Problem Description
Electron 19.0.6 (and the latest version as well) says it supports Windows 7 and up. However, when I check the dependencies, nodejs and libuv say it supports Windows 8 and up
- Electron 19.0.6 uses Node.js 16.14.2 - ref
- Node.js 16.14.2 uses libuv 1.43.0 - ref
- Node.js 16.14.2 supports Windows 8.1/2012 R2 - ref
- libuv 1.43.0 supports Windows >=8 ref
Therefore it is not clear whether Electron would run on Windows 7 without issues in future, even I confirmed it works on Windows 7 at this moment.
Proposed Solution
Review platform supports of all dependencies and update the supported platforms of Electron accordingly
Alternatives Considered
