What is important to highlight is that **Discourse doesn’t support any Windows version that Microsoft themselves don’t support**. With that out of the way, I have tested myself that users from Windows XP upwards can get it working with minimal effort by installing a modern browser fork: > [@Dropping iOS 15 & other old browsers in July 2025](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dropping-ios-15-other-old-browsers-in-july-2025/358131/127): > > Fun exercise I just did: Windows XP IE 6 gives a TLS error Same Windows XP using a browser that still supports it (Supermium) Given that Windows XP is turning 25 years old, and much older than Discourse itself, it is impressive that this is even possible. > [@Andro](#): > > That means I have to search what browser versions all the versions of Windows back to 7 support. > **[Firefox support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 | Firefox Help](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support)** > > Firefox version 115 ESR will be the last supported release for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Looks like Firefox 115 ESR is a good bet. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-versions-of-windows-are-supported/400384)._
