Some years ago, user tomdkat posted a theme about “Question about Opera system requirements”, wondering why there is no info about the system requirements for any particular version of Opera browser (for desktop). On the last response, user blackbird71 provided an Opera link (https://www.opera.com/download/requirements/) that, for unknown reasons, is not provided by Opera, that allow us to know Only the system requirements for the Current version you can download at the well known download page (https://www.opera.com/download). The same user wondered why Opera doesn’t provide anywhere the system requirements for All the archived versions. At present, after a long-long, very long time deep search I couldn’t find anywhere at the Opera site a Response to this question. Does anyone know where we can find the system requirements for ALL the archived versions of Opera browser for desktop? The Reason to ask this is very well depicted by blackbird71: there are still users out there with old systems that might find the info useful (particularly the RAM and disk space requirements) - and it would be a one-time effort to publish it alongside to its download version. It’s really weird that we need to look at other websites to try find this information that we expect to find... on the developer’s website!

OK, they are unsupported but... they are still available to download, so to be used -even if unsupported- by anyone who wants to use them, right? There is no need to discuss why someone wants to continue using an older OS version, but for him/her, the use of the most recent version of Opera is out of question. Her/him needs an older version, and it’s not very practical to use the very, very old system of “download and error” (to paraphrase “trial and error”) to finally find what’s the latest version of Opera that can be used with that particular old OS version. It would be a very simple matter to add a simple NFO file alongside with every version on the repository, that provides this info. Not very complicated, but very useful, right? Let's also take into account the others my dear leocg, not only those that uses the newest things. Let's be inclusive!

@arturot It's not that they are available in the main Opera page, you need to know where to find them. So, you probably know what is needed to run those old versions.
You know, software companies don't exactly like people that use old versions, so why they make things easier for those people?
If someone wants to use an old version of any software, s/he should do it by itself and on her/his own risk, without expecting any support from the software makers.
