Is Windows 7 no longer supported?

    Sorry can't find edit option so going to clarify here.

    I can no longer launch the game keep getting 2 specific errors.

    I have read elsewhere that windows 7 and 8 can no longer run ESO and we need to upgrade to a later OS.

    Is this the case?

    I don't have a specific answer as to whether something changed in the most recent update, but just FYI they updated the minimum requirements for ESO and dropped official support for Windows 7 in update 41.

    I was still running ESO fine until this update.

    Apparently one of the missing files cannot be run by windows 7.

    The OG release of ESO from 2014 in box that I still have, has the following minimal system requirements: Windows XP.....

    I do hope that "stop killing games" will be a thing one day.
