burd Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hello, IT Seems That Origin has Stopped Support For XP and Vista and the minimum O/S requirement is now Windows 7 SP1 + , is there any way of bypassing this to install the latest versions of origin on vista?https://www.origin.com/us/en-us/store/download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Does this present a scenario where you had a perfectly working thing, then the software updated and now it says you can't use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,I didnt have it installed before,but i recently read that most of the features arent available in the legacy versions of origin,so if theres a way to bypass the O/S check then maybe we can use origin with all the features again.

Tripredacus Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think it depends on how Origin goes about determining which OS it is installed/running on. If no one knows how it is done, then you'd need to see what Origin does on both a compatible and non-compatible system with a debugger or Process Monitor. But I think such a thing as simple as that would fall under the "reverse engineer" prohibition on 1.A. of the Origin EULA: http://eacom.s3.amazonaws.com/EULA_Origin_EN-ROW_PC_5.26.16.pdf So the only recourse would be to ask on an official EA or Origin forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
