Origin Bypass

[burd]

Hello, IT Seems That Origin has Stopped Support For XP and Vista and the minimum O/S requirement is now Windows 7 SP1 + , is there any way of bypassing this to install the latest versions of origin on vista?

Does this present a scenario where you had a perfectly working thing, then the software updated and now it says you can't use it?

No,I didnt have it installed before,but i recently read that most of the features arent available in the legacy versions of origin,so if theres a way to bypass the O/S check then maybe we can use origin with all the features again.

I think it depends on how Origin goes about determining which OS it is installed/running on. If no one knows how it is done, then you'd need to see what Origin does on both a compatible and non-compatible system with a debugger or Process Monitor. But I think such a thing as simple as that would fall under the "reverse engineer" prohibition on 1.A. of the Origin EULA:

So the only recourse would be to ask on an official EA or Origin forum.
