Just a couple of years ago, there were heated discussions on our forum about choosing an OS, and many debaters declared that they would be on Windows 7 until the end of time. As time passed, the share of Windows 7 in the OS market fell, which was helped by artificial limitations in drivers, and natural ones - the lack of support for new games with DirectX 12.
Disputes about choosing an OS gradually died down, as almost all the debaters migrated to Windows 10. But I, as a tech blogger, enthusiast and simply a lover of different OSes, did not leave Windows 7 without attention in 2020. In the blog “Windows 10 1607 LTSB vs Windows 7 in synthetics and games” I compared the performance of the OS in games, and in the blog “Opinion: Windows 7 remains the most reliable, fast and responsive OS in 2020” I reviewed the advantages of using Windows 7, which we have already begun to forget while sitting on Windows 10.

I must say that even now Windows 7 is my second, backup OS and is sometimes used for a couple of old games that do not run correctly on Windows 10. But let’s finish with the introduction and start with an overview of the market share of various OSes as of August 2020.
OS statistics
Unfortunately, the popular Netmarketshare resource is no longer available for OS market analysis, so we will use its analogue - gs.statcounter.com.
This is how things stand on the OS market in the world as of August 2020.
The share of Windows 7 over the year decreased from 30.92% to 19.44%. After some stabilization in the summer, the share decline continued again, but it was no longer as sharp. Looking at the graph, it seems that Windows 7's share has almost reached the bottom and will now be supported by older PCs that struggle to run Windows 10.
I recently did a test, showing in the blog “Experiment: installing Windows 10 May 2020 Update on a weak PC with a slow hard drive,” that even with a decent amount of RAM of 8 GB and a four-thread Core i3 processor, working in Windows 10 without an SSD is very painful. The hard drive is the main brake of such a system. These are the types of PCs that will make up the bulk of those running Windows 7.
What’s interesting is that if you look at the share of systems running Windows 7 in Russia, it is noticeably higher than the global one, amounting to 26.91%.
Now let's look at Windows 7's share of the gaming system market through Steam statistics.
Here things are much worse, the share of Windows 10 is overwhelming - 88.32%, and the share of Windows 7 has shrunk to 5.21%. But there are a couple of paradoxes with gaming PCs and DirectX 12 games.
The first is that, as it turned out, DirectX 12 works fine under Windows 7, provided it is supported by the developer. Microsoft decided to meet the developers halfway and began porting the Direct3D 12 runtime to Windows 7. One of the first games that runs on Windows 7 in DirectX 12 is World of Warcraft from Blizzard .
The second paradox is that having Windows 10 on your PC does not guarantee the launch of new games. You should not just have Windows 10, but a more or less current version of it. There are already quite a few such games, for example Forza Horizon 4 or the recently released Horizon Zero Dawn .
It will be really “fun” if such games require a specific version of Windows 10 in a couple of years, when it loses its relevance.

Updates
As I predicted in blogs a year or two ago, enthusiasts have not abandoned Windows 7 and continue to release sets of security updates for it. UpdatePack7R2 update sets .
As of today, UpdatePack7R2 has version 20.9.10 and you can install it offline separately or even integrate it into the Windows 7 iso image.
I wrote about how to integrate updates into the image in the blog “Windows 7 will live!”
Safety
But with security in Windows 7, everything is no longer so smooth. The built-in antivirus is quite primitive and I would recommend supplementing it with at least a free antivirus from Kaspersky.
And it will be very good if you supplement the protection of your system with a firewall that works according to white lists. That is, anything that is not allowed will not be able to establish an Internet connection on your PC. The most accessible programs for this are simplewall , Comodo Firewall and NetLimiter .
In combination with a good antivirus, they will provide excellent protection against viruses, Trojans, and even unpatched vulnerabilities in the OS.
Where to download the standard set of free games from Windows 7
You can download games for OS 10 in Russian right here (direct link at the end of the post).
This is a fairly large installer, you will have to download 174 MB. After installation, you will get exactly the same as in the seven.
The settings and interface are exactly the same. There are also no problems during the process.
Why did I describe this? Although I’m already quite old, from time to time I’m also not averse to playing with a scarf, tapeworm or spider, and my four-year-old son Purble Place and chess.
For adults, chess is too “weak”, but for little ones it’s just right - there are hints of moves.
When I switched to ten, my son was the first to express displeasure, but as it turned out, the gaming platform can be easily returned.
ATTENTION: for those who downloaded games from the first link below will not launch, delete them and try others, there is a second link just below (both versions used to work on all Windows 10, but after the next updates Windows got lost somewhere).
