Can't use Opera on Windows 7?

Opera no longer supports Windows 7, which is likely why you’re having trouble using it. As for accessing documents from your past Opera use, you might be able to retrieve them if they were saved locally or synced to an Opera account. If they were synced, try logging into your Opera account on a supported device.

@pkpetr Opera stopped supporting Windows 7 a while ago, but you can still keep using Opera up to version 95.

The developer may have updated Opera for Windows 7.

@vasyag19 I don't think it will get any updates.

However, please note that even now, having downloaded Opera in Chrome, the OS is still Windows 7. So will it work???

@pkpetr Unless you updated your system to Windows 10/11 or install a different OS, like Linux for example, you still will be using Windows 7.

@leocg Yes, I will still be using Windows7, so my Opera in Chrome will not work, right? My only question is how I can get a specific document from my previous Opera in Windows7.

@pkpetr There is no Opera in Chrome. Opera will work if you install version 95 .

@pkpetr But what kind of document? It's a web site?

@pkpetr There seems to be some language confusion occurring. When you earlier said "Chrome Opera", what exactly did you mean? Is that an Opera version installed on a Chromebook device? Or is it some chromium-based version of Opera you installed on the Windows 7 device? Several years ago, Opera switched over to a chromium-based design. Before that (during the main Windows 7 era), Opera was a Presto-based design. The design differences are important regarding where different things are saved in each version.

Also, when you said you want to get a "document from my previous Opera in Windows" and later said "it is a web site", do you mean a website that hosts the document or are you talking about a document you earlier downloaded in Opera from a website? Approximately how long ago did you last successfully access the 'document' you mention?

How long ago? But obviously when Opera could still be used in Windows7.

Because Opera does not work now with Windows 7.
