=====Windows 7 Compatibility=====
Despite Windows 7 not NOT being officially supported/recommended, latest 1.7 dev version -WX versions of PCSX2 can work with a few workarounds<ref>https://i.imgur.com/BsFBw1w.png</ref>. You'll need:
* [https://pcsx2.github.ionet/downloads.html a 32bit version /#nightly-anchor latest nightly of PCSX2-WX]* [https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases dxvk] OR [https://reshade.me/ reshade]
For starters, extract PCSX2 in a folder and then extract the 32bit (x32)64bit dxvk: d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll OR Reshade: "reshade64.dll rename-> dxgi.dll" files next to the main executable.You'll also need to select [https://i.imgur.com/flxI0GH.png Cubeb] as the audio renderer, otherwise it'll crash with XAudio. And lastly, always pick between Vulkan, OpenGL and Software. D3D11 /D3D12 can crash on occasion and it won't be functioning as intended anyways.
''Don't expect any official support if you post logs that indicate you're using Win7.''
A pull request adding x86_64 support was opened on [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/3451 June 7, 2020], and both 32-bit and 64-bit builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux were first made available on [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/3451#issuecomment-653720205 July 4].<ref name="Reddit_1">{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/hkzzv2/pcsx2_now_has_a_64_bit_version/ |title=PCSX2 now has a 64 bit version |publisher=Reddit|accessdate=2020-07-06|date=2020 Jul 04}}</ref> The plan is to reduce so-called "technical debt", including game-specific hacks that cause accuracy issues and bugs in the 32-bit builds, as well as broaden support for more platforms and devices such as ARM64 chips.
A pull request removing x86 support was opened on [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/pull/5130 December 9, 2021]; and the last 32-bit build and first 64-bit-only build were made available on March 19, 2022.
