Am I correct about the following details:

-One, V. 95 was the last one with Win 7 support? (since V. 96 was not available for Win 7 install).

-Two, Opera 96 will, simply put, not install when using Win 7.

@leocg

Am I correct then that V. 95 was the last one with Win 7 support? (since V. 96 was not available for Win 7 install)

@leocg

What OS(es) did Version 96 support then?

@leocg

'You lost me.'

What does 'It stopped being supported in version 96. In version 95, Windows 7 is still supported' mean?

Version: 95.0.4635.90 was the 'last' version for Win 7.

Therefore, are you stating that:

-One, this version was the last one supported by Win 7?

-Two, Version 96 was not available for Win 7 so, consequently, it was not supported?

@leocg

I 'think' that you meant to type 'Windows 7 stopped being supported in version *95.'

As mentioned, my version is 95.0.4635.90.

*What do you mean that 'only current versions are supported?' Are you referring to updates that fix bugs and glitches?

@leocg

Thank you for the response.

Yes, I am aware that my version is an older one and, further, that the most recent update for Windows 7 was Version 95 (released in October 2023).

Firefox continues to have an 'Extended Service Release'-Did Opera Developers ever get around to creating an equivalent for Win 7 users?

*Additionally, there is no 'X' (in the top right corner) 'or' vertical scrolling bar on the right side, when viewing Yelp Reviews either.

Version: 95.0.4635.90

I 'might' be missing a detail but there is no 'X,' (in the top right corner) 'or' vertical scrolling bar on the right side, when viewing Google Reviews.

Thx.

@leocg

I listed it in my initial post: 95.0.4635.90.

It does not make sense that I would be instructed to 'refresh' O weekly 'unless' an update 'of some form' took place.

From memory, the '95' did not change but the '4653.90' portion did so.

@leocg

As mentioned, as recent as a week ago, after clicking 'Menu->About Opera,' an install occurred, and, consequently, I was instructed to restart Opera.

'Again,' I ask: Since Firefox uses an 'ESR,' does Opera have one as well (or an equivalent?).

If someone' can find out and update this post, all of us would appreciate it.

@leocg

I understand now about Auto Updates.

@leocg

Q: Am I correct that, within Settings, there is no option to disable the software from automatically checking for updates?'

A:

@sgunhouse

I should have been clear that I am running Win 7.

However, I am still able to 'manually' check (and install) updates though.

What is being 'updated' then? Firefox has an 'Extended Service Release'-Does Opera have an equivalent for Win 7 users?

Oh-You are a Tester.

@sgunhouse

Opera updates automatically as well but, that stated, each morning I still click 'Help->About Opera' in order to check for updates manually.

Q: What version do you have?

A:

Q: Are software updates enabled automatically by default?

Q: Is there a way to disable the software from automatically checking for updates?

A:

Version: 95.0.4635.90

Hello.

I am 'likely' missing a detail so, consequently, I would like someone to explain it to me.

Every morning, I check for updates manually to ensure that the latest version is installed.

However, when I click on the Browser Red Menu Button, 'Get 'The Latest Security Update' is listed with a red dot.

When it is clicked, it states ''Download Opera Browser,' and a 'See More' link, with a 'Opera Browser For Windows' option.

Please answer each question separately:

Q: Since the browser has the capacity to 'check for updates,' why is there an option to download the software again?

A:

Q: When cookies are cleared and the browser is closed and reopened, one, the Browser Menu Button is no longer Red and, two, the 'Get The Latest Security Update' Message is not longer listed. Why is that?

A:

@leocg

Thx.
