[SOlVED] Help choose best version of WINDOWS 7
January 23rd, 2020
Windows 7 Integral version 64bit Intel Pentium CPU B970 @ 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM and Intel HD graphics (ps: It doesnt show which model) I’m not satisfied with my current version of Windows ,since some equippements don’t work even when I install the driver. So help me choose which version of Windows is suited for my PC :
[� Windows 7 Home Basic x64 (64-bit) � Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (64-bit) � Windows 7 Professional x64 (64-bit) � Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (64-bit) � Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (64-bit)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I'm not satisfied with my current version of Windows ,since some equippements don't work even when I install the driver.
And you’re blaming the OS for your own mistakes?
You are clearly doing something wrong!
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
That one…..It’s got it all there…but you only use what you need..
Don’t do Enterprise, because it won’t work with Windows Loader (if you need to use it)
Make sure you use an untouched copy..

Pretty much anything “Professional” and above – those ones have group policy editor on them (the “home” versions don’t).
There’s nothing else on Professional that i need or use.. but your needs might differ. (I don’t use ntfs encryption or bit locker or .. ..) But I’d love to see GPEdit on “home” versions!
I too would recommend the Ultimate X64 SP1 – it’s freeeeeee, your rig can handle it (just) so go for the best version. There may be options you never knew about like Bitlocker that you may want to give a try.
You can activate it successfully two ways. Firstly with Daz’s Loader, and also with Cody’s Microsoft Toolkit (which also activates Office)

They are the only two ways that work and don’t give problems. After the install and activation open Internet Explorer and go and validate it at the link below.

You haven’t mentioned the full specs of your pc, but the processor, as it’s mediochre, may possibly be able to be upgraded, to say perhaps M2020 or M2030 (not many choices with Socket G2), you would have to tell us what your motherboard is, you may also be able to upgrade the RAM to increase its capabilities, if you want to spend a bit of cash.

Home premium is probably all you need. But since it’s all for free, you can go with ultimate too. I myself usually end up disabling most of the added features anyway.

I never heard of a “Windows Integral” version
Edit: Oh, I just found out it is Ultimate in French. So you already have ultimate.
Seems most of you have missed out on why the OP wanna reinstall his OS.
He specifically mentioned that it’s because certain hardware doesn’t work even after he installed the driver.
I seriously doubt this is an OS problem. It’s just something he’s doing wrong, And whatever it is, He’s gonna keep on doing it (Even after a reinstall!) Normally, A device should work fine once it’s driver is installed, Unless one of the following is the case:
1. The OP used the wrong driver (For an entirely different device)
2. The OP used the correct driver, But for the wrong OS (I.E Win7 32bit driver when he’s running the 64bit version)
3. The particular device is powered off, Not connected properly or defective!
I have no idea why you quoted my post when you haven’t even made any response to it!
We didn’t miss out a thing..The topic title states:

And his post states the following:

Which implies that’s the only reason he wanna reinstall his OS, Because he can’t get some particular hardware to work with it (Which again, Is more likely an error on his part than an actual OS problem)

Could quite possibly be old drivers, and/or a mis-match with 32 bit and 64 bit ?

LOL I was going to write something about the drivers probably not working on “Integral” version if it’s something strange, but then I wrote something totally different in the end.
