but it can't use Win 11 because of the security crap it insists on

let ME decide if i want the extra level of security.
All Win 11 is a way for them to make everyone buy new stuff

Hi Andy,
You are causing a lot of confusion with such half-baked
statements. Like always, and for good reasons, the Windows
installation packages for all WSJT-X Improved versions are
being created using Qt 5.12.12. This gives the best possible
backwards compatibility (down to Windows 7), as well as the
rest results in terms of rendering the various controls (also
when Dark Style is enabled). This tool chain has not been
changed over the past months.
As you know, we've spent many days of work trying to help you
with your "special" setup on an old Windows 8.1. system. During
these tests, you confirmed that all is working well on your
Windows 10 computer. And no one else has ever reported similar
issues than you with your setup.
Please do me a favor and stop confusing others. If you don't
understand why we invest months of work to offer a data set for
Qt6 in addition to the existing Qt5 source code, then any
further discussion about it here is not worthwhile anyway.
Other OMs who know what this is for are very grateful for this
work. And if at some point in the future you should buy more
modern equipment (maybe even Linux-based), then you will be
grateful to us one day why we were so wise and foresighted in
2024 and 2025 to develop the necessary source code for it and
keep it up to date.
73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe

"Both Windows 7 or 8.x version support will not be available
for Qt 6. Microsoft discontinued the support for both Windows
versions some time ago, and as a vendor, we can no longer
maintain support for these windows versions in Qt 6. Windows 7
(both 32bit and 64bit) was supported as a target in Qt 5.15
LTS and Windows 8.1 (both 32bit and 64bit) as a target in Qt
5.12 LTS. This means that we will not have 32bit Windows
support available. Additionally, it will no longer be possible
to create UWP applications on Windows 10."

I have found that 2.8.0 improved is not compatible with Win
8.1 and no one has said that it works for them.
Should the WSJT-X Windows compatibility statement be revised?
It currently states - " (Windows 7 and later)" which was true
for 2.7.0 but may not be true if later official releases use Qt6.
