idbeholdME: What is that? An OCD where the patient feels an irresistible urge to play with yoyos during AM hours?
I think Darvond is trying to say
"Since W7 is unsupported, 'you're on your own'". In reality, there's zero difference as to how W7 downloads GOG games vs how it used to when it was "supported" or other "supported" OS's. Nothing about the HTML5 or CSS3 standards have changed for anyone, let alone been deprecated specifically for W7 users. The process of downloading a file is still the same for everyone. Every game that worked with W7 still does. Many new games listed "W10" only (purely because that's all the developer tested on) do work with W7 if they support at least one of Direct X5-11, OpenGL or Vulkan render API's. Microsoft's newest .NET 5 and Visual C++ 2022 redistributable dependencies actually do officially support W7 (even Vista). And the main thing that determines web compatibility (as in being able to access websites) is of course the web browser not the OS. And even after all that, W7 is actually still supported through to 2023 under ESU (Extended Security Updates) for which there seems to be an easy bypass available to anyone...
Ryan's post is short on details, but if he can't access the GOG site at all, eg, he's using an ancient default browser like IE8 (and assuming he posted his message perhaps on a second device because otherwise he obviously can log in to post here), the solution there is to upgrade the browser by installing something newer like Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi, etc. Other reasons could be making sure the firewall has an "allow" rule for his browser if he's set it to block by default and can't access the net at all. Beyond that he's going to have to give more details if he wants more help.
