Windows 7, Legacy OS in Legacy Support hahaha

Bought a early Christmas and birthday present to myself the other day, a HP 655 Notebook for use in business. Nothing fancy at all just a simple good notebook. Only downside was that it came with Windows 8.
Went into BIOS and switched to Legacy Support in able to install Windows 7 on it.

Windows 7 is that old to be classified as a Legacy OS? Anyway I laughed hard because seriously. XP and Vista fine but 7 no way.

Windows 7 is the most stable most reliable desktop OS ever shipped from Redmond, they can take Windows 8 and stick it somewhere because I'm not interested in crap.

This really should have gone into the random or windows 8 thread.

Shh... This is Gabriel Belmont. He used to be considered one of the 9 (ish) divines.

I don't think so.

I'm actually flattered that you remember my old name and I guess I'm always gonna be Gabriel around here despite the name change.
But one of the 9 (ish) divines...hmm I wouldn't go that far. Maybe I once was but I'm not sure what people think of me today, maybe a joke or something.

I don't recall having a thread where I asked how to find "x". When did this happen? Do you refer to the math problem I bumped into?

Anyway I wasn't sure where to put this because it was about Windows 7 in the end and I really doesn't consider it to be a Legacy OS, it's defamation and blasphemy to call it that in my book.

You can't UEFI boot Win7 from USB without a little work otherwise you have to install by DVD or legacy boot it.

@Duke - I believe you needed to solve some math problem to get access to some website or forum. It was a different type test to weed out spambots using (basic) algebra rather than images.

I think I remember that now.

And I think I don't want to remember that now. It was embarrassing and I made a fool out of myself there. Don't mix alcohol and math and everything is gonna be just fine.
