Windows 8 task manager, on Windows 7

As the MSDN Blog explained in great detail, the Windows 8 Task Manager is a big leap from the Windows 7, Vista (and especially the XP)version.

Is there a way for me to run the Windows 8 Task Manager on my Windows 7 computer?

Assuming I had the program, would it run properly?

Where could I get just the Task Manager?

Solution 1:

This is NOT possible as Microsoft always makes the windows Component just-for-it, Like you can not run Windows 7 Task Manager on Windows XP, You can not run Windows 8 Task Manager in Windows 7. This is something like built for native environment. This question was also asked on many places on the internet, such as here (Microsoft Forum) and here. There is a look-alike task manager here (this is not a complete task manager).

If you are to find one, please also give it to me as I was also trying to achieve this.

Edit: Just found another software named Process Hacker, Its quite similar to Windows 8 Task Manager.

Solution 2:

Try process explorer as well. It can replace the default task manager and it has win 8 style graphs as well, including GPU monitoring.

Solution 3:

Maybe give Process Hacker a try instead.
