Beginning 1/14/2020, we will officially stop supporting the Rift platform on Windows 7 and 8.1 to align with Microsoft’s announcement of ending support for Windows 7. As previously announced in June 2018, Windows 10 is now the minimum required operating system spec for the Rift platform and we encourage everyone who isn’t already running Windows 10 to upgrade. Windows 10 will enable us to deliver the best performance and latest advancements, while aligning with industry standards.
