if u dont wanna just do a clean OS install as others probably may have suggested, try the windows refresh tool.

Do you know how forums work?

Except a lot of newer hardware doesn't have driver support for Windows 7 (and Microsoft blocks updates for Windows 7 and 8 {not 8.1} on Kaby Lake hardware).

Sure, if you trust the "patch" author to not have put any sort of back door in it.

speaking of backdoors...

source?

Bought tons of new hardware in the past year, never had any issues on W7. Obviously that's just anecdotal but this isn't really an issue?

some new prebuilts and especially laptops might feature proprietary stuff, like an extraneous LCD display that shows your k-d or temperatures, k00l k|_|stu/\/\ buttonz, or a hardwired RGB vibrating assplug whose drivers are only on the installation they gave you, and they don't provide them elsewhere because they don't want you reformatting all their bloatware away. Could be meaning those sorts of things since newer versions of this stuff usually ship with w10, but it's a moot point since if you wipe it and install w10 instead of w7 you encounter the same issue, which is a fresh installation.



true story, but a well pruned 7 > a well pruned 10, imho
