Windows 7 Red Edition is a bootleg Windows 7 SP1 edition, which was created by Freeware Sys. It released on September 20, 2015, and was added to the archive on August 6, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows 7 SP1 ISO. It is themed after Project(RED) Windows Vista, like Windows XP Vortex 3G Red Edition, but not nearly as interesting. It includes some themes, along with a WPI with many programs included. Parts of the setup are unattended.

Changes from Windows 7 SP1

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

New setup graphics including the aforementioned red style (in this case, (Product) RED is used as the background) added. The setup window has been made nearly transparent, and some of the icons are replaced. Windows 8.1's setup engine is used in place of the original one, which explains the Windows 8.1 boot screen you get when you first boot the bootleg
New boot screen included, thanks to a script that automatically gets executed on first boot that applies the boot skin (like in Freeware Sys's other bootlegs)
New pre-OOBE graphics
The OOBE banner is replaced with the bootleg's name
New login graphics. The "Welcome" text has been blanked out

Look and feel

WPI

The WPI is notable for being very unstable, it may take several tries to get it to start properly.
NetWorx, Nero BROM & Express and Classic Shell will fail to install due to it being in the wrong folder.
CCleaner will fail to install due to the installer being broken.
HashCheck and Desktop Gadgets will fail to install due to it not existing at all.
