    Is it possible to run a Win 7 driver 32bit on a Win 10 or 11 OS install?


    I have an industrial laser cutting machine $80K that I bought back in the XP days. I managed to get it to run on Win 7 about 6 years ago but I'd really like to get it to run on Win 10 or even 11. It is a 32 bit driver, the manufacturer stopped driver support at XP. Is there a mode I can run in 10 or 11 to make the system "think" it's running win 7? I've tried compatability mode and a few 3rd party apps but nothing seems to work.

    :)

    Is it still possible to find a Win 7 install .ISO?

    You managed to work it out: congratz!

    I had many issues when i moved to Ryzen 5 and could not get Win 7 to install properly because of USB not being detected but i fixed it ... by removing Win 7 ... permanently ...

    Now using Ubuntu.

    Yes, just use the Vista x64 drivers. Should work.
