8GadgetPack is a small utility with which you can install the original Gadget program files on Windows 7/8/10. 8GadgetPack brings back Windows 7 gadgets to Windows 8/10. It contains a collection of 60 popular widgets and creates a sidebar on your desktop. 8GadgetPack flawlessly integrates into Windows 8/10 without causing any issues. It has a good reaction speed, delivers accurate information, and uses a low amount of CPU and RAM. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. To sum it up, 8GadgetPack brings good news to all users who upgraded to Windows 8 but have missed Windows 7 gadgets. Aside from the Windows 7 sidebar where you can easily organize and access active windows, you can write notes, to-do lists and appointments in an agenda with a calendar, access a separate calendar, as well as create a panel for launching apps, opening files/folders and visiting URLs.
