| Risk | Explanation | |------|-------------| | Unpatched OS | Windows 7 has known remote code execution exploits. | | Browser isolation bypass | Malware on the host OS can read Tor Browser’s memory. | | No official Tor support | Tor Browser 12.0+ requires 64-bit Windows 7/8/10/11. | | Certificate/TLS issues | Old root certificates may break HTTPS. |

While you can technically install on Windows 7 32-bit, you are not getting a "full" or "secure" experience. You are running an outdated browser on an unpatched operating system.

: If your network censors Tor, use the built-in "Bridges" setting during the initial setup to connect .
