Version 2 will not install on work computer which uses Windows 7

[William Stuckey]

Good Afternoon,

I have been using Affinity for a year now at my job with the military.  It has always worked on Windows 7 (which is the only OS military programs work on at this time.  Version 2 will not install or even engage on this computer.  Does version 2 require Windows 10 to work?  The size of the app is not that bigger then version 1 and I do not see why a graphics program would need an upgraded version of windows to work properly. 

Thanks in advance.  

William

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @William Stuckey.

Yes, Windows 10 or 11 are required now, presumably to simplify current and future development work by getting to a higher level of known functionality in the OS.

We do not support Windows 7 I'm afraid. 

Microsoft themselves no longer support Windows 7 and will end their support for Windows 8 in January.

Affinity has looked promising but no more so leaving and uninstalling
