We all know that Windows 7 has been phased out by Microsoft. That said, there are many computers that continue to operate under Windows 7 Pro. PRACTICALLY EVERY HOSPITAL COMPUTER STILL RUNS ON WINDOWS 7 PRO. These computers still get security updates, furnished by a 3rd party. They run programs and databases which are custom designed for the medical field, and there is no reason to upgrade them. Example... University of Michigan Hospital, with Patient Portals, Kellogg Eye Center, U of M Flint. They can't afford to replace 1200+ computers with new ones running Win 10, which is basically a gaming upgrade to Win7Pro. Most of these computers have less than 8G ram. Have you tried to run Windows 10 on 2G ram? I'm getting carried away. Really, the main point I want to make is that some of us don't have the authority to change our operating system, so we're stuck with 7 pro.

I'm using OBS 27.0.1 on Windows 7 no prob... but I don't stream. Also the VirtualCam plugin works. On a related note using blender 2.93 when they said it couldn't be done (sort of). Downloaded the portable zip files for blender and OBS, because installers scare me. My computer is 2010 desktop (HP Pavilion) AMD Phenom II X4 blah blah, updated graphics card and ssd. Still very usable. Never been hacked but backup entire drive image every now and then.

Yeah, I saw it had some age. But Apr of 2021 was latest I think. And both OBS and blender versions I mentioned are recent releases.

It may still work, but is officially unsupported since Win7 is now end-of-life. So if you run into any problems, you're on your own.

I'm using OBS 27.2.4 on Windows 7. The current version 28 doesn't work for this machine. I got the old version from FossHub.

Don't download from 3rd party sites, if you can have the original download. The last version of OBS supporting Windows 7 is 27.2.4, and the official download location is this:
