Windows 7 Version?

On the main Jami site, it says

If you use an older Windows version (e.g. Windows 7, 8, or 8.1) and are unable to switch to Windows 10 or later at this point, you can download older versions of Jami from the archive, but please note that the Jami team is unable to provide support for them.

However, as far as I can tell, that it not true. I have seen official Jami responses to that that it’s not supported and that’s fine, but SURELY someone HAS to have an old installer laying around that they can share.

I am trying to set something up that EVERYONE can use and I have people who run Windows 10, Windows 7, Android, iOS and Linux. This looks like a good program, but unless I can set it up on ALL of the systems, it’s worthless to me.

I would really appreciate any help here. Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback. Jami is built with software libraries that are supported only in Windows 10 and later. Unfortunately older versions of Windows are no longer supported so Jami for Windows 7 & 8 installers have been removed from the archive. The website has just been updated accordingly to prevent further confusion.

The Windows 7 device is no longer supported and has security issues.

Is the Windows 7 device using a 32-bit or 64-bit CPU?

Jami only runs on 64-bit hardware and operating systems.

After reformatting old Windows 7 computers with Linux Mint Cinnamon, they run better.

I am pretty sure that it is a 64 bit system, but I will have to check at the shop Monday. If I HAVE to upgrade her system to use anything, it will be to linux, which is what the rest of our systems run. I was just hoping that someone might have an old version laying around. I get that it’s not “supported.” I’m willing to take that risk myself i fI can find an old installer. If it works… great. If not… meh… never hurts to try ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Qt 6.0 was released on December 08, 2020:

Some of the recorded improvements in Jami are shown in the changelog:

Don’t spend your time with an unsupported and insecure version of Windows. It is better to invest your time in setting up a supported version of Linux and then enjoy all the benefits of the latest version of Jami.

Instructions to set up the latest version of Jami are available at:
