On May 1, 2021, NI software will drop support for Microsoft Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), Windows 8.1 (32- and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, and all 32-bit Windows operating systems. NI hardware and software released after May 1, 2021, will not install or execute correctly on those operating systems.
If you were planning to use LabVIEW or the driver station on Windows 7 or on a 32 bit computer (such as the original classmate), now is the time to upgrade so you’re ready for the 2022 software. As a reminder, Windows 7 support from Microsoft ended almost 2 years ago, so you’re taking significant risks with any internet connected Windows 7 computer.
