Need a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit VM

Taoron · March 21

I have a need for a vps with windows 7 ultimate 32 bit .. I have a license.

I need to be able to accept inbound connections

I need a static IP

Space, RAM, cpu are all secondary considerations, seeing that I want to run DOS based communications software.

Any provider that supports mounting a custom ISO will do. So you can mount a Windows 7 ISO and install it manually.

@Taoron Do you have location and spec preference? Looks out at our current Sales offer: https://my.kuroit.com/store/sale-offers

Looking Glass: https://www.kuroit.com/locations/

We can Install/mount any Windows or any OS you want.

Let me know if you have any question!

You'll need to be really careful about exposing Windows 7 to the internet because it has some nasty vulnerabilities that never got patched.

@Taoron have a look at our VM configs starting from $3.99 pm. We can also provide custom configurations.

Like @CloudHopper said, I wouldn't recommend it because Windows 7 is god-insecure.

If you really have to do this, get a cheapo Linux dedicated server or VPS with nested virtualization and run Windows 7 as a guest. This way you only expose what you really need to.

I think it's better to recommend going with Windows 10. But @Taoron said that he already has the license for Windows 7

Windows 10 will go EOL this year. It's a better option than Windows 7 security-wise but is also a ticking time-bomb.

Windows Server 2012 and newer doesn't even support 32-bit. Windows 8/10 only do due to low-power x86 tablets (all which are e-waste at this point in time).

Could at least use https://massgrave.dev/tsforge to get the Commercial Extended Security Updates (ESU) so its not as vulnerable to as many things.

Try to dockerize it using Wine. I did so myself for a couple of legacy Windows applications. This way you're not restricted to Windows a VPS and you can contain it a bit better.

We could do 2 VPS's with private networking between, and a virtualized firewall, so you don't have to expose windows 7 to the internet: smcvps.com

Don't listen to any of this negativity. Go in there bareback. Unprotected. Windows 7 no SP's. This is the new world. Be a trailblazer.
