I’ve been using Windows for years, and I’m curious about something that seems to fly under the radar. With all the talk about Windows 10 and 11, I want to revisit Windows 7 and the role of third-party software platforms like FileHippo.
Are platforms like FileHippo still safe and reliable for downloading Windows 7 software? Many users stuck with Windows 7 because of its familiarity and stability, but as time goes on, official updates and support have phased out. With official channels drying up, I see many turning to third-party sites for software and updates. But how do we assess the safety and legitimacy of these sources now?
Additionally, are there any updated security best practices for users who want to continue using Windows 7? I understand new security threats emerge regularly, and without official updates, I’m curious about how these risks are being mitigated by the community.
Looking forward to insights and experiences of anyone who’s been navigating these waters!
