Compatibility
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on [April 8th, 2014](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/end-of-xp-support),
|
|
an OS initially released in 2001. This means that not even critical security
|
|
updates will be released anymore. Without security updates, using a bitcoin
|
|
wallet on a XP machine is irresponsible at least.
|
|
|
|
In addition to that, with 0.12.x there have been varied reports of Bitcoin Core
|
|
randomly crashing on Windows XP. It is [not clear](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7681#issuecomment-217439891)
|
|
what the source of these crashes is, but it is likely that upstream
|
|
libraries such as Qt are no longer being tested on XP.
|
|
|
|
We do not have time nor resources to provide support for an OS that is
|
|
end-of-life. From 0.13.0 on, Windows XP is no longer supported. Users are
|
|
suggested to upgrade to a newer verion of Windows, or install an alternative OS
|
|
that is supported.
|
|
|
|
No attempt is made to prevent installing or running the software on Windows XP,
|
|
you can still do so at your own risk, but do not expect it to work: do not
|
|
report issues about Windows XP to the issue tracker.
