> [!TIP]
> If you want to use Ghost-Downloader-3 on Windows 7, please download version `v3.8.0-Windows7`.- Open the Windows download section on the official website and check the currently listed Windows 7 compatible build.
Do Not Rely on latest release Alone
Windows 7 compatible packages do not necessarily track the latest release tag. Use the version explicitly listed in the README or on the website's Windows download section.
If you are on Windows 7, download the compatibility build explicitly listed by the README or website. If you are on Windows 10 or 11, use the regular Windows package from latest release.
