With Microsoft introducing AI-driven Windows updates, some users are starting to miss older versions of Windows. While versions like Windows XP and 7 may not meet today’s standards, they still attract many users with their retro designs. A developer has developed a tool that brings Windows 7 to 11.
How to get the Windows 7 look on Windows 11?
One of the tools that recently made waves in Windows forums was Revert8Plus. This program, published on GitLab, brings the retro look of Windows 7 to new operating systems with just one command. This opens the door for users to use Windows 11 like the old days.
This app actually makes Windows 11/10 look like older systems. For example, it turns the Movies and TV app into Windows Media Center, an older version. So you get an old interface on the new system.
While intriguing for nostalgia seekers, security experts have pointed out some risks associated with Revert8Plus. Disabling Windows Defender protection and Secure Boot could put computers at risk. These steps will make the system more vulnerable to malware.
While the developer acknowledges these problems, he said they are necessary to set up the Windows 7 and 8 interface. But he also reported that the new version, which eliminates the need to disable security features, is under development.
The video tutorial at this link walks users through the steps to follow. With the help of the video, you can download the necessary files and revert to the old look with a few simple PowerShell commands.
