Windows 7 drivers

[frosty canyon]

Why?

[midnight olive]

because? I don't have an internal disk

otherwise I wouldn't have asked this

[sleek sail]

why do you need windows 7

[midnight olive]

I don't

Why can't you just answer my question and stop asking questions?

[sleek sail]

then use windows 10 lol

[midnight olive]

stop

[sleek sail]

use a windows 10 bootable flashd drive to install windows 10 onto another flash drive

[sleek sail]

what do you want me to say

[midnight olive]

shut up

[sleek sail]

fine, you wont get any help

good bye

[midnight olive]

something other than windows 10 this windows 10 that

I simply just want an answer to a question

[frosty canyon]

Like any question, folks won't be able to help you if you can't provide additional context
Folks definitely won't be able to help you if you're combative

Like, why not just install it through a VM? It's a lot safer and you don't need a dedicated drive, internal or external

[sleek sail]

you said you dont need windows 7, so dont use it, its a huge security risk.

[midnight olive]

bro I want to do a midi legit run and windows 7 simply provides better preformence for that

and don't even tell me windows 10

because the type of "Midi" isn't just like songs

[sleek sail]

ok, what are your system specs?

[sleek sail]

where the hell did this come from?

[frosty canyon]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'midi legit run' ?

[midnight olive]

No

I actually cannot

[sleek sail]

what is your problem

[frosty canyon]

Why not?

[midnight olive]

unless you don't mind me sending a video

[frosty canyon]

You can share whatever you need to help solve your problem

[midnight olive]

low-ish fps, Windows 7 will provide better preformence

this stuff is what I want to do

[frosty canyon]

Where have you heard that 7 will run this better?

[midnight olive]

core i3 8130U (don't say anything about an unsupported cpu, i installed it on an i5 7400 which is also not natively supported)
8GB RAM
UHD 620 ( I know how to hack the driver files to get it running )

[frosty canyon]

So, it's still midi and it's still songs, it's just the raw midi data also forms visuals?

[midnight olive]

not just heard, I have done it myself on a core i5 7400 which provided better performance

[midnight olive]

its called black-midi

[sleek sail]

would this work in linux? im not sure

[frosty canyon]

MIDI files with visual stylizing, got it

[midnight olive]

no, the program I am using is widely used

but its a windows program

[sleek sail]

what program?

[midnight olive]

Pianofromabove (With a winMM patch)

[midnight olive]

and also fluidsynth plays notes with 0 velocity as 100 velocity

on linux

don't look up the apps though because your just going to give me some bullshit on why not to use the apps

[sleek sail]

homie, security risks are not bullshit

[midnight olive]

no I said the apps

not the os

idiot

[frosty canyon]

Important life lesson - If you want people to help you, don't be condescending or combative

[midnight olive]

thats literally why vpns exist

and antiviruses

[sleek sail]

you think that solves everything?

[midnight olive]

and antiviruses

and obviously not

but instead of pointing out the flaws in what I am doing actually help because I give zero craps about your worries

I know what I am doing

I know its a risk

[frosty canyon]

If you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't be seeking help in a #1027757333117415424 thread, no?

[midnight olive]

but also windows 7 has like 0 drivers for my network card so I wont even be networkin

[midnight olive]

don't get smart with me me

[sleek sail]

dawg

[midnight olive]

dawg, you fail to acknowledge I wont even be networking

[frosty canyon]

So, moving forward, when asking questions about deprecated OS's

• Be clear that you aren't connecting it to the internet
• Be clear you're aware of the risks
• Don't be an ass when people warn you about these things

[frosty canyon]

You did not bring that up until like 30 seconds ago, how were we supposed to know?

These are things you say up front

And people will be more than willing to assist you

[midnight olive]

because I clearly explained what I was doing earlier and did it sound like I was networking?

if I am doing midi stuff why do I need networking, I can copy files from my other windows install

[sleek sail]

heh, clearly? thats a stretch

you first said you wanted windows 7 on an external drive. we had no idea you were doing midi, much less staying off the internet

[sleek sail]

it took like 7 questions for you to tell us that.

[frosty canyon]

It is important to make the zero-networking abundantly clear, and be patient with people who are making sure you don't introduce security risk
You're the one here that's seeking help, for free

"Hey, I'm setting up a Windows 7 install for some software that runs better on it than newer OSs. It will not be connected to the internet. How can I setup drivers to boot Win 7 on a USB drive?"
It's really that simple. Being an ass, calling people an idiot, etc will NOT get you an answer

I'm sure both of us could've given you an answer on that

[sleek sail]

when youre asking for tech support here, provide as many details as you possibly can

[frosty canyon]

You're not the first person here asking how to install a dangerous OS & getting combative about it, and you won't be the last

[sleek sail]

saying "i need windows 7 on an external drive because i dont have an internal one" is NOT enough information

[midnight olive]

I've had enough of your lecture

but okay

[sleek sail]

the reason we gave that lecture, was because you were extremely condescending, and didnt mention your intent to have no network connection

reguardless, good luck with your endeavors
