The challenge may be to not get entangled in Microsoft's marketing hooey, and insure the best empowerment of Calibre Ebook users.Ĭalibre Ebook v4 works no problem on Windows 7. Calibre Ebook is tested on, and supports, Microsoft-publicly-supported Windows versions ( at the moment, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 ), so if the current Calibre Ebook v4 program misbehaves for you on another version of Windows, you can downgrade to a prior version of Calibre Ebook v3 without risk to your library by downloading from here. Yet, Calibre v4 is from October 2019, when Windows 7 was unquestionably extant, still being sold new by Dell, Microcenter, and others.Īnd yet, Microsoft declared Windows 8 unsupported way back in January 2016. However, Windows 7 is still supported ( by Microsoft, I presume you mean ), up to January 2023 as of this moment, even though Microsoft marketing had a big ". I imagine that Calibre v3 was the release that was last intentionally supportive of Windows 7. Hi Kovid Goyal, so pleased to meet you, and thank you for your unique, inventive, savvy, and powerful work creating your ebook and library management program.Īhh, your comment explains part of why the Calibre Ebook download_windows64 page mentions only Windows 8 and 10 as currently supported by Calibre v4. If it works for you on windows 7, good for you, enjoy. I dont support end-of-lifed operating systems.
I would suggest working on your Google-fu. As phrased by diapdealer, "I use Arch Linux, and the cutoff age of video-cards that are falling into legacy-driver support is getting much closer to yesterday than it is to last year". BTW, this is not unique to Windows 7 as several Linux users have reported similar issues along with at least one Windows 10 user whose problem went away when he updated his video driver. A couple of threads to take a look at: Having trouble with Calibre not opening, Viewer displays nothing when loading any book from my database, Calibre on Windows 7, almost endlessly etc. If you looked at the calibre thread, you would have found quite a few mentions of issues with calibre 4 and Windows 7 video drivers. Thanks for any insight ( I could not find any thread explaining this when searching here, so if someone knows of an existing thread, or a way to find it, please share - thanks ). Why, when Celibre 4 works fine on Windows 7? I've been updating version to version and never noticed that the front page says Calibre 4 is for Windows 8 and 10, but to use Calibre 3 for Windows 7. Calibre 4 for Windows 7 seems fine, why front page says no?
