    While we try to avoid raising minimum supported versions of OSes, libraries and dependencies, build tools, and plenty of other things unnecessarily, at some point, we will be forced to raise them. For example, if the latest build tools drop support for older platforms, then we can no longer support those older platforms. Of course, we don't have to use those newer build tools, but since we want Tenacity to work on modern systems, that is a must. It's also something that requires maintenance too.

    If you are still on Windows 7 or 8.1, we recommend the following:

    * Upgrade to Windows 10. Although Windows 10 went EOL Back in October 2025, ESU updates are still available until October 12, 2027.

    * If you can, switch to Linux. Chances are, your hardware likely isn't supported by Windows 11 if your computer originally came with Windows 7 or 8.1, and if you can't or won't upgrade to Windows 10, then switching to Linux may serve you better than buying new hardware.

    If none of those options work for you, and you cannot obtain new hardware, which is very understandable given today's times, you will still be able to use older versions of Tenacity that do support these platforms. Just understand that you will not get any further fixes for bugs or security vulernabilities, in addition to receiving no support whatsoever. If you want to fix things, you're on your own, unfortunately :(
