You cant on windows 10 and 8.
You can on 8.0 (and imho it looks as good or better as some Windows 7 themes), but you mess up your install if you try on 10. I tried multiple methods, all of them resulted in a reinstall, and just gave up on theming.
ya...but you seem like the person who is preaching windows 7 like it's the second coming of jesus so it's not just that one persons use case that matters...for a short time I had both a windows 7 pc and a windows 10 pc in my household at the same time and tbh, aside from the update thing every one in a while it isn't that bad. it looks and works just fine in my opinion and honestly don't see where people are coming from with windows 10 supposedly being the devil essentially.
People don't like change and like to bitch and complain. The only real reasons to use Windows below Windows 10. You could argue for compatibility and visual but you can easily run anything via emulator/vm and you can customize every os quite easily to look like another.
I respectfully disagree.
At my workplace it's a policy to keep the operating system you're using up-to-date, including the software (where it makes sense to keep it up to date).
The problem with this policy is that every update something breaks. We can't afford reinstalls every month (I'm not overexaggerating!), but it's coming really close. I can't do my work properly because the clipboard doesn't work, and I tried EVERYTHING to try get clipboard working again, but I'm at a loss.
Oh, and since the new update not only is my clipboard broken, but I get BSODs if I have the PC running for more than a few days.
And no, I can't interrupt the run. There are just some things which need to run for days, weeks, or even up to 4 months. You could say that the program should be ready for power outages (which it is), but if it crashes every few days for a whole night then those 4 months could become more time.
People wouldn't have problems with Windows 10 if it... well, didn't have as many and as fatal problems as previous versions combined.
And don't get me started on the crapware and bullshit in non-Enterprice versions... You must get the Enterprice version if you want to have a chance of a long-running operation not getting interrupted by a forced reboot, because it's important to install updates which break your clipboard and cause BSODs. The earliest version I tried is 1607, and they STILL didn't fix the E button crash in the calculator after four whole years...
