As of March 15th, 2024, Discord will no longer be supported on Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1.
This change is in line with both Chromium’s deprecation policy as well as Microsoft’s end of support for Windows 7 ESU and Windows 8.1 extended support on January 10, 2024.
To continue receiving updates and support for your Discord client, you must upgrade to at least Windows 10.
