Can you share only the wall? I don't use Windows OS.

I'm uploading all the wallpapers from the theme pack now, I'll post the link in a sec.

Edit: rm200010 beat me to it but I'll post the link anyway in case people want any of the other wallpapers from it.

And how does one go about doing this "mod"? I was under the impression that the 4GB limit was fixed and not changeable.

Here's the link for more details: http://www.pallab.net/2009/12/30/enable-more-than-4gb-memory-in-windows-vista-7/

Just make sure you physically have 4gb + of ram before applying this mod

This is off topic, but i'm curious...

why should anyone install this patch and not use the x64 Win7 version? :rolleyes:

To be honest, reasons for not using x64 version are getting fewer and fewer everyday as drivers as well as software support has improved significantly.

The linked website is actually my blog. I don't expect there to be major hiccups during the procedure, but the disclaimer is to be on the safe side. Also, I think sfc might be able to undo the changes (not confident about this).

    • hands down the worst version of Windows to date and sadly I think it's only downhill from here
    • I've never known a release to have so much pressure than this one. There is so much riding on the whole games industry because of everything that's changed in the past five years. That if this is a complete flop then I think the whole games industry is done unless something radically changes.
    • Windows 11 is now five years old by Taras Buria Windows 11 is now half a decade old. Five years ago, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced its latest operating system, designed to "bring you closer to what you love." Today, Windows 11 celebrates its fifth birthday. The launch of Windows 11 was interesting. Rumors about Microsoft introducing a Windows 10 successor popped up weeks before the public announcement, and a few days later, an entire preview build leaked online, allowing everyone to take a peek at what Microsoft was preparing. A few weeks later, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 11 was a thing and officially unveiled its next-gen operating system. Early versions of Windows 11 promised quite a lot. A redesigned, more modern user interface, a brand new Start menu and taskbar, improvements to virtual desktops and window snapping, Android app support, Teams integrated into the taskbar, Windows Widgets, a new version of the Microsoft Store, improved security, and more. Some of those features were welcomed, while others were received with heavy criticism. Besides missing taskbar and Start menu features, many disliked the steep hardware requirements, which kicked out PCs that were back then still perfectly fine. TPM and Secure Boot became mandatory, causing a spike in sales of dedicated TPM chips for motherboards. Double-layered context menus were disliked as well, and it is something that Microsoft still has to fix. Additionally, with time, some of Windows 11's exclusive features were simply killed. Microsoft removed the Teams integration and discontinued Android app support. During the early days of Windows 11, Microsoft was quite unwilling to address things that users criticized most. After four years on the market, management changes, and heated competition from the Mac camp, Microsoft finally decided to give in and take its operating system back to the drawing board to fix everything users had been complaining about for years. Microsoft is now redesigning the Start menu, adding missing taskbar features, improving Windows Update, fixing Windows 11's context menu, and more. Some believe all that warrants a new Windows 12 release, but for now, it appears that Windows 11 will stick around for a while. With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11!
    • It’s a code which will be connected to your account. You can share the box but that would be sort of pointless.
