Thank you for WinPython!

According to python.org (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/), Python 3.9.2 cannot be used on Windows 7 or earlier.

Which versions of WinPython can be used with Windows 7? If you provide the info, I'm happy to update the README for you.

Also, https://winpython.github.io/ needs to be updated with this essential information, and I'm happy to help with that as well.

Hi,

There are three milestones:

  • when WinPython stopped being developped on Windows 7: end July 2016
  • when Microsoft ended support Windows 7: January 2020
  • when Python-3.x stopped support of Windows 7: Python3.9

Also:

  • Nvidia droping support of Windows 32 bit: january 2019
  • Nvidia droping support of Windows 64 bit: january 2020

So:

  • anything after december 2019 is probably not working well, (so after WinPython 3.8.1.0 / WinPython-3.7.6.0)
  • anything before august 2016 is probably working very well (so WinPython-3.5.2.1 and before)
  • only users having Windows 7 can be more precise
