EA Desktop on Windows 7

There is unconfirmed information that support for windows 7 will be officially discontinued by Origin and EA desktop in the coming months.

This is due to the termination of support for win 7 by Microsoft.

Есть неподтвержденная информация, что поддержка windows 7 будет официально прекращена Origin и EA desktop в ближайшие месяцы.

Связано это с прекращением поддержки win 7 со стороны Microsoft.

No new software makes effort to support Windows 7 as it doesn't even receive security updates anymore. I highly doubt EA Desktop will make such efforts. 

Hey all,

We will release the official requirements at a later time.

I'm tired of hearing this BS about "security".

Origin and uPlay and Steam dropped XP support only in 2017-2018 - 16-17 years after release and 3-4 years after Microsoft ended support.

It's not about support, it's about how many people still using Win 7 and that # is at least 1/4. Much higher % is using 7 now, than there were XP users in 2012 (11 years after release).

For EA to drop Win7 support would be very bad for business.

Hello!

Do you remember you asked us about our ideas about Origin and I gave you a few? Are you going to implement them to EA Desktop?

There were a lot of them 🙂 I don't remember the full list. Maybe Tom will give us a link to these things 🙂

Hey folks!

We've captured a lot of feedback through Origin, and with the EA Desktop Beta so far.

Keep in mind for EA Desktop we're still in Beta, so we're not in a place where we can share a full list of features. Instead, we invite participants to try out the Beta, and to let us know how you like it, and what's missing for you!

Cheers,

Please have the EA Desktop app work for Windows 7, I am currently still on it and will be stuck with Win 7 until I get a new computer, so please make EA Desktop workable for Win 7 users until they can upgrade to Win 10.

I'm using Win 7 too. But I understand that it's time to get a new OS version.

Is EA agree to set some kind of transition period?
