Maybe you could do a followup once you get a good graphics card?

I'm watching this video on Windows XP that my parents bought back in 2003
-
This unfortunately happens way too many times... Only when a YouTuber has stopped uploading do their videos get a wider reach... I hope this YouTuber is still there, reading these comments, and ends up feeling like they want to post again c:

For a retro Windows 7 gaming pc, I would NOT install all of the Windows 7 Updates as they make the response of the pc extremely slow for some reason. I am thinking we need to make special videos of retro XP and retro 7 gaming pc which updates to install, which to ignore, and which to block.

Still using Windows 7 in 2023 as my daily driver!
-
I was either in the 4th grade when Windows 7 came out and when I got my very first personal laptop from my parents that Christmas, it had Windows 7. Coming from our family pc that had Windows XP, 7 felt so magical! The fact that it can be considered retro now feels so weird lmao

Windows 7 will ALWAYS be the BEST operating system that microsoft ever released!
-
really underrated channel if u ask me, thumbs up
-
I love the recent trend of era accurate setups! Because as great as it is to upgrade older games to be on modern hardware, there’s always something special using the authentic tech the was made at that time. It adds to the experience!
-
This was an excellent video and I feel the same about Windows 7 also. It is my favorite OS!
-
thanks for this video! i got my first desktop and chose for it to be a windows 7 pc :) really helps me get a footing on where to start this project! thank youuuu~

Watching this from my AMD & Nvidia Windows 7 machine with a X-Fi Titanium. However, I have a Ryzen 7 2700X (Looking to hop up to the 5800X), and GTX 970. Also, that BIOS and driver installer looks significantly better than the BIOSes and driver installers on most modern boards imo
-
My machine is Vista-7 era (2008) but I think they just wanted to make it cheap but it runs really well in Windows 7 and 8.1 (and 8!)

NOW this is quality content!

Great video and great build! I love this sort of build, I've done a couple of windows 7 builds, they are cool! The 730 is surprisingly bad, but I'm glad you figured out the issue in quake 4, it was scary how slow it was haha. Great video, thanks for putting it out.

I had that mouse back in 2013/2014, I loved it

This guy made really interesting videos i hope he comes back soon

My dad started a YouTube channel with my mom. He created a intro video and was very excited to show me. For context my dad was a wedding/school/company videographer. But that was years ago so he has had some video experience. Anyways he shows me his intro video and I said I like it it looks retro. Because it looks like his videos from 15 years ago. Anyways this upset him so much he bought the entire adobe sweet, something he swore on his grave he'd never buy but he had pirated older versions. He's created a much more modern one now. Just thought I'd share this story when I read retro.

Definitely I have a plan to build a Windows 7 PC ☺ depending on the parts availability
-
This video is good BUT what if you could get any parts you wanted, what would you get so that windows 7 can run without problems???
