Revert8Plus
Windows 7 and Vista transformation pack for Windows 10 and 11
What is Revert8Plus?

Revert8Plus is a fully automated and customisable transformation pack for users of Windows 10 or 11. It enables you to transform the look of your PC into Windows 7, in just five clicks of your mouse. It was first released in February 2024, with the current version, v4, having been released in January 2025.

The transformation pack restores many of the features you might now miss, including aero glass, start menu, control panel, and Windows Media Center. It works with all versions of Windows 10 and 11, up to 24H2. As most features do not require system file modifications, Windows updates can still be installed without issue. If you install it and for any reason change your mind, the transformation pack can be quickly and simply uninstalled from control panel.

The main features that Revert8Plus v4 restores to their W7 versions are as follows: Start Menu, taskbar, File Explorer, standard controls, aero glass, tray menus, alt-tab, basic and classic theme, Control panel, UWP titlebars, login screen, context menus, file copy dialog, message boxes, aero peek, and UAC.

History

Revert8Plus happened by chance, beginning with the creation of a script to install programs and configure settings. This script saved time, when frequently having to reinstall Windows. After lots of customisation tweaks, it appeared that the computer was looking increasingly like Windows 7, which was brilliant!

With further tweaks, the script continued to be updated, resulting in the emergence of a Windows 7 transformation pack. At the time, aware of no similar tool that could automate the process of making a computer look like Windows 7, the obvious next step was to publish the project, and so Revert8Plus was born!

Since its initial release in February 2024, Revert8Plus has been completely re-written from the ground up, with each subsequent version seeing significant improvements. It has been simplified and has enhanced performance, along with having many more features and being more customisable.

As ever, there are always more improvements being discovered, so Revert8Plus will continue to be developed for the foreseeable future.
