Imatch 2021 on Windows 8.1

[kch]

Hi Folks,

as stated in the "Hardware and Software Requirements" for Imatch 2021 (https://www.photools.com/hardware-software-requirements/), Windows 10 64bit is mandatory for running the software.

I'm wondering if despite of that Windows 8.1 is also eligible for the newest version of Imatch? Did anybody try it out yet? Version 2020.14.2 runs flawlessly anyway.

Thank you! -Kay

I don't officially support (nor have) Windows 7 or Windows 8 anymore.
Less than 0.5% of the IMatch user base (the last time I've checked the telemetry data) uses a Windows version other than Windows 10.
It just makes no sense to invest time (and money) in testing and supporting legacy Windows versions.
I don't to anything active to make IMatch not work on W7/W8, but neither do the 3rd party toolkit vendors support it anymore nor Microsoft.

Microsoft ended support for Windows 8 in January 2016 and for 8.1 in January 2018.
