For many users,Windows 7was, and still is, one ofMicrosoft’sbest ever platforms. As such, Win 7 has retained a substantial user base that waseventually eclipsed by Windows 10.

However,Microsoftis totally committed to Windows 10 and will end support for Win 7 by 2020.

Nevertheless, the YouTuber Mr. Advan has added a new, completely unofficial,Windows 72018 Remastered Edition design concept video to YouTube that shows howMicrosoftcould revamp Win 7.

Did you know you can keep using your Windows 7 forever? Learn how to do that from out detailed guide!

Mr. Avdan’s Win 7 video is a short clip that runs for about a minute and a half. Nevertheless, that video provides a tantalizing glimpse of what a remasteredWindows 7edition is like.

The video showcases aWindows 7edition with theAcrylic UI design styleincorporated withinWindows 10. The remastered edition’s Start menu looks more like the one in Windows 10, but it retains the orb button from Win 7.

The remastered edition’sStart menualso includes white-on-blue tile icons instead of the multicolored tiles.

The video also includes transparentwindows.Microsoftlargely abandoned the Windows Aero transparency effect in both Windows 10 and 8. However, some users prefer the transparency of the Win 7 windows.

The most interesting aspect of the design concept video, however, is perhaps thedynamic wallpaper.

Speaking of wallpapers, maybe you’re interested in some Windows 10 skins for Windows 7. You came to the right place for that. Choose a skin pack from ourfresh list!

The video shows us a remasteredWindows 7that includes dynamicwallpaperwhich changes along with the time of day. As such, theOSswitches to a dark theme mode at night.

That dynamicwallpapershown in the video is comparable tomacOS Mojave’s time-shifting Dynamic Desktop. Dynamicwallpaperis a great addition to Windows 10 and 7.

Microsofthas never released a remastered edition of any of its platforms. The closest thing wasWindows 8.1, which was basically Win 8 with a Start menu.

So the big M will probably never launch aWindows 7Remastered Edition. The software giant is doing all it can to convinceWindows 7users to embrace Win 10.

That began with its free one-year upgrade offer, and now the company is launching many of its latest games andMS Office exclusively for Win 10.

Nevertheless, the design concept video might provideMicrosoftwith some great ideas that could be incorporated in Windows 10.

Dynamic wallpapers would be a great addition to Windows 10 thatMicrosoftcould include in future updates.

One developer has even released a WinDynamicDesktop app that ports Mojave’s Dynamic Desktop to Windows 10, which you can download fromthis webpage.
