This guide has been written on the 24th of july, 2024, this should work for a few years. If this method ever stops working I'll be more than happy to make a guide on how to compile nodejs from source (ofc, patched for Windows Vista/7/8)

## How to backport
|
|
|
|
> Steps needed before backporting:
|
|
|
|
Download CFF explorer
|
|
|
|
[You can download it from here](https://ntcore.com/explorer-suite/)
|
|
|
|
### The actual backporting:
|
|
|
|
1. Install NodeJS, even though you haven't patched it you still need to install it (with the system enviorment variables and everything)
|
|
|
|
After that, open it with CFF Explorer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Load node.exe, if it prompts you to load 40mbs into memory and whatever, just click "No"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Go into the "import directory" and then select "KERNEL32.DLL"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Now find "GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime", and replace it with the following:
|
|
```QueryPerformanceCounter```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think you're supposed to press space or something to actually be able to modify the value (whilst it's selected), not sure tho I patched this like 3 days ago
|
|
|
|
This is what its supposed to look like after all of that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Save it, the save button is on the top left, press "yes" if it asks you about it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Congrats, you've just patched NodeJS for Windows Vista/7/8!
|
