Niekess Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good day, My grandparents still run on their home computer Windows XP and they use it for banking and mail. Obviously is it wise to upgrade them to Windows 7 in the coming weeks but I'm completely sure that this will be a problem for them. Pretty sure the computer can handle it or else I will make it handle Windows 7 with ease. The problem is usability. Windows 7 does looks different as in design and functionalitly compared to Windows XP. My grandparents aren't really up for something as they sometimes already have problems with XP. So I thought to solve this problem by installing Windows 7 with an XP theme. I have searched a bit on the internet but found not yet a theme that looks almost exactly like XP. So my question is, does someone here knows a good XP theme for Windows 7 that would make it easy for old people who have used XP for almost 10 years to understand?

ATLien_0 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Can you not just use the classic theme for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Method Man Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'm sure your grandparents are smart enough that it doesn't have to look just like XP in order to use. Install Classic Shell to get the basic XP-like UI functionality for them. DConnell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope they will understand but if he called me once that he couldn't read emails anymore because the view pane was dragged to the bottom out of view do I have my doubts. The classic shell sure will help for the start menu. Thanks :) I've used this in the past - http://satukoro.deviantart.com/art/Luna-port-to-Windows-7-Aero-136960235 Think I will put that one with classic shell, unless someone else knows better.
