I'm running windows 7 64-bit on only 512 mb memory, and it runs pretty well. So I think we chould have a minimum required and minimum recommended section, anyone agree? Wikimann1234 10/14/11 11:30 AM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimann1234 ( talk • contribs)
It could be noted that Windows 7 will run on lesser hardware without specifying our own thoughts on the actual "minimum". Perhaps a reference to one of those terribly written blog posts about ancient hardware is in order. Calling it a requirement and allowing Microsoft to get away with "If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:" is a disservice to someone. Somewhere. ζompuλacker ( tlk) 22:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
The article states that 'Development of 7 occurred as early as 2006 under the codename "Blackcomb".'
I have never read anything that suggests the development of 7 started in 2006, or that any of that development was under the codename of Blackcomb. Indeed, Vienna was the codename, from what I remember.
The statement in the article also does not have a reference to it.
Can anyone provide a source for that statement? Otherwise, I think we should remove it.

It appears three editors are engaged in edit warring, and as usual over a trifle, as usually, over a sentence that needs to be re-written completely.
The subject of the dispute is whether "the Windows NT family" is correct or "Windows NT family". Both are correct, and per MOS:STABILITY, no one must change it to another form:
As in all edit wars, the edit warring sides strongly feel that their position is self-evidently right. It is not new; it happens every single time, so much so that the involved parties do not see that "operating system" is entirely redundant here. Wikipedia editors are expect to subdue these feelings and instead discuss.
And User:Codename Lisa: There is a D after BRD. I expected you to post a message either here or in User:Guy Macon's talk page immediately after reverting. Why am I not seeing such a thing? User:Yngvadottir and User:Guy Macon, why neither of you started a discussion with Codename Lisa, each other or in this talk page? Oh, and please none of you start by saying how wrong the other acted; this is just another thing that edit warriors always do.

MS have effectively abandoned Win7 since the release of SP1. Over 350 updates have been released since SP1 but MS stated there will be no SP2. Hackers 100% cracked WIn7 in less than 18 months, which was even faster than they 'SLP' cracked WinXP. Win8 with secure boot and signatures was designed to stop the rootkit-style bypassing used by the hackers to activate Win7. Hackers 100% cracked Win8 Pro with VLK tricks within 6 months of its release. MS are now bleating on about the replacement for Win8, supposedly Win10, as Win9 confuses with Win9x. 203.219.71.96 ( talk) 23:34, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Please change this sentence: "Dragging windows to the left or right edges of the screen allows users to snap software windows to either side of the screen, such that the windows vertically take up half the screen."
It should read: "Dragging windows to the left or right edges of the screen allows users to snap software windows to either side of the screen, such that the windows take up half the width of the screen."
The reason should be self-explanatory... the windows actually take up half of screen horizontally, not vertically. Eliminating both words simplifies the sentence. Thanks!

Previously, there was a note in the support section of the infobox that said support for Windows 7 on Skylake and newer CPUs is restricted. Later this sentence was removed when Microsoft removed the restriction for Skylake CPUs. This was mistake. Let's look at what the article currently says:
Microsoft retracted the decision and stated that it would continue to support Windows 7 and 8.1 on Skylake hardware through the end of their extended support lifecycle. However, the restrictions on newer CPU microarchitectures remain in force.
This means even though Skylake is now fully supported, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and newer are not. This needs to be in the infobox. 5.75.91.247 ( talk) 10:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Moreover, our page implies that the support period has ended for consumer versions, yet a 2012 PC World article says it has not: Windows 7's consumer editions were due to drop off the support list on Jan. 13, 2015, a deadline that has now been moved to Jan. 14, 2020. — Cpiral§ Cpiral 20:02, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Under "Installing Service Pack 1 is required for users to receive updates and support after April 9, 2013; 5 years ago.", I would like to add that Microsoft has made a statement that businesses who buy the ESU for Windows 7 will receive updates through January 2023. I would like to also add a paragraph in the wiki about this too. Sourced from Microsoft Blog. Maybe say something like, "Businesses who use Windows 7 ESU will have support until January, 2023."

The following text is disputed
Some Windows Vista Ultimate users have expressed concerns over Windows 7 pricing and upgrade options. [1] [2] Windows Vista Ultimate users wanting to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 must either pay $219.99 [3] to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate or perform a clean install, which requires them to reinstall all of their programs. [4]
Editor Sek-2 ( talk · contribs) states that this must be included, as it has been covered by secondary sources.
I personally think this is irrelevant, because this is merely a complaint from users who did not realize the implications of Microsoft's upgrade policy only allowing upgrades within the same OS family. Hence, I feel that this is insignificant, the tone of this statement feels like it's an attack, and the entire second half is sourced to Microsoft itself. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Please change the lead to the following text:
Windows 7 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and became generally available on October 22, 2009. [6] It is the successor to Windows Vista, released nearly three years earlier, and itself was replaced in November 2012 by Windows 8. Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time.
Windows 7 was intended to be an incremental upgrade to Windows Vista, addressing its poor critical reception while maintaining hardware and software compatibility. Windows 7 continued improvements on the user interface introduced in Windows Vista with the addition of a redesigned taskbar that allows applications to be "pinned" to it, and new window management features. Other new features included libraries, the new file-sharing system HomeGroup, and support for multitouch input. A new "Action Center" interface was also added to provide an overview of system security and maintenance information, and tweaks were made to the User Account Control system to make it less intrusive. Windows 7 also shipped with updated versions of several stock applications, including Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player, WordPad and Windows Media Center.
Unlike Vista, Windows 7 received critical acclaim, with critics considering the operating system to be a major improvement over its predecessor because of its improved performance, its more intuitive interface (with particular praise devoted to the new taskbar), fewer User Account Control popups, and other improvements made across the platform. Windows 7 was a major success for Microsoft; even before its official release, pre-order sales for the operating system on the online retailer Amazon.com had surpassed previous records. In just six months, over 100 million copies had been sold worldwide, increasing to over 630 million licenses by July 2012.
The initial release of Windows 7 received security updates, software updates and technical support until April 9, 2013, after which installation of Service Pack 1 is required for users to receive support and updates. On January 12, 2016, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer versions older than Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7. [7] [8] [9]
Extended support for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 ended on January 14, 2020, over ten years after the release of Windows 7, after which the operating system ceased receiving further support or security updates to most users, with an optional Extended Security Updates program offered to enterprises to receive up to three years of security updates until January 10, 2023. [10] [11]
The most recent version of Windows based on this operating system is Windows Embedded POSReady 7, released on July 1, 2011. This version continued to receive security updates until October 2021, and is also eligible for the Extended Security Updates program until October 8, 2024. [11]
As of October 2021 [update], 13.57% of traditional PCs running Windows are running Windows 7 (and thus 4,4% of all devices across platforms). [12] It still remains popular in countries such as Turkmenistan, China, India, and Venezuela. [13] [14] [15] [16] By January 2018, Windows 10 surpassed Windows 7 as the most popular version of Windows worldwide; [17] and by May 2020, Windows 10 surpassed Windows 7 as the most popular version of Windows in China. [18]
Please update the references for the market share to more recent ones. Thank you! 93.42.67.220 ( talk) 11:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Please just give the paragraphs where you suggest changes (and omit the rest). The proposed paragraph order could then be dealt with at a later time, although I note that leads should usually only have 4 or so paragraphs, so maybe a few ot these need to be combined.

Please change this sentence: "Dragging windows to the left or right edges of the screen allows users to snap software windows to either side of the screen, such that the windows vertically take up half the screen."
It should read: "Dragging windows to the left or right edges of the screen allows users to snap software windows to either side of the screen, such that the windows take up half the width of the screen."
The reason should be self-explanatory... the windows actually take up half of screen horizontally, not vertically. Eliminating both words simplifies the sentence. Thanks!

Previously, there was a note in the support section of the infobox that said support for Windows 7 on Skylake and newer CPUs is restricted. Later this sentence was removed when Microsoft removed the restriction for Skylake CPUs. This was mistake. Let's look at what the article currently says:
Microsoft retracted the decision and stated that it would continue to support Windows 7 and 8.1 on Skylake hardware through the end of their extended support lifecycle. However, the restrictions on newer CPU microarchitectures remain in force.
This means even though Skylake is now fully supported, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and newer are not. This needs to be in the infobox. 5.75.91.247 ( talk) 10:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Concerning consumer support ending, neither of the "ending Jan 13, 2015" citations point to anything that works.
Moreover, our page implies that the support period has ended for consumer versions, yet a 2012 PC World article says it has not: Windows 7's consumer editions were due to drop off the support list on Jan. 13, 2015, a deadline that has now been moved to Jan. 14, 2020. — Cpiral§ Cpiral 20:02, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

"Windows 7 was the most popular Windows variant up to January 2018, when Windows 10 edged it out globally, with a market share of 44.81% for "desktop operating systems.""
But the cited link clearly shows that Win 7 still has the larger share.

Under "Installing Service Pack 1 is required for users to receive updates and support after April 9, 2013; 5 years ago.", I would like to add that Microsoft has made a statement that businesses who buy the ESU for Windows 7 will receive updates through January 2023. I would like to also add a paragraph in the wiki about this too. Sourced from Microsoft Blog. Maybe say something like, "Businesses who use Windows 7 ESU will have support until January, 2023."

The following text is disputed
Some Windows Vista Ultimate users have expressed concerns over Windows 7 pricing and upgrade options. [1] [2] Windows Vista Ultimate users wanting to upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 must either pay $219.99 [3] to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate or perform a clean install, which requires them to reinstall all of their programs. [4]
Editor Sek-2 ( talk · contribs) states that this must be included, as it has been covered by secondary sources.
I personally think this is irrelevant, because this is merely a complaint from users who did not realize the implications of Microsoft's upgrade policy only allowing upgrades within the same OS family. Hence, I feel that this is insignificant, the tone of this statement feels like it's an attack, and the entire second half is sourced to Microsoft itself. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:58, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Please change the lead to the following text:
Windows 7 is a major release of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft. It was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and became generally available on October 22, 2009. [6] It is the successor to Windows Vista, released nearly three years earlier, and itself was replaced in November 2012 by Windows 8. Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the same time.
Windows 7 was intended to be an incremental upgrade to Windows Vista, addressing its poor critical reception while maintaining hardware and software compatibility. Windows 7 continued improvements on the user interface introduced in Windows Vista with the addition of a redesigned taskbar that allows applications to be "pinned" to it, and new window management features. Other new features included libraries, the new file-sharing system HomeGroup, and support for multitouch input. A new "Action Center" interface was also added to provide an overview of system security and maintenance information, and tweaks were made to the User Account Control system to make it less intrusive. Windows 7 also shipped with updated versions of several stock applications, including Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player, WordPad and Windows Media Center.
Unlike Vista, Windows 7 received critical acclaim, with critics considering the operating system to be a major improvement over its predecessor because of its improved performance, its more intuitive interface (with particular praise devoted to the new taskbar), fewer User Account Control popups, and other improvements made across the platform. Windows 7 was a major success for Microsoft; even before its official release, pre-order sales for the operating system on the online retailer Amazon.com had surpassed previous records. In just six months, over 100 million copies had been sold worldwide, increasing to over 630 million licenses by July 2012.
The initial release of Windows 7 received security updates, software updates and technical support until April 9, 2013, after which installation of Service Pack 1 is required for users to receive support and updates. On January 12, 2016, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer versions older than Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7. [7] [8] [9]
Extended support for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 ended on January 14, 2020, over ten years after the release of Windows 7, after which the operating system ceased receiving further support or security updates to most users, with an optional Extended Security Updates program offered to enterprises to receive up to three years of security updates until January 10, 2023. [10] [11]
The most recent version of Windows based on this operating system is Windows Embedded POSReady 7, released on July 1, 2011. This version continued to receive security updates until October 2021, and is also eligible for the Extended Security Updates program until October 8, 2024. [11]
As of October 2021 [update], 13.57% of traditional PCs running Windows are running Windows 7 (and thus 4,4% of all devices across platforms). [12] It still remains popular in countries such as Turkmenistan, China, India, and Venezuela. [13] [14] [15] [16] By January 2018, Windows 10 surpassed Windows 7 as the most popular version of Windows worldwide; [17] and by May 2020, Windows 10 surpassed Windows 7 as the most popular version of Windows in China. [18]
Please update the references for the market share to more recent ones. Thank you! 93.42.67.220 ( talk) 11:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

template. Rewritting a lead like this is certainly a major change which would require discussion. Additionally, the changes are still too large to be easily parsed. Please just give the paragraphs where you suggest changes (and omit the rest). The proposed paragraph order could then be dealt with at a later time, although I note that leads should usually only have 4 or so paragraphs, so maybe a few ot these need to be combined.

Under Support Lifecycle please remove the "Windows Update is now blocked from running under Windows 7" note. This is entirely incorrect. Windows 7 is not blocked at all.
