any way to play on windows 7 ?

[Beherit]

The game won't launch. I'm on windows 7.
I just reviewed the specs and noticed that Windows 10 seems to be a minimum.
Quite a setback.

If there's any way (other than upgrading to windows 10...) to play the game nonetheless ? I'd sure welcome it.

really? win10 was 2015 published!
win11 2021!
why win7 now! 🤷🏻

works great on windows 95

I would like a MS-DOS version.

Sadly not, only win10 and 11 =/

Now I have to play on my mom´s sh***y 14" laptop because my 17" gaming beast is (and will stay) Win7.
Or, I will try to setup a MacOS VM on the big boy and play from there.
Dorky workaround.

Is there a reason to hold on to Win7? End of Support was in January 2020. Not judging, but I'm really curious.

Resistance to planned obsolescence is generally seen as a pro-consumer stance, similar principle to "right to repair". Microsoft also made the claim that Win10 would be their final OS, to be updated as they develop further - this was not the case and we now have Win11.

I am using softwares really old that wont run on windows 10, I preffer windows 7, but I will have to update my windows just because I want to play it.

WHAT!? 139 USD? Thats the price of windows 10? Come on, Im on SouthAmerica, thats almost half of middle class salary, lol
To the one asking why windows 7? Maybe because not every human in this world have the same opportunities than you, probably??

You know that it is still possible to run a free upgrade to Win10 as a genuine owner of a Win7 or Win8 product key, right? And Win10, in opposition to Win11, runs on the same hardware as Win7 and Win8(.1). So there is no financial reason not to upgrade.

You expect everything to be supported on an EOL OS? That's odd.

Not a fan of telemetry. Not a fan of Microsoft telling me which updates I want to install and when I want to install them. Not a fan of build-in ads. Not a fan of my OS uninstalling my Paint 2D. Not a fan of "software as service".

I am using softwares really old that wont run on windows 10, I preffer windows 7, but I will have to update my windows just because I want to play it. Some of them made on the 90's. And my PC is not the best, I tried windows 10 before and I had enough issues to downgrade it. Just the fact of using windows 10 was enough to crash my computer, several times. I lost so much time and work because of using windows 10 on this computer, so much time... That blue screen was a real pain. There are more reasons.

Do what I did and just set it up as dual boot:

Yes there is a way! Install VxKex and enable it for Return to Monkey Island.
