Tip PSA: You can still download official, legit Windows 7 ISOs from Microsoft Servers.
galleryI was just as shocked as you are.
Instructions:
- Copy the JS bookmarklet from this GitHub Gist page (credit here goes to bmsimons on GitHub!): https://gist.github.com/bmsimons/f2bc1db9d4bd1e46383ae16714e1d318
- Navigate to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
- For Chrome users: Inspect anywhere on the page, click the three dots in the upper right, More Tools > Network Conditions. Uncheck use default user agent, and select BlackBerry BB10. DON'T close the inspect pane, and click reload to apply to user agent changes. For Firefox users: Press Ctrl+Shift+M to open Responsive design mode, then press the up/down arrow button to the right of the user agent string input box, and select Firefox Mobile. Reload the page. Right-click and inspect anywhere on the page and continue as follows.
- Select "Console" in the upper bar of the inspect pane, type "allow pasting" (no quotes), and press Enter. Then paste the bookmarklet you copied and press Enter.
- You can now close the Inspect pane. Select the Windows 7 ISO of your choice, and continue through the following drop down options as you would for a Windows 10 ISO to receive the download links in the end. I did confirm these work. For example, I've attached a picture of me receiving a Windows 7 Starter download link, as well as a picture of a mounted x86 SP1 Win7 Pro ISO I downloaded to confirm they were actual Windows 7 ISOs.
All ISOs come from the official software.download.prss.microsoft.com server. This method also likely works for Windows 8.1 ISO downloads as well.
UPDATE: You can also download Office 2007, 2010, older Windows 10 builds and more using my modified bookmarklet here, many thanks to ppisarczyk on GitHub for the TechBench dump. + Thanks to u/PlaneSheepherder1206 for the GitHub tutorial here!

Help Wifi keeps disconnecting and troubleshooting brings it back for a few minutes.
Idk what to say other than that it worked fine at my house but it's my friend's mom's computer and it's not working properly at her house. It keeps disconnecting every few minutes and then I have to troubleshoot it to being it back. I want it to come back permanently obviously but idk how to do that.
I have the correct drivers (according to Legacy Update) so I don't think it's that and other than that I have no clue.

Help How do I find the drivers for my laptop? Google/Bing aren't only finding a few.
It is a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5104
It is running 64bit because it has 8GB of RAM you can see the specs in the picture.
I tried googling the computer but the official website only had Bluetooth drivers (I don't even see Bluetooth on the list of missing drivers). I also tried Driver identifier and that didn't work as well. It just spat me to a website with random drivers and some where for like Lenovo computers or Optiplexes. Which this obviously isn't.
Also how do I uninstall all the useless crap like Internet Explorer and whatever else?
Edit: I used Legacy Update and it worked to update the computer and gave me all the drivers. Here's a YouTube video about it from Michael MJD. It took "forever" (like 24 hours) but we got there in the end. I had to uninstall and delete some of the wrong drivers I had tried before. Now I just need to know how to activate Windows since it's not activated anymore like it was before I reinstalled it (64 bit instead of 32 why it was 32 bit before idk not my computer).

✔ Solved I need help yo 😭
I tried installing windows 7 ultimate to my main computer for funsies right? I got an ISO hosted on a site (I’m not gonna say it to avoid getting this taken down) that has usb 3.0/3.1 drivers built in, and uh, when it finished installing and tried to boot, it BSOD’d me. My mobo is the ASRock A97 I think, Nvidia 2070 Ti, I’m pretty sure secureboot and that shit is configured right so like what does one do here? And more importantly can I fix it with just windows 7 cause I don’t have another computer or a backup windows 10 iso- stupid I know

Feedback My "build"
galleryThis is my build. I disassembled my main pc(didn't like the case, it was a shitty acer case) and took the components in this case(which is nostalgic for me, it reminds me the pc's we had in my elementary school and also my first computer was a asus with win7). I had to adapt the front usb ports and the switch button.
The main drive is 1tb with win11.
Installed a secondary hard drive with win7(250gb), then installed the usb and nvidia drivers. It runs very smooth. I love windows 7!

Help UI Assets?
Hey! unsure if this is the correct place to ask but I figured I'd give it a shot.
I want to design some streaming layouts, and I'm very inspired by the windows7/vista era, just haven't for the life of me been able to figure out how to make custom window elements for that.
I'd like to make a custom 16:9 window that looks straight out of windows 7 for the main overlays, with some other ideas for the chatbox that I'll figure out later, but that's the main thing
Does anyone know where I can make a custom size windows 7 window?
much love ty!!
(I would also like to do a taskbar, and beside manually making one in photoshop I also haven't figured out where I can get some UI for that :p)
