# win7-wrapper
|

## Cool Wrapper/CoolWPR
|
||||
|
||||
CoolWPR for Windows 7/NT 6.1
|
||||
## WHAT'S COOLWPR?
|
||||
- **CoolWPR is a wrapper meant to backport modern Windows 10 APIs back to NT 6.x, and maybe even NT 5.x. It's goal is to be as compatible as possible!**
|
||||
|
||||
- Please note:
|
||||
This is a tool that is meant to be used by developers to fix NT 6.x/NT 5.x OS compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
We don't know we will ever make it like VxKex, because that would take a lot of time which our lead maintainer does not feel like putting into this project(however, if YOU wanna do it, feel free to fork the code and make that a reality)
|
||||
|
||||
### Major project update
|
||||
|
||||
So, about the release date.. as you saw, a lot of our other projects have started adapting CoolWPR (well, cut down versions), such as [NodeJS7](https://git.randomserver.top/administrator/nodejs7), [Electron7](https://git.randomserver.top/administrator/electron7). The thing is we do not want to release an unfinished wrapper, and we wanna add at the very least 30+ major Windows 8.x/10 APIs into this project. NT 6.0 and NT 5.x support is planned, but it's gonna come later.
|
||||
|
||||
update again: our lead maintainer got other some stuff to do, he will come back to this one day
|
||||
|
||||
CoolWPR will have multiple editions for different OSes, this one (win7-wrapper) is designed for windows 7+, and it's also the first one that is expected to be finished the earliest. Once we consider it finished enough, a vista variant will be released (winvista-wrapper), then windows xp (winxp-wrapper). This is why this repo has the name "win7-wrapper" instead of just "CoolWPR". Don't worry about them being separate projects (our lead maintainer has their reasons), they will all have the same exact amount of compatiblity.
|
||||
|
||||
Now for the most important part, the development progress so far (as of the 5th of november, 2024)
|
||||
- win7-wrapper (the MOST developed by far, current support is rated around a late windows 8.0 beta, which may sound bad but it's really not as it has more APIs than regular Windows 7)
|
||||
- winvista-wrapper (the 2nd most developed, this one is gonna be fairly easy to do and will most likely be complete after win7-wrapper's release as vista is NT 6.x)
|
||||
- winxp-wrapper (least developed, but thats because there are a TON of things that need to be redone from scratch)
