I just reinstalled Windows 7 on one of my computer. It works fine but internet explorer doesn't work. How do I get browse the web using Windows 7?

You'll need an older copy of the program.
Same with Firefox, and I would imagine also Chrome.
The current version of Firefox no longer supports Win 7 either.
(One reason I replaced our 10 year old Win 7 box. I was fine with 7, but...)

My Windows 7 laptop runs Firefox just fine. Try it. What you won't get are any updates to Firefox - no big deal.

Pray tell, what version of Firefox are you running on 7? v.115 maybe???
Will the current downloadable version run on 7? I doubt it.
I'm running 124.0.1 on our Win 11 boxes.
I had an older version running on our Win 7 box just fine, but it was no longer receiving updates.
Saying "Firefox runs just fine on 7." is extremely ambiguous.....

They said Chrome 109 would run fine on Win7 but I can't seem to down load it any where. So yeah which version of Firefox?

Looks like v.115, if one can find it.

Found a version 104. It's old but it works. I am on the UHH with it right now. Thank you all!

I love Firefox. I've been using it exclusively since it was Netscape.

Yikes! Win 7 is so old, it has cataracts that make it hard to see anything.

I tried, but could not find a good reason to keep an old DOS box.

Ah! I just won a bet with myself that someone would pop up who still uses DOS.
I have a friend who learned computer repair and coding in the Army in the 1960s. To this day, he can sit down at a computer and type in 4 different computer languages from back in the day. He does have a bit of trouble keeping a computer old enough running. The new ones don't play well with those four old languages. He tried emulators but couldn't find one that didn't have bugs, and he doesn't consider it worth the trouble to write his own anymore.
Back when we hung around together a lot (70s & 80s) he wrote his own software for auctions he ran. It was so good that other auctioneers begged him to sell them copies.
