meaning, I can't fix the last bug I had to deal with when I was testing in windows. worked great in linux and I compiled the project, but in windows, not so much

I got it working in windows then found region issues, so now I have it tested in Linux, it's a little slower on massive libraries, but now back to windows once this linux binary builds, I'll get the windows one tested up and hopefully Today

doing a fresh build now, more details in the release thread.

It's all done, I open sourced it as I am needing a break from it, took three times longer to make and test that I estimated.

Uploads complete, enjoy

I just played with the Windows 7 Classic ISO, it does look very nice, but it's hacked, meaning the setup says it crashed and needs to start again, when you shutdown explorer crashes. it's not a stable design. It will not allow Windows update, so it's a security risk if you were to use it online, it is not really a usable project, but I do miss the Aero Glass so much, it looks so much better than the flat mess that is Windows 8 10 and 11. I forgot how obnoxious it is using a PC with sound Effects enabled, LastOS has had them disabled since XP days, I like to work in silence. anyway, I don't recommend using it for more than a quick nostalgia hit.

Yes, I played around with it too and experienced similar issues. But it is a preview release after all. Should be awesome when it's polished a bit. I like that it is actually Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. LOL

I also played around with "UpDownTool". It allows you to move directly from Windows 7, 8.1, 10, 11 -- yes, even Windows 11 -- to Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021 without losing your programs, files, settings or drivers. In addition, the tool repairs it by removing the bloatware and enabling you to receive official support until 2032.

From there I ran the transformation pack "Revert8Plus", a Windows 7 and Vista transformation pack for Windows 10 and 11.

Revert8Plus is a fully automated and customisable transformation pack for users of Windows 10 or 11. It enables you to transform the look of your PC into Windows 7: aero glass, Start Menu, taskbar, File Explorer, standard controls, tray menus, alt-tab, basic and classic theme, Control panel, UWP titlebars, login screen, context menus, file copy dialog, message boxes, aero peek, UAC, and Windows Media Center.

It works with all versions of Windows 10 and 11, up to 24H2. As most features do not require system file modifications, Windows updates can still be installed without issue. If you install it and for any reason change your mind, the transformation pack can be quickly and simply uninstalled from control panel.

Unfortunately, the Dec 2025 Windows Update has broken the current Revert8Plus on Windows 10 (21H2 and 22H2) and Windows 11 (23H2 and 24H2). Of course it did LOL. Anyway, Revert8Plus v5 will correct these issues; but it has not yet been released.
