Super legit video!! Thank you very much. I needed W7 for some old software and even though I have a real key from original purchase (yeah, I'm old), I couldn't get any updates to work and it didn't even have drivers for wifi or ethernet out of the box for this old Lenovo T450s. Your guide worked perfectly. Thankfully you put those stock ISO updates in google drive because they wouldn't work just trying to download from MS.

Second is anti-cheat support (Faceit👀). So basically people in my situation has no easy way to go. It's either hack win 11 or backport patches for 10 or something like that.

Because constantly updating Windows 7 to try to backport and cram new features and technologies into something old is harder than just building a new OS from the ground up that supports all the new stuff. And once you've started on a new OS, that's what you want to push people toward, because having to support multiple legacy systems forever is a cost and manpower nightmare.
