📎 AI Summary:
The original poster is seeking to modify Windows 10 so that its window buttons (close, maximize, minimize) and overall window appearance resemble those of Windows 7, specifically aiming for smaller buttons and similar aesthetics. Several users explain that the graphical interface differences are inherent to the operating systems, and while themes can change the look in Windows 7, similar modifications in Windows 10 are limited and may require risky hacking. The thread concludes with a moderator merging related posts, indicating the core issue remains unresolvable through standard customization methods.

You can install different themes, but nothing will change those graphics in Windows 10 short of maybe hacking the resource files (which is risky).

You do not understand, I did not mention the function of the buttons close, maximize, minimize, but their appearance, and the appearance of the window, which in windows 7 are smaller, rectangular, etc. I wanted to put a picture of the windows 7 window and the windows 10 window so you could look at the difference, but I do not know how to put photo on that site.

An image from 'buttons close, maximize and minimize, win10 same as win7 or vista?'. Close and minimize buttons on two different window title bars, one green and one blue.

I managed to put the photos, I want to leave the window of windows 10 identical to that of windows 7, see the difference in the buttons, they are not the same, I want the windows of windows 10, the buttons to be the same as to windows 7.

An image from 'buttons close, maximize and minimize, win10 same as win7 or vista?'. Two close-up screenshots of different software windows with distinct title bar colors and control buttons.

As far as I know of you don't. Windows 7 and Windows 10 have different windowing graphics.

But in windows 7, we installed themes to change the windows, in windows 10 no theme or software can change the model of windows, what put in windows 10 that prevents this change? in windows xp, vista and 7 I could change the windows easily.
