I found this Dell Precision m6600 on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284281396902?hash=item42307ddea6:g:e~cAAOSw57hgizpA IDK where you can find a good GPU. NOTE: The seller put Windoze 10 on it (what a bad decision!) but you can always replace it. Sandy Bridge doe, also, it's more expensive than a 8...

Hello there, I am currently searching for a new Laptop, which i will use as my daily driver, however i really dont know where to start or what laptops from which brand i should consider buying. I can not build my own PC at the moment, which is why i am looking for a fairly powerful laptop that is W...

I may not be able to use aero transparency Why? Discord likes to lag the system like crazy even though all monitors are the same refresh rate, does not matter what PC i use or what driver I use. Happens to me all the time. I have to turn aero transparency off or use Basic to get around it, or use 8...

Vista appears to boot slower on my laptop, but I don't think I'll find any other differences unless I timed the two.

You could upgrade to the 8770W's "successor", the zBook. Vista will be a bit fucked because Haswell, but it should have everything needed.

You could also try going for a Skylake and Pascal laptop, but do your research and make sure it allows you to disable Optimius before buying.

Why?

Yes, I did sell the AMD card for insane profit. I feel guilty about making $600 from a card I bought for $370. My main problem is that I don't know what to do when I start wanting to upgrade my PC. I am basically using the last well-supported generation of Intel (Z390+ is a little harder to work wi...

So, if I did this right, I should have moved this topic to the Vista category. while also leaving a link to it in the browsers category. Thought the topic would be more relevant and have better reach here.

I have a couple of PCs. Heres a list: Main PC Custom: i7-9700K, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1050 Ti, Gigabyte Z370-HD3. 250GB NVMe, 2TB HDD, 500GB SSD. I'm not sure my triple monitor setup will work well with 7 though. Currently on WIn10 2004. Era 2017/2018. Laptop Dell Inspiron 5579: i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4, UHD 6...

Back in 2018, I got a 24" S-IPS 1920x1200 HP LP2475w with a March 2013 manufacture date sealed in the box. With it a lightly used VA 1600x1200 HP LP2065. With the monitor arm, I spent like $65 total. God bless that ebay seller lmao. You can pry 16:10 from my dead, cold fingers 8-) the seller n...

Even though I have used Windows 10 for about 40% of my life, I still hate how it does things compared to Vista, 7, 8.x. I first tried out 10 two days after its release (7/31/2015) on my old laptop which came with Windows 8.0. Back then I was too young to even care about problems, but from what I re...

I once bought a Dell monitor, after I plugged it in, I heard a loud bang, but the monitor still came on, then like a second later, it turned back off.

If you've ever used Discord on Vista with Firefox, one of the first things you'd notice is that the font is kinda scuffed. 4's and E's are missing a line and there are other odd looking characters, however, I've found a fix for this. How to apply the fix: If you're using Waterfox Classic or older us...

Could always just blast 60 quid on a banged out ex-business Dell OptiPlex 390 SFF and load Windows Vista/7 on it, they make great dual boot and emulation machines too.

Or just main 7 with a 10 VM.

Iris Heart is Windows 10
IF is the VM

Just saying

True.

I'm more of an XFCE fan myself too. I'm probably going to stick with 10 on my desktop since there are times I need to use software on Windows that won't work under wine.

Even I do that, so I don't really care.

also i wasn't able to figure out how to get the old Outlook UI on newer browsers like Firefox. Anyone got any ideas? Searching through old Microsoft support threads and KBA's didn't bring up anything. Well, IE9 was near the end of Trident specific code, so the page could just be formatted only for ...

I assume you removed the key before reuploading it.

I tried the Centaury Browser on Server 2008 R2 Datacenter machine last week. Youtube icon were broken as you see here or it's just my Ublock extension that caused it. Gonna update this post later if possible. https://i.postimg.cc/zGwbRy1s/bug.png What benefit does Centaury give over Waterfox Classi...

So, I'm tired of bots scraping the forum and using the contact forum to send me porn ads, so I've disabled the contact page.

If you want to contact the admins, you can contact me, win32, Audi9801, docR, MassClaw, or any other Admins/Moderators that get added in the future.

Obscure fact. You were able to log on to your Microsoft account on Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7 untill about late 2020. Upon logging in you would be presented with this inbox outlook on IE9!.png I tried this on IE9 and it works!! Outlook looks best on IE8/9 and functionality is also not comprom...

Can you like please not use the off topic boxes? They're blindingly white on the lucid blue theme.

out of curiosity what's the point of having a 2016-09 ISO? It's around/before some common points people update to, 2017-08 and 2017-12 are some I've seen, so if anyone wanted those, they don't need to make another ISO. I used to use the 2016-09 ISO. If I remember correctly, it was just going to be ...

You gotta use KernelXE for the RAM, but multi-core CPUs should function properly.

Does CSM/Legacy mode work for GPT drives? The idea was to put the SSD into GPT to maximize its capabilities via UEFI for NVMe. It current has the exact same OS I'd installed via your ISO, then transitioned over to GPT format. Couldn't install directly to the SSD, because the install wouldn't detect...

Kind thanks R3n for a phenomenal ISO and guide. Just used it on a completely new machine after weeks of trying with others unsuccessfully; this one worked brilliantly. Having installed it to my hard drive in CSM mode, I've now found transferring the working system to my SSD to be unsuccessful becau...

Hello all, I have a Samsung SyncMaster 740N 17 inch monitor with a resolution of 1280 by 1024, which I am doubtful of whether to keep or sell to buy another monitor. It has no dead pixels, no bad resolution, nothing. I need a monitor to use for my desktop computer, which I will build soon (but idk ...

This is just a topic where you can post a screenshot of your Windows, macOS, Linux, or other desktop.

If you want to, you can even take a picture of your setup as well.
