Support for older versions of Windows

From v3.36 and above (late May 2024), the Global Model Workstation requires Windows 10 or later.

If you use Windows 7 or 8, we can provide you with the previous version, v3.35, but there are some caveats:

older versions of Windows will not receive security updates and we therefore recommend strongly that you upgrade to Windows 10 or later for general security reasons
GMW v3.35 contains a known critical vulnerability. Practically, users of v3.35 are not expected to have any exposure to the vulnerability because GMW must visit a malicious URL to be exploited, and GMW has access only to an extremely limited, trusted set of URLs. However, your IT team may flag GMW v3.35 as unsafe due to the presence of the vulnerable software component

With these warnings in mind, if you still require a version of GMW for Windows 7 or 8, please contact Oxford Economics Support.
