Even as it holds absolutely no interest to me and I will never use it you have a good point,voted.

This is bullshit.
I don't use Win 7 anymore, but know a lot of people which aren't interested in updating their OS.
Fix this, gog... =/
Voted.

Details, please. Anyone can say something like that. Please back it up with something. An explanation, a link, whatever.

Also, Windows 7 left mainstream support last year.

extended support is until 2020 and that's just microsoft. it'd be nonsense if gog abandoned windows 7.

Is this true? It seems absurd to me..
Please tell me that it's bullshit, because I'm never going to update to Win10.

Is it not working anymore or is the support for Windows 7 planned to be dropped?

IF it is the former then that is not true since I just booted it up on my current machine running Windows 7.

The OP/wishlist creator was (intentionally?) vague about it, but I presume this is about Galaxy not working/installing correctly if you haven't allowed Windows 7 to install some Microsoft updates. Ones that the OP doesn't want to install, e.g. if they are related to the "Hey you! Upgrade to Windows 10 now, or else!"-notifications that we Windows 7 users get ten times a day, or that telemetry thing or something.

Is this in fact the same guy who complained something not working if you haven't installed Service Pack 1 to Windows 7?

I'm not currently using Galaxy so I don't know how it works in Windows 7, but if it didn't work at all there, then I presume there would have been a muuuuuch bigger ruckus about it already.

People could at least bother to install their updates.

I really don't get how in this day and age, people still haven't figured out the importance of checking their updates.

Of course that probably is why Windows 10 basically said, "Fine, if you can't be trusted to keep your system shots up to date, we'll do it for you."

I recently noticed someone had their computer set to download but notify before installing.
They were missing 150+ updates. >_<

It actually is the same reason they force updates on you now. Explained as decreasing vectors for attacks and breaches. FOrtunately you can use gpedit in pro-version of 10 to fine-tune updating settings.

Galaxy doesnt work correctly on pre SP1 Windows 7. So the one who did the Wishlist is a dumbass as pre-SP1 7 is EOL. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle

It works correctly on 7 Professional SP1. Also on computers in domains. So that's that.
