Hello, I am sad to discover this Announcement: Dropping support for Python 3.8

This will increase the minimum required Windows version to Windows 8; the yt-dlp release executables will no longer support Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will need to consider alternative options such as @nicolaasjan's unofficial builds if upgrading your operating system is not possible.

is Ytdlp-interface going to drop the 32-bit version for windows 7 os?

we hope that windows7 os will continue to be supported please! I use windows 7 and probably many people still have old laptops that are still functional, thank you!

I've added experimental support for Windows 7 in v2.15, download ytdlp-interface_x86_win7.7z if you're using 32 bit Win7, and let me know how it works.
