by taking advantage of the experience at the end of the 2014 Windows XP . After the end of support, it is the responsibility of the consumer even if a security vulnerability occurs. Of course, even after 2020, the Chrome browser or Firefox browser is very likely to support the latest version of Windows 7 for a while. There is already an example of Windows XP. Microsoft’s support ended in April 2014, but the Google Chrome browser’s support ended in early 2016. On the other hand, Vista’s support was cut off at the end of 2016 as the XP. However, because the basic security elements such as UAC are slightly different from the end of Windows XP support, compatibility is more than security at personal levels.[105]

For reference, the POSReady 7 operating system released on September 11, 2011 will remain in extended support until October 12, 2021. Therefore, there is a way to take advantage of this and use a little trick, like in the days of Windows XP Service Pack 3, to recognize the existing Windows 7 as Force 7 and download security updates. However, due to enhanced security, it is inconvenient to manually download update packets one by one. If you take the risk, it will be possible to use it at least until the second half of next year.

As the end of extended support begins to materialize, Microsoft announced the Windows 7 Extended Security Update (ESU) for enterprises on September 6, 2018. The program will give businesses with Windows 7 Professional and Enterprise editions a chance to move to Windows 10 while minimizing end-of-support disruption. It is a paid program that supports up to 3 years and the cost increases every year . This means that when businesses apply for Windows 7 Extended Security Updates (ESU), they will receive additional extended support through January 2023.

After support ends, computers that cannot install Windows 8 or higher are expected to face security threats.[106]

Windows Thin PC will be supported through 2021. A 478-pin computer would have earned a year. If it is genuine, it is not extended because you have the freedom to upgrade to Windows 10. Of course, the free upgrade to Windows 10 has officially ended, but even after that, if you upgrade with the installation media tool, you can activate it.

When support for Windows 7, etc. ends, there are also moves to continue privately providing security updates separate from Microsoft’s official support. For example, as reported in the article, the Slovenian security company ACROS Security is attempting it under the name ‘0Patch’. #[107][108]

If gaming users still use Windows 7 as their main focus, the prospects for the future will not be good. This is because new games released on various game platforms, including the Steam platform, are increasingly discontinuing support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. So far, it can be used in the same environment as 10, but at the point when corporate support ends in 2023, it is highly likely that support for peripheral programs will end quickly.

Of course, games that require users’ agility and reaction speed, such as indie games or FPS genres, still provide Windows 7 as the minimum specification, but it is gradually supported one by one after security updates are stopped in January 2020 looks like it will break In fact, in the case of Windows Vista, Steam service support was discontinued in 2017, and Windows 7, the last operating system that supports the Windows 4-color logo, is also not far behind the history.

Since January 2020, when extended support for Windows 7 is only 10 days away, the government and public institutions are in a state of emergency, as was the case with the end of XP service support in 2014. In particular, this situation is getting more serious because most of the cases where the OS was upgraded from the existing Windows XP to Windows 7.

In particular, Windows 8 and Windows 10 , which were released as successors to Windows 7, have very serious shortcomings such as somewhat crude OS interface configuration and forced automatic update activation, so the problem is more prominent.

The government has expressed its ambition to solve security problems by investing urgently in the budget to upgrade and install about 6 million computers with the existing Windows 7 operating system to Windows 10, but public institutions, etc. It is a situation in which OS upgrades are hesitant due to a problem with running programs .

All 295 computers in the offices of members of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea are using the Windows 7 operating system. It is said that there is a lot of work in the parliamentary office and it is difficult to replace it while the National Assembly is in session. # It means that it will be used until May, when the 21st National Assembly elections are over and all the computers in the parliamentary offices are collected. However, the National Assembly Secretariat signed up for Microsoft’s paid support program in advance, and it is well prepared, such as reducing the cost to about half of the list price through a large-scale agreement.

YouTube has announced that it will no longer support Internet Explorer 11 as of March 1, 2020. # This is because YouTube’s new UI, which has been changed since 2017, is not compatible with the existing Explorer browser, which means that Windows Vista and lower operating systems, which have been discontinued, are no longer usable. For Windows 7 and higher operating systems, other major browsers such as Chrome and Firefox maintain support, so you can use them without any major issues if you switch browsers.

As we enter May 2020, the share of Windows 7 is going down even further. In particular, local PC cafes that had maintained Windows 7 until the very end switched all seats to Windows 10 through PC desktop upgrades. However, the computer time vending machine unique to PC rooms still maintains Windows 7 for some reason.[109]

Currently, games that support multiplayer online are gradually being phased out. This is because most games released in 2020 require Windows 7 64-bit as the minimum specification, and Windows 10 is recommended as the recommended specification. Moreover, as the PC platform game market undergoes a generational change, the number of games with DirectX 12 as the recommended specification is increasing, so the future of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, which only supports DirectX 11.1, is truly bleak. In addition, contrary to what is specified as the minimum specifications, there are cases where it is impossible to run in the Windows 7 environment due to DirectX version problems. In fact, extended support has now ended, and the only paid extended support that is being extended is only for the enterprise version, so it is a natural result. Still, users can somehow find a way to run famous games. One extreme example is Minecraft RTX .

In addition, after December 31, 2020, all Flash extensions of the browser operating system will be discontinued. Because of this, Windows 7, which stopped supporting the Internet Explorer 11 version on January 14, 2020, will no longer be able to update the functionality of the browser. It doesn’t seem to be supported.

As we enter October 2020, Windows 7 is gradually being phased out in the indie game market, which was the last stronghold of Windows 7. Recently released indie games are even being released as Windows 10 64-bit exclusive games. Some say that the problem is not the Windows version, but the Windows 32-bit version itself will disappear into the back alleys of history. In addition, the gap in quality between PC games and mobile games is narrowing recently, so it seems that existing Windows 7 users have no choice but to adapt to the changing times.[110]

As of November 2020, many computers are still using Windows 7. This is because Windows 7 is the only solution to running Windows XP-based programs without causing headaches. In particular, most classic games only support Windows 7, and in extreme cases, many of them cannot even be run in full screen starting from Windows 8. Even for the majority of Windows-only programs that have lost support, there are cases where installation in a Windows 10 environment is impossible. Most problems can be solved , but without relevant knowledge, it is difficult to think about them in the first place, and there are cases where separate settings or patches are needed for each game, so it is easier to just use Windows 7. Looking at posts related to Windows 7 installation from the 2020s, the main source of demand in Korea seems to be computers running Sudden Attack (…)

In addition, as it is the last OS that can use the classic bitmap UI of Windows XP, users who remember the old XP days often use Windows 7 as a souvenir. If you install and use Windows 7 32-bit version, there is no big difference from Windows XP.

Ultimately, POSReady 7 , the last official extended support operating system, ended support on October 12, 2021, so there is currently no officially supported Windows 7.

Information has been posted that official support for Windows 7/8/8.1 for the Chrome browser will be discontinued as of February 7, 2023 . # According to this, only Chrome 109 and up supports Windows 7/8/8.1. Microsoft Edge, which uses the Chromium engine, will also be discontinued around the same time. Firefox is said to be moving to the Extended Support Release (ESR) channel at the end of version 115 for Windows 7/8/8.1 and will provide security updates until September 2024. # This is similar to the paid extended support period for Embedded POSReady 7. First of all, it is possible to use older versions of browsers, so the point at which they will become practically unusable will be when the next version of HTML is released or when TLS 1.2 support ends.[111]

It is said that Steam client support will also be discontinued as of January 1, 2024 . There were a lot of people in the community who said it had a kill switch installed like Adobe Flash, so it was confusing for a whole year, but when I got here, it was still working properly.

The ESU license («Windows Client Extended Security Updates add-on Volume» MAK key) is valid for one year (12 months), so you must purchase a new license once a year. Microsoft officially announced that it plans to provide ESU until 2023, but as a key corresponding to +4 to 6 years of ESU licenses was discovered in the KB5015861 update in July 2022, it may extend ESU for Windows 7 until 2026. There is a story that you don’t know. However, there has been no official announcement from MS regarding the extension of ESU as of 2024, and only the embedded series can receive additional updates until 2024.[114]

Free upgrades to Windows 10 were supported after the release of Windows 10, and free upgrades to Windows 10 were available for a while even after the end of Windows 7. For information regarding the Windows 10 free upgrade, see here . However, around September 20, 2023, free upgrades to Windows 10 were discontinued as Microsoft blocked the activation of Windows 10/11 with existing Windows 7 product keys.

If you have completed the free upgrade to Windows 10/11, logged in with a Microsoft account and secured a digital license, you should be very careful about formatting the installed Windows. If you log in with the same account on the same hardware, the digital license will be restored, but if the hardware is changed due to a motherboard failure or other reasons and the digital license is broken, Microsoft Korea will only ask you to purchase a new Windows 11 and will no longer provide phone authentication.

It was expected to be the last NT kernel Windows, but eventually Windows 8 , Windows 10 , and Windows 11 also came out as NT kernels. Some say that Windows 7 came out quickly because of Vista’s lack of awareness, but Windows XP’s life cycle was exceptionally long, and it just followed the life span of a normal Windows-type OS. Common sense Windows 95, 98, 2000/ME[130] , even looking at the interval between Windows XP, it can be seen that it is common to have a lifespan of about 2 to 3 years.

However, even if Vista’s problems were resolved, Windows 7’s competitor was still likely to be Windows XP until April 8, 2014.[131] The reason why users turned away from Windows Vista was that it brought about a lot of changes in usability, although it also had application compatibility. Windows Vista overturned the traditional usage method from 1995, which caused a backlash from users. This situation is reproduced exactly in Windows 8 .

From 3.1 to 95, the operating system had not yet resolved even the theme of stability, so anyone was willing to change the operating system, but this time the problem is different. Windows Vista, even for security, has been made so that items for system settings provided by previous operating systems are divided into stages in the name of convenience , and things that could be handled on one screen are made possible only after several steps. It’s welcome for beginners, but it’s far from the taste of advanced users. In addition, in Windows Vista, which has enhanced system protection, in some cases, settings that can be set in the existing Windows XP become impossible at all, which also became the target of opposition.

However, if you want to install from USB, you have to manually unpack the image. The USB must be formatted as FAT32, and if formatted as NTFS, UEFI booting will not work. Also, it is not possible to solve it simply because of the path problem, but you have to copy the efimicrosoftboot folder to efiboot and change the bootmgfw.efi file in Windows 7 64 bit to bootx64.efi and copy it under efiboot.
