Downloaded app and it says I need Windows 10 to run it....
I have Windows 7 Pro.
I copied it over to my Oracle VM VirtualBox that I have Windows 10 installed on and it says not comparable....

I will stay with Windows 7 on my desktop pc.
I have 2 laptops with Windows 10 on it so will run the app on those later.

My motherboard has TPM 2.0 but needs to be enabled in the bios.

How to Check If Your Computer Has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Chip

You also need to check the CPU.
Mine is not listed.

My Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H motherboard does not have TPM 2.0
I need to add a chip which is $49.95
Just plug into the motherboard.

Then it needs to be enabled in the bios. I still won’t know if I can install Windows 11 as the Intel i5 4690k cpu may not be supported....

I have Windows 7 pro on the 6 year old desktop pc and the pc is fast. I have a SSD and 32gbs of memory. No need to upgrade.

Microsoft and those that make software will block you from using Windows 7. There already is software I cannot use now unless I upgrade to Windows 10 which I do not like as it is spyware plus the lack of ease of customization. I figure I have to use 3rd party tools to do so.
