Windows 7 compatibility

Unread post by mopskarel » 2025-05-10, 15:29

Also i wanted to ask, is there any chance that will sometime end support for Windows 7? (When its based on that Firefox 52 i dont see why it would but idk) It would be very bad, i´m using Windows 7 everywhere. Right now works official build even on XP with OCA and Vista with Extended Kernel (non-AVX only). If it will end, it would be good to have it working at least with VxKex-Next.

PM is a fork and developed independently of Firefox for a long time, if the developers want, they can provide support for Windows 7.

Although, due to security reasons, I strongly recommend moving to another OS, e.g. a Linux distribution, FreeBSD or current Windows.
