I need a replacement for the disabled weather gadget in Windows 7. I tried the one by the weather channel but it will only work on one profile. I like the MSN weather app that runs on Windows 8, but can't download it for Wondows 7.

I think it is a bit shoddy of Microsoft to only make the MSN weather app for Windows 8. Windows 8 will not work on my computer, even though it is 2 years old and a gamer.  I don't like, or want, Windows 8. Have lots of practice using it fixing other's computers.

I need a nice weatherr app that works on multiple profiles. Any ideas on what weather app to use or how to obtain and install the MSN app for Windows 7?

    I'm in the same boat with Sherry.  Our COMPANY computers are currently using Windows 7, so I don't have a choice to upgrade to Windows 8 (not that I like being forced to change my OS because Microsoft says so, but I digress...).  I loved having my weather gadget up in the corner of my monitor to be able to check the weather at a glance, without having to stop what I'm doing and open a weather page in my browser.  This gadget is handy for me as I don't have any windows in my office and I'd like to be able to plan for the weather outside when I leave.

    Are you saying they have just discontinued gadgets and have no alternative weather apps in place to replace them for Windows 7 users?  Mine was working fine up until this week (June 1, 2015).  If they can create "secure" apps for Windows 8, why not Windows 7 also?

    Very disappointed.

    No more support for windows 7, Microsoft is just like google, forcing you to do what they want you to.

    Hi Sherry,

    Thank you for posting your concern on the forum.

    As per the issue description you want to install MSN Weather App on Windows 7. As per my knowledge there is no such application available for Windows 7. However, you may try to set MSN as your home page on Internet Explorer and can have all those information of local weather on that page.

    I would suggest you to click on send me a link in the below mentioned article of MSN and see if you are able to receive any download link of MSN weather app or not on your email.

    Get prepared. Download the MSN Weather app.

    Hope the information provided is helpful. Do let us know if you have any more concern related to Windows. We will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,

    I tried the "send me a link," before I posted here. It takes me to the Windows 8 download page for the MSN weather app.

    Sorry, I don't want MSN as my homepage. I prefer Bing with it's pictures.   

    Microsoft is in the business of making money, not customer service. This is why they made the MSN weather app only available to Windows 8 users -- a ploy to get users of Windows 7 to update. Something other 3rd party vendors do not do. Shame on Microsoft.

    Not allowed to post on MSN forum unless I have an account. This is for Microsoft to answer: Why don't you mkae the wether app compatible with Windows 7 and 8, not just 8?
