If you really want to go crazy, you can manually remove traces of Opera if you want.
When reinstalling Opera, you might try the offline package link at https://www.opera.com/download for the version of Opera you want.
For the installer exe, and launcher.exe and opera.exe in Opera's install folder (and in the version folder in the install folder), you could right-click on the exe, goto properties, and look on the compatibility tab to make sure the compatibility mode isn't enabled and set to Win7 for example. (Although, I don't it'd matter.)

@burnout426 I have the ''Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1288]''. Maybe I'm going to delete it manual if I can't find a better way.

@burnout426 I tried that crazy way you told me, also I install the offline package and nothing changed. It's like I never did anything. Literally when I opened the opera after the clean instalisation (and after I delete al the files from the registry) my last pages were open. What the freak!!?!? It's like I never unistall it man! I'm going crazy right now. What is going on?

blackbird71 last edited by@starwalkers Opera, like most chromium-based browsers, keeps your browsing/personal data files in a different drive location than its program files. When you "uninstall" Opera, you remove the program files, but Opera preserves the browsing/personal data files. During a "reinstall" of Opera, it will sniff out any existing Opera-related data files and connect to them so as to preserve your prior browsing data. Unfortunately, sometimes it can also reconnect you to data files that are corrupted, and a problem from a prior install can be carried in to a new install.
Opera should be getting its Windows-version information from Windows itself, and apparently it thinks you're running a non-Win7/Win10 system... hence the Win7 icons and the notification message. By chance, is your system running a Win10 upgrade from an original Win7 OS?

Also the top right corner of my Opera window has the oleder windows 7 icons.
Which Opera version you are installing?

@starwalkers Did you try what @leocg suggested? Creating a new Windows account, logging into it and trying there as a test would help determine if the problem is just with your user account or not. Create a local user account and not one tied to a Microsoft account.

@burnout426 @donq @blackbird71 @leocg Ok guys so hear me out! I installed another uninstaller the ''Bloatware Uninstaller''. It even deleted files from registry. After that I restarted my PC and installed the offline package. And everything's ok now. At least for me. Thanks for all of your help.

@burnout426 @donq @blackbird71 @leocg Solved Version 2!!! I tried to install Opera to a brand new Laptop (Windows 10) and for some reason it did the Exact same thing! The pop up messenge ''This opera installer works only on Windows 7...'', windows 7 icons (-,❒,X) etc.
What I did is I Installed an older version, the ''69.0.3686.95'' worked for me (the others caused the same problems for some reason) https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/69.0.3686.95/ and it worked Perfectly! Then I went to settings and all I had to do was to update to the latest version.
I have no idea why Opera does this. I really don't and my only geuss is that something has to do with Windows 10? Maybe idk.
