I will be building a Ryzen 5000 series CPU or APU based system for someone.

I was wondering if there are any regedit/gpedit.msc tweaks to make 10 function fully like W7 on its UI (Full control panel access without "settings") and a GUI appearance changer that doesn't require an additional service.

It be nice to make it appear like W7 Full Aero or XP Royal Blue Theme (Energy Bliss).

I have a script that has disabled auto updates on a notebook that only had a 32gb ssd in it (fucking potato zenbook).

Ive heard that APUs don't work on 7 but I do have a XFX R7 250X.

Also there is probably a bit of mucking around to get all the USB3 ports working.

With the amount of trouble W10 has had with bugs I'd rather Run 7. I dislike how they forced changes where a basic component has been working since Windows NT 3.11/95 (Control Panel) to "settings (fucking lame) and a fugly GUI (boring)

I did find a thread where someone was kind enough to make latest AMD chipset drivers fully work on W7.

Since I have the R7 250X and the APUs are limited by PCIE bus speed, I may just get a CPU.

I will probably get a 2nd to Top Motherboard from AsRock (they seem to be on their A -Game with bios updates). I cannot wait for Ryzen 6000 due to existing rig being an Old Dell Optiplex with a 478 P4 with XP.(Dinosaur)

Of course it's just about completely different and re-arranged and so forth. The never to have had happened operating system cause 10 was the last to ever be released. Its all lies man.

austin86: Same here in Ohio, not common but it happens, early this week we had ice rain 😮 Oct 17, 2024 8:10:10 GMT -5 *

zila1: Sometimes we have snow on the ground by Halloween. Let's see what happens this year. I only stepped outside twice today. It's just so nice and cozy in the house. Oct 16, 2024 18:11:07 GMT -5

austin86: car was iced over this morning here in ohio too. we be in winter again Oct 16, 2024 8:15:33 GMT -5

zila1: It's a little after midnight now and the thermometer on my deck is reading 29°F. It's nippy out there. Oct 16, 2024 0:11:52 GMT -5

zila1: ShrimpBrime: My crawl space is heated too. My basement is heated real nice too. It's warm and cozy down there. I work out during the winter months down there. Oct 16, 2024 0:08:23 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Yep, should snap the trees into dropping the leaves now. Summer to winter in just a week. Gotta love Chicago land!

My crawl space is heated. Cause if not, cold toes all winter on the main level

zila1: I just got a freeze warning for tonight on my pc and my cell phone. I'm gonna go out and drain the outdoor faucets and put freeze covers on them. I like that little added protection. Neighbor down the street forgot last year and his pipes burst. Ugh. Oct 15, 2024 10:59:32 GMT -5

austin86: zila1 Hmm ours has a humidifier on it, maybe because its 90% one and not 98%. but now that I think of it I need to drain my heater heater, we never use hot water TBH so I'm sure its not to bad Oct 14, 2024 12:36:04 GMT -5

zila1: I have Peripheral neuropathy and can't take the cold weather very well so I try to prepare my house for it as best I can. Hence all of the stepped up maintenance at this time of year. Oct 14, 2024 12:22:17 GMT -5

zila1: I do this every year in hopes of coasting thru the winter with as little problems as possible. I also have a whole house back-up generator to maintain. 24KW Generac. I love that thing. Easily powers the whole house during an outage. Ice storms can suck. Oct 14, 2024 12:19:23 GMT -5
