Windows 7 Regal Business Edition 2014 x64 is a bootleg Windows 7 SP1 edition, which was created by Nishant of Reckons International Team. It was released on July 15, 2013, and was added to the archive on October 9, 2023.

The "Regal" in the name is a synonym for the word "Royal". This bootleg is the sequel to the long-lost Windows Royal Business Edition SP1 (there was a Home Premium variant), which was based on Windows Vista. It was made by Benjamin Samson, also from the Reckons International Team (then named Rockers International Team).

Description

The ISO is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It comes with many new programs, themes and wallpapers. It comes with registry tweaks. It comes with its own autorun, which was made with AutoPlay Media Studio.

On the first boot of the OS, it will first apply an OEM certificate and attempt to apply the key from the Autounattend.xml file, and then RunOnce keys will be made which will install the bundled software and then it will clean up itself afterwards.

It is preactivated.
