I know it might be a little bit "off-topic" but I just found out that Spotify has dropped support for all Windows 10 32 Bit versions. I have an old 32 bit laptop with Windows 10 22H2 installed and I just received the "Your OS is outdated" warning during start-up (the same on Windows 7/8.1). The last 32 bit version is: 1.2.53.440 (31.01.2025) Current: 1.2.56

Has anyone managed to install Office 2013/2016 on Windows XP with the latest One Core API (v4.0)? The developer claimed that this release is the biggest yet in terms if software compatibility, so I tried it out but the 2013 installer crashes while installing. However, the latest Firefox (v133), which even doesn‘t run on Vista, 7 and 8.1 works on XP! I‘m asking as I have an old netbook with a N455, which either runs XP or 7 Starter and I‘d like to stay on XP with it, as it runs very smoothly. All I need is a newer Office suite, up-to date browser and an Antivirus program (otherwise I‘ll directly go with 7 Home)

Happy new year everyone! I just tested Microsoft (Office) 365 v2501 on Windows 8.1 and it still works. In-app update DOES NOT work anymore, not even with Office Extender Tool. It will tell you that an update is available however the updater will crash mid-through downloading the update (Network error) You know what I find very interesting? You can still download Office v2002 for Windows 7 using the Online Office installer, however you CANNOT download Office v2301 for Windows 8.1 using the same installer anymore. On W7 it works but on 8.1 it will tell you that you need at least Windows 7 SP1, which obviously makes no sense as 8.1 is higher than 7. Microsoft simply blocks downloading Office on 8.1. So, if you want to install Microsoft 365 on Windows 8.1, you will always need to download the Offline files. If it‘s Microsoft 365 (up to 2301) no bypass tool is needed, but if it is a version above 2301, you will need to install it through a Tool, with Office Extender for 8.1 being a prerequisite. OneNote is broken since v2401 and PowerPoint sometime freezes and crashes. Word, Excel and Outlook work without errors. The Office 2024 Suite can be installed on 8.1 and is the third post-EOL Office suite that works on it (Office 2019, 2021, 2024). Nonetheless, I doubt that Office 2026/2027 will work on 8.1 as even Windows 10 will end this year with v2510 or 2511. Same scenario as Windows 7, it will probably stay on security updates till 10/2028. I‘m sure that Office 2026/2027 will be the first to drop Windows 10.

I got Office 2024 LTSC working on Windows 8.1. That's actually good news, since Office 2016/2019 Support is ending alongside Windows 10 next year. I guess MS will support Office 2016/2019 for 6-7 months longer as they previously did with Office 2007 (EOL October 2017 but received updates till March 2018 or Office 2013 which ended in April 2023 but received Updates till November 2023). Office 2021 also ends in approximatly two years, whereas Office 2024 is supported till 2029 Proof: imgur.com/a/office-2024-on-windows-8-1-FsSmaz0

I downloaded v2007 Offline Installer and used the YAOCTRU Tool from abbodi at MDL Since Office 2024 has been released, I am going to try it out on 8.1

Mozilla just extended Firefox 115 ESR support for another 6 months. The official EOL is in March 2025 If it was 2018 and I'd be using XP/Vista at that time, this would have been great news (52.10, 52.11...) but both my 7 and 8.1 machines have the latest version (130) installed so I really don't care..

Actually, I got v2007 to run on Windows 7. I think compatibility was broken somewhere between v2008-v2011 since v2101 does not work. I haven‘t even tried Office 2021 or above. It‘s hard to find older preserved Microsoft 365 versions tbh
-
I am curious if someone has managed to get newer Microsoft 365 versions to run on Windows 7. Since v2002 is very outdated, I would like to know if newer versions could be ported back. On 8.1, support ended with v2301 but I managed to install the latest v2409 (beta) and except OneNote, all Office programs seem to work

Software compatible with Windows Vista Extended Kernel
yoltboy01 replied to WinClient5270's topic in Windows Vista
Latest Firefox works on Windows 7 with VxKex HOWEVER it crashes a lot, especially when you download a file. It works without any problems on Windows 8.1+ -
Yeah that's sad tbh. They could have supported 8.1 till 128 tho. The compatibility isn't broken

No (for the XP part): Install One Core API on XP if you want to use higher Firefox versions

Could the Next Firefox ESR Version Be Supported on Windows 7/8x ?
yoltboy01 replied to Jody Thornton's topic in Windows 8
I mean... even if they don't extend the "official" support, we have plenty of options for 7/8.1 As stated in many different posts, the latest Firefox (128 ESR!) works on both 7 and 8.1 with some modifications. Back in the days of XP/Vista this would have been great news, as there weren't any Extended Kernels for them in 2017/2018 but now that we have some projects that extend software support, I really do not care anymore about official EOLs. XP : OneCore API Vista: Extended Kernel 7: VxkEx 8.1: Mostly some tweaks to installers -
It would be a great decision if they would upgrade Windows 7/8.1 users to Firefox 128 ESR for another year (won't happen probably)
