Windows 7 Fan-Made Survival Guide
This is a list of applications, games, frameworks, updates, patches, etc. compatible with the Windows 7 operating system.
Software listed on this page can either be compatible with vanilla Windows 7 or it might require adding missing DLLs or other patches, to either the mentioned software or the entire OS.
There's no way I can possibly list all software ever made - but you can help!
If you find something is missing - be it your favorite game, a web browser, or a magic solution to run all modern apps - I'll be very happy to accept your contribution to this list.
Simply press Edit file, change what you need and press Commit changes. Then, create a pull request (PR) back to this repository.
Basically, everything that you're using daily. There are no strict rules - even software incompatible with Windows 7 can be added - who knows, maybe it will be patched one day.
That being said, this list is mostly for maintained, still developed software. So try not to add programs that haven't been updated for the past 15 years.
I'm also interested in any Windows patches or modifications! If you ported some software from a different version of Windows, feel free to add it to the list too.
