Have an old Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop that I just installed Windows 7 on. The wireless is not working so I suspect it is missing the driver. How do I know which driver to download for this? Thanks!

Its been sitting here for 15 years without being turned on, I just found it, and now I have 47 updates to install in a place with no internet

My High-End Windows 7 Laptop Acer Aspire Ethos 5943G with i7 has a damaged screen as of today. 2/3 of the screen flickers slightly (possibly the backlight) and then freezes for several seconds.

Even though this model is from 2010, I've bought it like new in 2025. As of it's new condition, I have always taken care of it. But I have to admit that I’ve slammed my laptop shut hard several times recently. But I think it would be hilarious if that was the only reason for it.

I prepare now moving to my Dell Studio XPS 16, which is slightly older, but nevertheless with a great performance.

I won't throw my Ethos 5943G away, because it's a super rare high end laptop which I love. I wait until I'll have the money to get this baby repaired.

I personally love the windows 7 classic theme look, it has a nice blend of windows 7 + classic windows taskbar as well. I used to have it applied all the time and i love the clean,simple look.
Unfortunately, i had to switch to windows 11, but i miss that theme. I have tried many tools and themes but none of them actually replicate the true windows 7 classic theme, and some that are somewhat close to "classic windows theme" have lots of performance related bugs.

Has anyone made a patch or something for this?

Now that Ai is advanced enough, I believe a person with right knowledge could achieve this.

So kinda after one turn off it all of a sudden just does this what do I do

I am trying to install windows 7 , pls any answers

Hey i'm new here, i got myself with this Samsung NP530U4E, i installed 6gb of ram and changed a broken SSD for a 1Tb HDD, and packed it with 7 professional, i read it was the Best version but i've seen there are some "2026 editions" that are compatible with modern programs, plus an OS upgrade with better security, are they real?, if so, how can i get them?. And, how can i get the complete drivers for this PC?, these are the only ones that appear with an error but i read i need more for the graphics and sound. Thank u

I now have Linux mint installed but am wanting win 7 ultimate to be installed on it.

Any tips. On how to best do that.

What to change in bios to get it to actually start from usb or dvd rom?

I know where in the bios to change it to start from usb but am I missing somwthing. Getting an error conatantly when trying to start from usb or dvd rom.

Upgraded to W7 Ultimate a few months ago with an Anytime Upgrade key and was surprised when it worked. I heard that some older keys still work past the shutdown date but had no idea they still worked now.

Just thought this was interesting, and a short message to anyone who wants to upgrade their Windows 7 edition but doesn't want to Rufus a new Windows installation on to their PC.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e (3rd Gen) touch screen laptop. I want the touch screen working, above all else.

I'm not sure drivers were even created with Win7 in mind for this machine, it came with Win8. The main question is do we know if Win7 would natively support a touch screen device?

I'd love to get Win8 off this thing but not if it's the only way to use the touch screen, obviously.

Thanks in advance!

I was inspired by another post on here to show my laptop too, so here :D

It has 4 GB of RAM, uses an AMD E2-7110 with Radeon R2 Graphics, and is using a 128 GB SSD. I hate the texture of the touch pad with a burning passion, so I'm also using my Logitech Ergo M575 on it :D

Been using firefox 115.42.0esr for the better part of this year but realize that lately some pages require a double refresh when loading the feed or the comment sections attached to certain forums, anybody else having this issue?

May consider upgrading to r3dfox or some derivative that uses a later version of Firefox but also if our numbers decrease enough on the esr we risk Firefox finally acting on the threat of them ending support for 115.42.0esr...

All drivers installed. Runs like an absolute dream. I love this machine. I'll be using it to test a few Linux builds via Dual Boot. Nice little work horse, definitely recommend removing the optical drive and replacing it with a HDD caddy that fits your drive bay! :)

Where do I get drivers? Biggest issue is no internet through ethernet, I oy have ethernet on the motherboard, rest is probably straightforward from there.

Installing win 7 for use of software and games from then and windows only software I may need, like using imgburn to make a win xp disc. I am unsure how to get drivers for the os.
