The day has come. It’s still possible to use Studio though. The only thing that changed is this blue banner telling you to upgrade.

I wonder if the client still works or not, including through bloxstrap since I’ve heard you could bypass the lock by launching the client through bloxstrap. I don’t have any Windows 7 device to test this on.

I’m still on Win7, might try that soon. Haven’t really played lately.

Well, looks like this day is the final day of Roblox Studio support on windows 7/8.1
I’m really sad, because I won’t be able to continue my projects and help my friends in team create works.
When I tried using VxKex on Roblox Studio, it bypasses/ignores the compability version.
As I think, what it is, Roblox focuses on windows build number (detects what system we are using) and doesn’t allow us to use it anyway, even with different version reporting.
It seems like we have finally reached that timeline, didn’t we?
It’s still unclear to me if the client is still supported or not though, including through third party launchers like Bloxstrap (I’ve heard it can bypass the restriction that prevents you from playing on Windows 7 and 8.x).

Yep. We turned on the active blocking in Studio installer and launch last week. As far as I know, client/player rolled this out in January.

Hey, so uh the active blocking you turned on
it detects windows 10 for some reason.
Even though i meet the minimum requirements.

microsoft kicked free upgrades to the curb late 2023, I haven’t been able to get using SLP activation to work since at least october last year with Windows 7 keys (last one that worked was reinstalling windows 10 on my main desktop due to software issues ~october last year)
hell you can’t even reinstall windows on those machines without it deactivating now, I didn’t find that out the hard way on my thinkpad

Surprisingly, there’s still many people stuck in Windows 10. My school computers are Windows 10, and many people who haven’t replaced their old computer yet are still there. If Windows 10 is gonna get sunsetted, it should be at least in 2030.

It’s currently working as designed with our new min spec of Win10 or greater, >3GB of RAM. Discussing with our engineering team about the RAM limit and if we should change that logic but there’s not a change pending yet.

It’s funny because I got around this for a couple of weeks until I got a better PC using a virtual machine to run Windows 10 on a Windows 8.1 pc that for some reason didn’t let me install Win10 on it…
So… I guess I defeated the system?
