I don't believe you sound combative, but there are a lot of us jaws users

don't feel the need to advance like you tech folks, but all of us are so
glad yall are here, onlist, when something is more than we know, so thank

Hello,
Keep in mind, Windows 7 is only one version away from Vista and Vista is
considered a fossil at this point. In training clients, it is unfortunate to
have clients who have held on to old technology until the point that their
skills start to become antiquated and dated. Technology is like a steam
roller, if we don't stay ahead of it, it will run us right over without a
second thought.
When I hear people talking about old OS operating systems, they might as
well be talking about XP. Sorry to sound perhaps rough, but with all of the
updates to 10, 7 is pretty much like XP at this point. Microsoft has already
warned users that the security architecture for Windows 7 is extremely
vulnerable and open to many types of risks, and they dropped a significant
amount of support for it back in 2013. It will lose all support in 2020 and
if one is using Windows 7 or Internet Explorer, you are falling behind the
train.
I am not trying to start a debate, and hope that my words don't come across
as combative, just putting this out there so it doesn't come back to be a
thorn in anyone's side.

Hi,
This is because the underlying technology is only available on Windows 8 and
10, similar to complete touchscreen support. Screen Shade cannot be
backported to Windows 7 (might be, but it is both difficult and as Win7 is
in security maintenance mode at this time).
Cheers,
Joseph

I'm disappointed to see the screen shade is for windows 8 and 10 and that
you didn't include windows7.
