And when I bought this fine piece of sw, it supported win 7, 10 and 11. What happened to that?
I can not say if SF works or not on Windows 10. Technically it should, as Win10 is still being updated and supported.
I don't feel like trying my Win10 setup. I am waiting more and will either scrape the Win10 computer or look into upgrading using Rufus as explained below.
Note, that support WILL end on or before the end of the year, and many unwanted users are now upgrading to Win11.
Your choices are:
To make sure your Win10 computer has all current updates. (
Windows 10 2022 Update | Version 22H2) and keep checking for updates till none show.
Or
Get a VM setup with Win11Pro on Vbox or VMware Workstation \ VMware Workstation Player, through your Win10 computers.
Or
UPGRADE. I usually recommend using Rufus to make a USB to upgrade none compatible Win10 computers, as Rufus is FREE and very well known.(read about it

You can get the latest Win11 in ISO directly from Microsoft (

And if there is any software still supporting Windows 7 they should be ashamed as that OS was retired. And the same will happen with Win10 by the end of the year.
I can't say why some software still says or even tries to support Win7. And might as well get ready sooner than later for it to happen to Win10.
I am not happy with Win11 I see issues others see, but that's the way it goes unless you want to pay huge $$$$ for longer support for Win10.
And yes, then the software makers SHOULD make it clear when their software no longer supports Win10.
