This 1903 mod will be eradicated and won't be released, and it will not recive anymore updates. I will explain about why this happend.So appearntly, i was thinking about releasing this mod, one thing has came to an problem. The Windhawk mod which is Aerexplorer wasn't working for me when i was in a 1903 install, because i belive its only going to be used for Vibranium Windows (which might sound not true, correct me if i am wrong). And this version of Windows 10 is an old one, just a bit outdated but it's still usable, but now i already switched from this version to a updated one. Some modern softwares won't work by depending on which version of Windows is being used. The theme has been changed to Aero10. The old glass software has been replaced to now use DWMBlurGlass (i'm on 21H2). And there is alot of things that i want to explain about, but i won't have time left.
If your seeing this, i'm really sorry about this. There is pretty much nothing to do.
As for right now, this project won't continue its process.
So i've been wanting to do this. So now there you go!Windows 10 1903 Completly Transformed into Windows 7 Version 1.0.0 = The Prototype. (Old Setup) Version 2.5.0 = The Return. (The Medium Transformed Setup) I currently used Windows 10 Version 1903 and Transformed it into Windows 7 Here's what i actually added to the Setup:
- Added Some Legacy Windows 7 Apps- Added the Windows 7 Games and Games Explorer- Added the Taskbar and the StartMenu from Windows 7- Added the Old Action Center Icon Tray to the Taskbar- Added Some Old Legacy Flyouts : Volume, Battery, Network, Clock and the Tray Overflow- Added Windows 7's Full Collection of Themes (including all 20 Regional Themes! And including some Extra Themes like : Box Art, Dark Windows 7 and an Windows Vista Theme.)- Added Some Windows 7 Icons - Added Some System32 Apps from Windows 7 (Some apps does work but one of the apps has lost fuctionality to run in Windows 10.)
- Added Windows 8's Beta Help Pane (Which have the Windows 7 Buttons) - Added Windows Journal - Added Windows Defender (Windows 7 Version) - Added Windows 7's Display Switch- Added Windows 7's Alt Tab's Apperance- Added The Windows 7 Styled Ribbon- Added Service Pack Info to System Properties- Added Windows 7's Sample Media - Added Old UAC Dialouge
- Added Windows Easy Transfer - Added Getting Started from Windows 7 (and more!) Now heres what i modified the files in my Setup: - Modified Winver to report the NT Version as 6.1 - Patched File Explorer with OldNewExplorer and Aerexplorer - Edited Some Icons to Windows 7 Icons
- Made the Start Menu in Order like in Windows 7 - Restored some Legacy Applets to Control Panel - Replaced explorer.exe.mui to achive the look of the Taskbar Context Menu from Windows 7 - Edited mmres.dll PNG'S to match the Windows 7 styled Sound Properties. (and other modifications.)
(Special Thanks to the WinClassic Community!)

how did you got the getting started applet and windows easy transfer Oh you mean these? ![](//storage.proboards.com/6513581/thumbnailer/FEVuikXMyctoGFaHikBJ.png) Well i only got them from a Virtual Machine and from an Dualboot OS. Here's how i got these : 1. For Getting Started i copied the modified "GettingStarted.exe" from an Dualboot OS, which had an Windows 7 transformed look on it, and i put it in my current system. 2. For Windows Easy Transfer, Well its of course the only one folder from Windows 7 called migwiz. I only copied it from a Virtual Machine. Sources of the Setup (If anyone wants it then go ahead.)
Oh and by the way, if you want to have the Getting Started Applet that i got, Then. i'll leave this one as an attachment. (This modified Getting Started program might make the screen go black, but don't worry it will be back in some minutes. If you see an .NET error just press continue, and i suggest that you don't open it first.) GettingStarted.exe (1.73 MB)

(Soon i'll create this as an Custom ISO. This might take a while.) Edit: Well i don't think i tried but i failed to do so.
Another Setup Update has finally arrived! This time i only added 6 things to the setup. And now this is i want to announce : The setup version has reached to Version 3.0.0!Version 3.0.0 = The Close Look to The Original. (The Finale with an Mini Update.) - Added Windows 7's Notepad (including the other notepad for the Windows Folder too.) (You can check it in one of the screenshots.) - Added CMD Console Logon (chaging this to avoid cofunsion.)
![](//storage.proboards.com/6513581/thumbnailer/0LLrtfrASufMBXoOKysw.png) Well now its only going to be the Cmd Logon Screen. Because this one logon screen is appearntly a fake one. You can just realize it. Now here what i edited the files to make things resemble more like in Windows 7: - Windows 7's Sound Context Menu. (SndVolSSO.dll.mui) - Edited SndVolSSO's Microphone icon to Windows Aero.
![](//storage.proboards.com/6513581/thumbnailer/NbZnXNlyIdBHoEiMaAfw.png)
Now for the last part here what i did to update the 2 Extra Themes (Windows 7 Dark and Windows Vista.) : - Updated Windows 7 Dark Theme.
- Updated Windows Vista Theme. (Which you should suspect about why im using this as a extra theme?) ![](//storage.proboards.com/6513581/thumbnailer/JfszOeKQmvVFCfPIkWBM.png) Mini Update is now here. Which now its the final one. | Version 3.0.1 : The return of Internet Explorer 8 and its extra 2 additions, 1 fix and 1 improvement. (Final Version.) - Added Internet Explorer 7/8 Theme to Firefox ESR 115. (Rinfox) - Added the Classic Pie Chart to Local Disk Properties, Its actually really close enough. But even though it could be great for an Classic Theme port. (Thanks to Aubrey!) (and other things that i can't seem to remember..)So now here are some fixes and improvements that i put into this Mini Update: - Removed the Build Number Strings from the Desktop. (which wasn't in the Origina l Windows 7, but it could be used for an theme if Windows wasn't activated.) - Rearranged the Start Menu and the All Program List a little bit. Now it looks a bit better.(And more improvement and fixes to the Setup.)

How did you already know how does the Windows 7 login screen worked on Windows 10? I'm pretty sure it is too difficult to get this working properly.

Well i do know modifying the Logon Screen's interface to an Old Operating System's Login Screen layout might take alot of time to decode it. But now for how the Windows 7 Logon Screen worked on my Computer, Well, I don't see the point to actually explain right now. But as you're seeing the logon screen i got was not even a real one. So il remove that instead because its a fake logon screen. Because from now on its only going to be cmd Console Logon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Now i finally finished this Setup Project. This Setup is finally complete.
This was an BIG transformation. Alot of time and alot of work into it. But now its over.
Now if you want this to become as an custom Windows 10 ISO, then let me know if i should create this or not.

How did you restore these? Well i only did modify usercpl.dll and its mui to restore those 2 fuctional pages. But they seem to be broken at some time. But still, the only option is still Metro Settings, just to customize further. And that's why i did restore it.

Quick Message :So i wanted to inform you, that im still working on to creating the Custom ISO. But this time with an pre-set user. Because don't worry. I changed the Username after doing it. But i guess you might suspect about why the User Folder's Name is still the same. Here is the proof for your pleasure: ![](//storage.proboards.com/6513581/thumbnailer/QvGcAfExJapQqxraHRyR.png) Now, This might take a really long time. Besides from another DISM error, im always trying to do my best.

So.. Recently, i was still trying to create the Custom ISO as quick as possible but it didn't go as planned. But Now.. I have bad news.
As you can see, i kept getting DISM errors too much. And this is why i forgot to realize that, an Built-In Administrator Account would work if i did it. But now unfortunatley since im going to keep getting DISM errors, This is what i will say.
I Give Up. I actually tried my best. So i guess i won't be making this as an custom ISO then. There is pretty much no more other options.
Now im going to use this as my daily drive, just incase if anything goes wrong.
Well because we don't have to worry about it. Because there is still Windows10to7 mods out there.
So im really sorry if this didn't work out.
Oh wait! Maybe i can make the Transformed Setup into an Full Conversion Kit. Because from now on i'm retiring from creating the Custom ISO.

I think you'll have better luck creating an WIM by using DISM in WinPE. I use DISm commands on WinPE and I never got any issues.
