    Wasn't it half way through last year that the minimum spec changed to win 10?

    Yeah, this is from the Update 41 patch notes (March, 2024):

    Bummer, but there's been quite a lot of warning.

    Windows 7 launched in 2009, the PS3/XBox 360 generation which ESO never released on. I'm surprised it lasted this long for you despite them discontinuing support. Quite the miracle all things considered.

    Yeah although development started in late 2000s, it is interesting. They released a patch on forums to make the main client work recently, but they've given up then. Fair enough. They changed DX requirements and ended 32bit support over time. I used to be able to play the game really comfortably on my old i5 2500K's *BUILT IN* GPU.

    Yeah, main current client has been working because they released a fix on forums. Wasn't sure if that was a temporary thing or not.
