My childhood HP Compaq PC runs again with Win7
This is my HP Compaq 6005 Pro SFF PC I got in fourth or fifth grade. My dad got this from a pile of junk PCs at his job and gave it to me. Around 2020-2021 I officially retired this machine for my current PC. It’s set up for a really long time just collecting dust and come to find out the hard drive was actually wiped so all of my bookmarks, apps, and every other piece of nostalgia is now a memory. However, I did get this thing out. Got some cables hooked it up to my main monitor(s) and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 professional on it. In the pictures, you’ll also see a few videos YouTube videos I watched on this thing almost every day as a child but using the Supermium browser instead of Chrome. Let me tell y’all this thing is painfully SLOWER and louder than I remember it. I’m not sure if I just had more patience as a kid, or I just didn’t care, or if it genuinely got slower, but this thing is nothing short of SLOW and louder under load! Let me know if there’s anything else I can do with this machine besides attempting to install office 2010. Miss you Windows 7 😓. IMO this is light years better than Windows 11.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom ii X2 B55 dual core CPU
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4200
RAM: 10GB DDR3. 1600mhz??
Storage: OEM 500GB WD Blue HDD (yes the old school spinny spin spin hard drive. Don’t have an SSD rn)
OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1

Windows 10 users will never have this
The official angry birds theme with custom angry birds sound pack (dirt on screen is due to this monitor being used for a decade going so far and I can’t get it off without risking damaging it)

Steam can't update Common Reddist, won't let me launch games unless it's updated and is now stuck in an update loop.
I try to launch a game, Steam wants to update Common Reddist. It tries, it uses 100% of the Ethernet but 0% of the disk, it dies at 13% and says "Corrupt Download". It has already downloaded the files into the Downloading folder tho. I try again, it fails again. It wont let me launch the game unless Common Reddist is done updating, which it cant. I try it all, I get a clean copy of the files with Depot Downloader, put them where Steam wants them, then update the appmanifest file so that StateFlags is set to 4, BytesToDownload and BytesDownloaded set to 0, StagedDepots all clear, TargetBuildID matching the current BuildID and LastUpdated set to today. It worked once, I got the game running, then next Steam restart and it starts trying to update Common Reddist all over again, repeating the miserable cycle. I can't think of anything else to try. And no, clearing download cache only worked once and setting the appmanifest file to read only makes Steam spit out a "Disk Write Error" while still trying to update Common Reddist and still wont allow the game to launch

Windows 7 su pc moderno?
Arrivo al dunque, voglio installare sulla mia MSI Z590 Gold Edition, Windows 7...ma aspettate...vorrei installarlo in modalità MBR e non UEFI.
Ho già una versione di Windows 7 con driver aggiornati e tutto quanto installato in GPT. Ma non riesco a installarlo in modalità MBR.
Nel BIOS ho già settato tutto quanto come deve essere:
Modalità CSM
Secur boot disattivato
Fast boot disattivato
E avviando la chiavetta USB in modalità MBR parte il Loading File, arriva alla prima animazione e si blocca, a volte si riavvia.
Sto usando una mia distribuzione personale con driver integrati, forse potrei provare con una ISO originale?
