Does the rest of your system match the requirements? BM is not alone in removing support for Win7. Avid have done the same, and I'm sure others will follow.
A lot of people around me (including some companies), one day suddenly found the computer automatically restart, then automatically enter the Win10 installation process.
Some people will receive whether to upgrade to win10 dialog, you click "cancel", the system immediately began to upgrade! this is one of the trick that Microsoft cheated users to upgrade.
Microsoft also continued to release fake information to the public that win10 is more secure and stable than win7, win7 doesn't support the latest cpu and so on. It seems that you do not upgrade your computer will be void. They lie!
Microsoft claims in 2015: Free upgrade to win10 in one year. even pirated win7 can be upgraded to legitimate win10. however, a year later, Microsoft also find reasons to continue to provide free upgrades, this situation occurs several times. why? Because most people do not want to upgrade, even if free! In my country, pirated software is everywhere, if win10 is a good system, almost everyone will take the initiative to install. but the opposite is true.
All of these enforcement and fakement created the number of win10 users today. this has created a situation: more and more win10 users, we must attach importance to win10. and that's exactly what companies like Blackmagic do.
