Windows 7 and DW 7.3 cloud upgrade

I have had some anxious users ask about using their Windows 7 machines after their cloud system gets upgraded to 7.3 and receiving this notification:

System Requirements DocuWare Version 7.3

Compared to DocuWare Version 7.2, the system requirements have changed as follows:

• Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 are no longer supported as operating systems

Best regards
Your DocuWare Cloud Team

Is this in reference to client machines as well? I had always assumed this was in reference to installing as a server. Can we not install 7.3 Desktop Apps on Windows 7? Is it not still possible to use a browser on a Win 7 machine to login as a client to a 7.3 cloud system?

yes this will effect the end users running windows 7 and the desktop apps. if you try to install 7.3 desktop apps on a windows 7 machine you will get an error saying desktop apps cannot connect

Thank you Christopher for that info.

Can I assume that a Windows 7 machine running IE11 will still be able to use the browser client as before, including responding to a Workflow Task link?
