        @danycicerone The best thing to do is this: Simply be specific with the problem you are having. Somebody likely will be able to help you. 🙂

          What type of install did you choose? If you did a "standalone" install then Opera made no changes to the registry and thus can't be set as default browser. If you did a single-user install (the default option - if you didn't change any settings in the installer this is what you should have) or an "all users" install then it should be possible to make Opera default.

          What version of Opera?

                @danycicerone You can't choose Opera as your default browser? Or you can but the setting resets back to another browser? Or Opera is set as default browser but when you open a link, it opens in another browser?

                  You can ask at https://forums.opera.com/category/35/español if needed.

                  But, you can translate the following if you want:

                  I would uninstall Opera via Programs and Features in Windows 7. When uninstalling, do not choose to delete your data.

                  Then, I would download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to "C:\Program Files\Opera", set "install for" to "All Users", uncheck "import data from default browser", check "Make Opera the default browser", adjust any other options you need to, and install. Then, goto Default Programs in Windows and make sure Opera is set as the default browser and make sure it has all its defaults.
