I am finding users with very old unsupported Windows versions. What versions of Windows does Discourse support (I cant find this info anywhere…)
Anything that can run:

So there’s no real list. That means I have to search what browser versions all the versions of Windows back to 7 support. I see. It would be handy if there was such a list.
There are browsers that work on Windows 7 and are supported by Discourse.

Which are not listed in the supported browsers list given here on Meta Discourse.
i’m fairly certain I remember either Firefox or the ESR release still having Windows 7 support. You should have no problem running Discourse on a Firefox ESR release.
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:
Given that Windows XP is turning 25 years old, and much older than Discourse itself, it is impressive that this is even possible.
Looks like Firefox 115 ESR is a good bet.
