therealunhinged 2 Posted October 6, 2018 Before I try and most likely waste my time - I was wondering whether anyone has already successfully got a server running on a Windows 7 system? I know the minimum specs are: OS: Windows Server 12-16 or Windows 10 But I have a spare windows 7 machine that camt be upgraded just sitting here and thought I would use it if possible!

Aussie Cleetus 57 Posted October 6, 2018 if it can't run windows 10, it's highly unlikely to perform well enough to host a server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do the world a favor - hot damn, I can probably run win 10 on the controller in my washing machine BUT I got my PRIDE & I want to bring up my kids RIGHT. Most USA aircraft carriers and nuke subs run on win10 that's why commanders and techs float around going nowhere kicking the hardware so often (they have a special klaxon for Reboot) & the next USA moon landing will be totally Win 10.5 = embedded avionics, communications, tablet snapshots, ground control and live tweets. So I guess they'll find the Chinese living on the moon mining Uranium and having birthday parties when the USA gets there. They-all USA military folk should at LEAST have stuck with XP - I DUNG WARNT'D THEM -<< CHINA IS about + 250% LINUX ALL DOWN THE LINE >>.. and the shit is going to HIT the fan while it's pointing West. - had to get that off my chest. Good! PlayOnLinux will get round to adding DayZ to their LONG list of games (development tools, and OTHER stuff) now the DayZ server files are available. just a matter of time and interest.. Maybe threalunhinged should put Linux on his spare box and get used to finding his way around it - see how it works (if he's not done that before). A thing like that could change his life.

Your not normal, but I like that..... The Windows 7 machine can easily run a server but cant be upgraded to 10 as it isnt supported Lenovo M91p with i5 2400 at 3.1GHz 8gb of DDR3 and 250gb ssd.... but no support for windows 10 for 2nd gen intel cpu's from intel or Lenovo so no driver support! When Linux support for server files is out that has the way I will go but until then I was just wondering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dracondark 2 Posted October 6, 2018 i run one on windows 7 ultimate and it runs fine so the short answer is yes it will run on windows 7. my rig is a bit older and i refuse to switch to win 10 yet lol but it runs it just make sure it is a decent quad core and good amount of ram and you should be fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
