Windows XP/Vista/7/8/32-bit Compatible Apps Available and Requested

I'm working on adding legacy builds of our officially-released apps that have dropped support for Windows XP, Vista, or 7 to the base app homepages. The goal is to make them easier to find for folks on legacy systems. I'm listing out completed packages and packages that are being researched and built below. The packages are designed to install alongside your main app installs and won't be updated to the latest version - breaking compatibility with your legacy OS - by the PA.c Platform. We don't need copies of any of the apps listed, thanks.

Outdated Official Portable Applications

Welcome to the PortableApps.com outdated apps tracker. Please post a comment for any outdated official apps that aren't already listed with AppName Version as the title (no dashes, Vs or other text). Before posting a request, please make sure that their stable Windows build is available and they have been announced by their publisher (just being available on a download/ftp server, github, or 3rd party site doesn't count as the app may not yet be official). Comments will be deleted as they are added.

Rufus Portable Is Grayed Out

Submitted by illyriad on January 6, 2025 - 7:34pm

I downloaded portable Rufus but when I go to use it the functions are grayed out and the Media Creation Tool I downloaded does not appear in the App. My laptop is an Acer Aspire E15 and my OS is Windows 10 Lite by Phoenix. I am trying to put Windows 10 22H2 back on my PC instead of the Phoenix App, but I cannot make the bootable USB with Rufus. Any ideas? Thanks.

Which distro for updateable apps?

Submitted by Vicinal on December 19, 2024 - 4:42am

Used Ubuntu for 2 years in late 2000s.

Eventually moved back since individual apps (Firefox, Chrome) couldn't receive feature updated outside the 6 month cycle, only security updates. I found that asinine.

Needs are basic, I live on the browser full time. Polish and eye candy preferred but not essential. Real time upstream apps are.

Also if anything is compatible with Snapdragon ARM chips, that would be nice

Thanks
