I’m still thinking about it, sometimes consciousness prevails … I mean, let’s remain cautious with what we believe to be unlikely : after all a country has been invaded when no one would have bet it’d occur. I’ll need a sparing partner to discover a Linux ring. I’ll have to move on technologically speaking, unavoidable. Let’s face it : I did mention being lazy (anyway this so-called laziness to change which sometimes describes faithfulness, a certain conservatism) but I don’t have in mind I’m right.

To follow your suggestion, I’d install Linux (Mint) then run Win7 with a VM? If I choose Linux it’d be to use Linux and not have it serve the enemy :=) That’s old, younger than both of us, but old! A new PC is unavoidable. Windows 7 has been installed on this PC on what was then a new device. We’ll see, but the end is near and, to quote approximately Woody Allen, “Time flies, especially at the end”, though I’m referring more specifically to computer + OS (but not only, I’d be surrendering to the enemy, a farewell to arms? Maybe.įirst of all there’s not only the OS : the PC is old as well. To be totally frank I’d say that in the depths of my unconsciousness Windows 11 will be the one to honor my next PC. Should I be younger that I’d consider the challenge as exciting but seems I’m enduring an increasing cerebral laziness as years increment. I still don’t know but, given, 1- I’m not a techie and 2- whatever the huge differences between a Win7 and a Win11 … there are Microsoft standards which remain and to which i’ve been used to (Win 3.1 -> Win7). Linux? Once i’ll have decided to move on (new PC and new OS) it’ll be Win11 or Linux. What bothers me are two things : 1- updating device & peripherals (new OS), 2- getting used to the new OS (I have all to learn again). Installing “Windows 8.1 + Classic Shell which is superior to Windows 7 in every possible way” is perceived as the hassle of a new install of an old OS, whatver younger than Win7. “, because that’s near tomorrows, doesn’t thrill me.

Switching to 91 ESR, “though this one will be abandoned security-wise around the time of Firefox 104 or so” together with what you wrote in your answer above to user Anonymous, “Firefox will drop Windows 7 AND Windows 8.1 support sometime after January 2023.

A win-win for Heart, several opportunities indeed but remains the unavoidable : time, times bringing to its knees sooner or later obsolescence, that of the device (PC here), that of the OS, that of software (Firefox), and, moreover, all three tied.Ģ022 appears for users as myself (old PC, Windows7) as the limit. For instance, WireGuard (VPN protocol) for Windows initially refused to install without SHA-2 so I ended up discovering TunSafe which was even easier to use than WireGuard official.

Now if a program really insists on SHA-2 or nothing I’ll just find a portable version or an alternative.

I’m not too keen on updating my few remaining Win7 systems because the first time I installed the SHA-2 update it borked the bootloader which has never happened with any update before. Including both SHA-1 and SHA-2 signatures doesn’t hurt but whatever. “Weaknesses” in SHA-1 are greatly exaggerated as there has never been a practical exploit, and even if you could craft say, a malicious Firefox installer with the same hash as the official installer, it would be extremely difficult to get anyone to download and use it since everyone gets it from Mozilla’s site anyway, and all the common mirror sites get the binaries directly from Mozilla too. Any devices without SHA-2 support will not be able to install Windows updates on or after July 2019. Systems without the update may get Windows Update error 0x80092004 because of the missing dependency this may happen on manually updated systems.Ĭustomers who run legacy OS versions (Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2) are required to have SHA-2 code signing support installed on their devices to install updates released on or after July 2019. The last version of the update dates back to September 2019, and it should be installed on most Windows 7 devices by now, as it was released before the operating system reached end of support. The Windows update KB4474419 introduced support for SHA-2 code signing on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2. The update is a prerequisite for Firefox 100 as Mozilla switched to SHA-256 digest signing in that release.
Firefox users who run the open source web browser on Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system need to make sure that Windows update KB4474419 is installed on their devices.
