If you're using Windows 10 or Windows 11 but miss Windows 7, there's a simple way to make your newer OS look like the older one. This method works for turning Windows 8 or above into Windows 7 or Vista. It may take some time, but all you have to do is enter a command in the Run box and most things will be done automatically. You can also add extra features like Windows Media Player 11 if you want.
To easily install the Revert8Plus script, just follow these steps :
1. Hold down Win+R to open the Run box.
2. Type in the following command
That's it! You'll be able to transform your Windows 10 or 11 into Windows 7 or Vista.
To perform this trick, you will need to use a third-party script called Revert8Plus. Installing it is simple. Just press Win+R to open the Run box and enter the following command :
powershell irm revert8plus.gitlab.io | iex
To begin the transformation process, simply press OK and confirm the UAC prompt. If you're using Windows 11, make sure to disable tamper protection in the Virus and Threat Protection Settings. For Windows 8, 8.1, or 10, this step will be taken care of automatically.
To watch the full installation process, refer to the video below. It is important to note that there is a certain level of risk involved in this process, although it has worked fine for us. Therefore, it is advisable not to perform this on a system that you rely on for daily use. Apart from that, everything should function normally as the script only changes the appearance of the operating system, not the OS itself.

It also brings back features like the details pane, command bar, navigation buttons, address bar, and search bar. Additionally, it includes extra features like Windows Media Center.
To get the Windows Vista theme, open the Run box and type the following command.
VistaToggle
