Windows version information is not description + Windows 7 32bit support

[ruthan]

Hello,
there is missing info about which version numbers are supported.

I have Turing 5 inch screen and im trying to use it for retro machine with Windows 7 32bit.
Aida64 monitoring is not working with Windows 7, Turmo is not working with Windows 7.

I bough it with description that Windows 7, are supported, later it not worked i looked at alternative drivers link download and there was description that Windows 7 drivers are working only with 3.5 inch version.

So i came to this project as last chance and description is unclear, i can make Python working 3.8.

I have tried to download *.exe but it complains about 32 bit version of OS.

I dont understand why, this hardware just need to set few bites over USB port to device, so it work fine with 32bit OS, it does not use any 64bit only features.

If you have a 32-bit Windows, it is possible that LibreHardwareMonitor is not compatible. Try to use "Python libraries" as Hardware Monitoring

Hi, thanks for reply, could be some details what use Python libraries mean? What to do from the start to end? What about Windows 7 64bit, its tested?

It is hard to know because this project has never been tested on Windows 7 so I can't tell if it will work or not

The support of Python 3.8 has been removed last year so if you want to use Python 3.8 (which is the latest version available for Windows 7) then you can only use Release 3.7.0 of this project

Download source-code for release 3.7.0 and follow this guide: Linux, macOS, Windows (developer mode): manual installation

Well 3.8 is still should be supported, XP was is not supported by 3.8:

see here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ scroll down to 3.8
it should just need windows 7 sp1 + kb2533625 - which was superseeded by KB3063858, which still has 32bit / 64bit variant, its downloadable here:

Its quite easy to install Windows 7 SP1 32 bit, virtual machine and pass through USB device to it in Vmware workstation is now free for non commercial use.. You download iso boot from it start installation and left to process in background.. after its a few minutes to set it up, like write username, hostname, password.. USB pass through is a few click too..
Connect USB device, have virtual running, select in dialog pass through USB device to Virtual machine, instead of physical one.
