Can you play Halo game in Windows 7?

Yush, i just wondering that because Halo Wars 2 you can't play in Windows 7, it's request Windows 10 to play that. I have windows 10 but, because my friend have only Windows 7, i just wondering to ask, can he play this Halo game in Windows 7.

That's the big question isn't it. I personally highly doubt it what with them pulling the plug on Win7 support in less than a year. I'm just surprised the MCC collection wasn't exclusive to the windows store.

Yesterday DirectX12 was brought to Windows 7 through World of Warcraft for the first time and also seeing that the game is on Steam I think it's a good probability to be supported. The question is how will Xbox Live will be connected if it is.

Will probably not happen, but for this I would actually upgrade or dual boot.

Not to be that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but why not get 10? It was a free upgrade (not sure if it still is) but my game performance and system specs have increase overall from 7 substantially. 8 was bad, i skipped that one too except for my laptop, but for gaming 10 is the best version you can have bottom line.

-He din't get free upgrade because of "Cortana" windows spy, or what ever this call before. He was very worry about his private & he don't want to share anyting & collecting his information & windows 10 was a mess with that think but, anyway. It's not seem to worth to upgrade anyway.

-He didn't want to upgrade that anyway. Free or not. Because risk of private/information collecting. Let's just move on...

This is actually not true. The only reason the first-party Xbox games are gated to 10 is because they are trying to push their cross-buy app store crap.

Microsoft chooses not to implement DX12 in Windows 7 because they want to make people purchase (or switch to) Windows 10. Windows 7 is fully capable of supporting DX12. They're even pushing out some DX12 updates for certain games on Windows 7.

@Ecxerta The reason Microsoft was pushing and offering Win 10 for free, because YOU Are the product and they where selling your Personal info and habits.
