(The fallback for those unable to run the new 5.0.x is 2.4.3, tested).

Laggy brushes, if large on big canvases). * Krita 5.1.0 (August 2021, tested, will open and run, as either installer or portable. * IrfanView 4.59 (tester in 64-bit, can also run some old 32-bit plugins such as Xero Lithograph) (tested) (note that lack of modern Windows 7 NVIDIA drivers for your older GPU may effectively put a cap on installing any later version, though 5.3 should run on Windows 7 even if you also have an old card running five year-old drivers) * Gigapixel AI version 5.3.0 is a good stable choice with four mature models including the Art model introduced in 5.3. I guess you test the trial version of 4.0 on Windows 7 and see. Mind you, they said ViewPoint 3 would not run on Windows 7 and yet it does.

ViewPoint 4 (Oct 2022) is said to be for Windows 10 and 11 only. (Tested, runs fine and fast, returns same-sized picture) Desktop version of the AI ‘old photo auto-colorizer’ by Jason Antic. * DeOldify.NET for Windows, April 2022, with AI model. * DAZ Studio 4.20.0.2 (tested, standalone 64-bit installer) * Corel Painter (failed, only 2021 or higher are versions worth having and yet none of these run properly on Windows 7) * Clarisse IFX 4.0 SP12 (tested, but installed due to its abysmally bad camera controls) (the latest 5.0 apparently became ‘Windows 10 only’). * Camtasia 2019.x.x (leading screen-recording software for tutorials etc, tested)


* Blender 3.1 on Windows 7 (untested, a special tweaked version for Win 7 users). * Blender 2.93 portable (vanilla, with a small workaround). * ArtRage ( some way back old version may work…?) (tested and failed, any recent version seems to fail at install – due to some component being detected as ‘unsigned’). * 3DCoat (all versions said to work on Windows 7, untested) If graphics/3D/DTP software is named here, assume that later versions could have problems installing and/or running on Windows 7. What is ‘the last good version’ of an item of creative software, on Windows 7 64-bit?
