Making Windows Vista look like Windows 7 is easy enough. To do this, you need to know the main differences in the design of the two versions of Microsoft operating systems, as well as download and install special software. Of course, you won't be able to drastically change the way Windows Vista works for the better, but the external and stylistic differences between the two versions of Windows can be reduced to zero.
Necessary
- - Computer with Internet access;
- - software.
Instructions
Step 1
On the Microsoft website, download a collection of free wallpapers for Windows 7. Vista folders also contain a selection of pictures, but the quality of the wallpapers for the "seven" is much higher and the content is more varied. It should be noted that Windows 7 has a so-called "region binding". Therefore, the user can easily find a photo to his liking.
Step 2
Set large shortcuts on the taskbar. To do this, download the Windows 7 Style program at https://giannisgx89.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Style-For-Vista-102269037. For speedy data transfer, the software will be packed in a zip or rar archive, so you need to make sure that a program for reading and unpacking archives is already installed on your computer. For example, such as Winrar (https://www.win-rar.ru/) or 7Zip (https://www.7-zip.org/).
Step 3
After finishing working with Windows 7 Style, download another so-called customizer. A program is needed that can change the appearance of a computer table from a file. TuneUp Utilities, which can be found at https://www.tune-up.com/, is perfect for this. After correct operations with programs and files, the taskbar will become indistinguishable from Windows 7.
Step 4
Download and install EnhanceMyVista from https://www.izone.ru/sys/tuning/enhancemyvista-free.htm. Using this program, you can change the Windows Vista taskbar icons to Windows 7. EnhanceMyVista is also a customizer, that is, a special application for activating the hidden settings of the operating system.
Step 5
Start using Aero applications to their full potential. To make your old Vista run a little bit, install the AeroShake program (https://aero-shake.en.softonic.com/), which provides an intuitive way to minimize windows at the bottom of the display. Try not to forget to add it to the list of automatically loaded programs in order to speed up the process of installing the profiles saved by the program after restarting the computer.
