A brief overview
The idea behind the project was to satisfy the needs of demanding users (power users), facilitating them in three main areas:
In the proper installation of Windows 7 operating system.
In the administrative control of the system's operation, and the strict control of communications with the internet.
In the optimal utilization of the capabilities of modern technology, and their harmonization with the high demands of an experienced user, in intensive daily use.
This project, which began in 2012-2013 and lasted for almost a decade, was a cornerstone for the accumulation of expertise and experience, not only in the subject matter of the project itself, but also in a number of other areas (specification development, documentation, archiving, etc.).

During the project, security checks and test installations were gradually carried out on thousands of applications on different topics. A few hundred managed to pass the strict specifications that had been set and formed the collection of companion applications.
The results of the parallel systematic research on the installation and activation of Windows 7 (along with proper instructions and accompanying files), and the collection of accompanying applications, composed the SoL-System-764 platform, which operates seamlessly on SoL workstations to this day.
The documentation of the project was extremely laborious, due to the rigidity of the strict specifications, and the volume of individual elements! The body of applications proved useful over time, since with some modifications, it later served as the basis for the new platforms that were created, for the next versions of Windows.
