The_smn	Have the developers stopped supporting Windows 7, 8 and 8.1? OK, but it seems like they didn't even bother to include a list of older versions of the app. Is it possible to upgrade to the latest supported version via the BYOND client? Upgrading Windows to 10 seems like a bad idea.

BYOND no longer appears to officially support Windows 7/8/8.1. But neither does Microsoft, who discontinued support for 8.1 in January 2023, over a year ago. Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 in October of 2025 as well.

If you're still running on Windows 7/8/8.1, the time to update has passed a long time ago.

If you're intent on continuing to use an unsupported operating system, you can download a version of BYOND that's compatible for you at https://www.byond.com/download/build/
