... You do know Daemon Tools was updated ages ago to support Windows 7 "Out of the box" without any tweaks?

Also, daemon tools has become trash, filled with crap. Virtual CloneDrive is so much better and works under W7 as well.

I was having issues and I checked the DT forums, where a lot of people were also having issues. did anyone have to do anything special to get it to work?

cropcircles, I notice that your signature states that you're running the RC, NOT the RTM. It worked fine in the RC for me, not the RTM though.

:rolleyes: You shouldn't bold something when you're wrong.

Well I'm not the only one having issues. When it didn't work, I went onto the official forum and seen that the OFFICIAL response was "A new version with full Windows 7 support will be released shortly" and figured that it must have been a problem. A housemate of mine has the exact same issue, so forgive me for perhaps indicating that it has issues when, in fact, it clearly does :rolleyes:.

It doesn't work for me (and at least 2 other people), so how am I wrong saying that it doesn't work? That makes you wrong. And you shouldn't bold things when you're wrong. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Keyword being figured. After 3 people came in saying it supported it at the very top and the OP retracted his statement. I am not wrong that it works, you however are wrong. If it works for some people, then clearly it IS working. You didn't indicate it has issues, you flat out said it doesn't work.

By all the smileys, I can see I have offended you. Daemon Tools, serious business. :p

i just used poweriso, i'll try it out when i get my new computer

+1 Power ISO's image drive works, but I don't think they use the SPTD SCSI passthrough driver that is used in Daemon tools, which is what actually causes the compatibility issues

Get over yourself, I was pointing out your own arrogance. You're saying I'm flat out wrong because it works for you, but equally I could say that you're flat out wrong because it DOESN'T work for me and several others. Clearly, there IS a problem somewhere, with something. Who knows what it is, but it certainly doesn't work the way it should.

    • Surface Pro 11 and Laptop 7 get big firmware updates that fix shutdowns, black screens, more by Taras Buria Microsoft has released major firmware updates for some of its ARM-powered Copilot+ PCs. The Surface Pro 11 and the Surface Laptop 7 can now download the June 2025 firmware updates. These updates address a wide range of issues, including abrupt shutdowns when playing Netflix, black screen flashes, bugs with the Slim Pen haptics in OneNote, incorrect battery indication on the taskbar, and various performance improvements. Here are the changelogs for both devices: Surface Pro 11 Surface Laptop 7 Reliability: Improves system stability and reduces the frequency of unexpected shutdowns or the occurrence of a black screen while watching Netflix. Mitigates the issue that could cause screen flashing or a blank display during power state transitions. Improves the touch experience by resolving an issue where touch functionality could be lost after the device remained in Sleep mode for an extended period. Addresses an issue with Slim Pen losing haptic or Side button functionality in Microsoft OneNote. Resolved an issue where the battery icon incorrectly displayed the device as plugged in after waking from Sleep mode, even when it was not connected to a power source. ​ Performance and usability: Resolves the issue that caused authentication failures while using Windows Hello when waking from Sleep mode. Improves camera stability by reducing unexpected crashes and addressing issues, including freezing in video calls when HDR is enabled, errors when launching the Camera app or taking photos, and problems switching between front and rear cameras in some apps. Mitigates an issue where the Settings app could crash when setting up Fingerprint recognition. Interoperability: Resolves connectivity issues that caused the device to lose wired network access or fail to detect external monitors when connected via USB-C. Reliability: Improves overall stability, reducing occurrences of unexpected crashes and error screens. Reduces the occurrence of crashes during audio streaming sessions. Minimizes display timeout events and reduces the frequency of recovery cycles. Resolves an issue that caused the screen to remain black when resuming from Sleep mode. Performance and usability: Addresses an intermittent audio disruption experienced during video playback with Bluetooth headsets. Resolves a problem that caused Teams audio to drop during transitions between Bluetooth and built-in speakers. Addresses a startup issue that prevented USB Type-A devices from being recognized on the first boot. Interoperability: Resolves an issue introduced in the April 2025 release that prevented Thunderbolt 4 monitors from functioning when connected to the host device. You can get these updates by heading to Settings > Windows Update. Like Windows updates, Surface firmware releases are cumulative, which means a single download contains every update released so far. While the latest firmware updates for the Surface Pro 11 and the Surface Laptop 7 do not contain any known issues, keep in mind that firmware is not uninstallable, so back up important data to keep it safe before updating. You can find release notes for the Surface Pro 11 here and the Surface Laptop 7 here. Note that these updates are only available for Snapdragon-based versions, not those with Intel processors.
    • Here’s some history of this nonsense for people with short memories. https://www.neowin.net/amp/windows-next-hate-is-nothing-new/
    • 7 worked because vista cleared the way for it. Hardware manufacturers stopped making the “vista capable” machines, the updated secure drivers were released, and the issue with software manufacturers making everything with admin privileges was sorted. Vista took the reputational damage to do what was necessary so that 7 could be beloved.
    • You don’t remember the people who swore they were going to stay on 98se/2k because of windows xp’s “fisher price” interface/bloat.
