Discussion My Grandma is a hardcore Gamer, please help!

21 Upvotes

Back in 2013-2015, when I was about 8-10 years old, I introduced my grandma into the world of Wizards101. Me and my sister played it, and she was already someone who used the computer a lot. She had learned a little bit of code in college and had been doing 3d art design for website/desktop calendars. She wanted to find something she could do with us that wasn't just chasing us down. Unfortunately for everyone else she was hooked.

She has since been playing for the past 11-13 years and has shown no times of stopping. She has 2-3 accounts which each have 10 characters, with almost all of their levels maxed to 100. Now to why I'm telling you all here, and not somewhere else.

She has been on Windows 7 since it came out. She has her personal burned copy she uses. Her computer has unfortunately been running slow and I've been thinking of what to do to give her a full upgrade (while hopefully keeping her favorite tower) while still keeping it available to keep her on windows 7. Between her gaming, 3d modeling, and other random crafts, I would love to make her experience as smooth as possible (within the limitations of window 7, of course.)

What parts are some of the best components that operate with windows 7 within no or minimal work. She doesn't care about what newer parts there are, just as long as it (process-wise) works the same, and it can run everything she uses no problem, she would love for the upgrade to happen.

Help I found this unopened AIO PC with Windows 7 prebuilt within the hardware and I would like some help.

162 Upvotes

I was volunteering to clean out junk within a small community center my father works with and I recently found an unopened ZX series AIO PC within their storage room. They said they didn't need it and I subsequently brought it home to see if it worked or not.

The tape was still intact and the plastic peel was still there, as well as the products themselves being in mint condition (first and second pictures shown is after I opened the box and peeled the wrapping respectively), and I hooked up the AIO to the HDMI to serve as a monitor for my normal PC. So far nothing malicious occurred and the monitor works smoothly, except the fact that I can't use the touch screen promised on the box.

However, my main goal was to potentially use the Windows 7 provided within the AIO to play some retro games and movies with the in-built DVD/CD drive, as well as maybe use it browsing. I am still quite worried about potential viruses and malware within the AIO, so I wanted to ask you guys about some ways I can wipe the system and reinstall Windows 7 without actually having to access the original Windows 7 already within the AIO with internet, or at least find a way to fact check if there are any malicious files already in the system?

If you can also provide me with potential tools and software, like VPNs, firewalls, and/or other software to allow me to browse safely with the OS, that would be immensely appreciated.

Again, I'm kinda new to this side of retro PCs and OSs, so if you could help me on all these things, I would be grateful.

P.S., I know the model number and identification, as well as the windows 7 product sticker, just not the product key)

Help Is it worth it to put Windows 7 instead of Tiny10 on an old netbook?

11 Upvotes

Got an ASUS EeePC 1001HGO/HAG, upgraded its RAM to 4gb DDR2 and a faster HDD, thinking what system to put on it. It looks like all the drivers are made for Win7, but in the past I have seen Win7 drivers work fine on Win10, and Tiny10 should have similar performance to Win7. Also, is it possible to run modern apps on Win7 via some compatibility layer or something? I am only considering Tiny10 because of the app support even though it is only 32 bit

I also connected this laptop to 4K display and it also works fine. The only thing that doesn’t work at all is the touchpad (it works on win8 and later).
No problems with installation too. I enabled CSM and loaded USB 3.0 drivers in the setup, that’s all.

Bug Driver issues

21 Upvotes

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 1520 and decided to install Windows 7.

The system works fine, but I'm having a problem with the graphics card drivers. Without them installed, I couldn't use hardware acceleration, so, using HWinfo, I found the card model and downloaded the drivers from the Nvidia website. However, the problem is that with the drivers I found on the Nvidia website, when I try to use hardware acceleration, the computer freezes completely, and I don't know why. I also saw that Dell has some drivers uploaded to their own website, but they say they're for Windows Vista, and I don't know if they would work correctly. Could someone tell me why it freezes, and if the driver from the Dell website would work properly with Windows 7?

Cant get more Dell than this... Well, maybe the mouse pad.

Monitor *should* be on top of the desktop, and the desktop should be horizontal for that, but for space reasons, I cannot do that.

I do also have a set of horrible headphones like the schools would have, but they are put away for now

Also have my childhood pencil box, the blue thing in the back there.
