Nope.

> Microsoft stopped providing any sort of support for Windows 7 five years ago, so I think that Julia support will have to be “help yourself”. If you’re using juliaup it should be pretty easy to try different Julia versions though.

Which version of Julia is OK for Windows 7 x64?

Did you read the linked thread? Someone there claims 1.10.0 works on Windows 7.

EDIT: ~~I believe you _can_~~ (i.e. it’s easy enough check if it’s fails _at install_). Latest Julia’s (but I believe not Julia 1.10 LTS) will fail at runtime, but only for 1 function that I know of in libuv dependency, for sleep function I believe.
There are probably workarounds to fix that, or at least easy to implement. Also that function )or I would think other, if applies) will not fail silently. Also security features TLS/SSL will be outdated since Julia uses what the OS provides. There are also workarounds for that (see e.g. other thread about external software that Adds API to Windows itself, not Julia, from more recent Windows versions).
It’s not wise to install (at least non-LTS) on Windows 7 or other unsupported (then you need to test more…). Now that we have a commercial game written in Julia (on Steam, though not downloads enabled yet), or other compiled apps, I think we we do not want to be too restrictive, only document what’s not officially supported, even better, what fails, on older, and what’s the oldest Julia’s that work.
[Python does block install for e.g. Windows XP, if I recall, since it’s known to not work. They unsupports when Microsoft unsupports, but for new versions of Python only if I recall. I.e. older Python versions are supported for 5 years, on those unsupported Microsoft versions.]

Hello,
I tried to install the latest version of Julia but I got the following error:
Someone wants to learn Julia and I don’t think it matters much whether the version is new. Which version of Julia works on Windows 7 x64?
