New page

'''Windows 7''' is an [[Operating System]] for the [[PC]] by [[Microsoft]]. It was published in 2009 and is still supported with updates up until 2020.

==Tomb Raider Games for Windows 7==

{{Remark|Compatibility of the original game discs| |with [[Windows]]||on newer versions (like downloadable Steam games)|Steam|}}

===using third party software===
The following game will work with Windows 7 by using [[Glidos]] or [[DosBox]]:
* [[Tomb Raider]]
:* Windows 7 does not supports real mode [[DOS]].
:* Running 16-bit applications like the original Tomb Raider is technically impossible on 64-bit versions of Windows. You will have to use Glidos or DosBox.

===using compatibility mode and or patches===
The following games will work with Windows 7 by either using the compatibility mode and/or an unofficial [[patch]].
* [[Tomb Raider II]]
* [[Tomb Raider III]]
* [[Tomb Raider IV The Last Revelation]]
* [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]
: Tomb Raider II through Chronicles will for the most part run at once or with the "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode enabled.
* [[Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness]]
: In Vista Microsoft has removed the Direct3D interface used by [[EAX]]. Owners of a Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card manufactured by Creative can avoid this problem by using the program [[ALchemy]]. You might also try the Multi Patch listed at [http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/vista/patch.html tombraiderchronicles.com].

===out-of-the-box===
The following games will work in Windows Vista. For some of these Service Packs have to be installed.
* [[Tomb Raider Legend]]
* [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]
* [[Tomb Raider Underworld]]
* [[Tomb Raider (2013)]]

An upgrade to [[Windows 10]] was offered free of charge for one year after its release, a limit that was further extended for users using any kind of assistive technologies - tools designed for people with impaired hearing or sight - up until the end of 2017.

+Where Vista was not very much liked by the users, who preferred to stick with the older and proven [[Windows XP]], 7 was a huge success, so much that people were refusing to migrate to the newer [[Windows 8]] and even the current [[Windows 10]], citing the same reasons: Better compatibility, accustomed look and feel, and - especially in the case of 10 - better privacy.
-===using third party software===
+Compatibility with [[Tomb Raider Games]] is very good, even for older games from the pre-NT era.
