thomasp Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 It's no longer possible with V2, you have to keep using V1 if you want to run on Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the system requirements have been bumped up across the board, also on the Mac side. I (grudingly) did the switch to Windows 10 at the start of this year, wasn't pretty. My condolences.

At any rate, thank you and the other responders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashf Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Adobe and Corel have cut Windows 7 support long time ago. You can barely find modern graphic software that still supports Windows 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can barely find modern graphic software that still supports Windows 7 There's been a whole lot of water under the bridge since Windows 7 debuted 12 years ago. By this time it's just an old insecure OS. I understand -- IMO the Win7 UI / UX is still better than any Windows since in many ways, but it's a problem waiting to happen, particularly in a network / security context.

Danielcz Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 im on win 7 too (will upgrade in coming months) but i know that it was told on the forum by a team member (it was not prime subject of the topic) long time ago (months/years) that V2 will not support Win 7, maybe it was in beta forum section ?

Lee Why is it distributed in MSIX? Any good reason? Because it seems you can't change installation path and my Windows Drive is too small...

If you are taking about Windows 7, V2 requires Windows 10, so installing shouldn't matter.
