I just noticed on the electrum website (
https://electrum.org/#home ), that there is an issue with wallet that is older than 3.0.6 version.
I downloaded the 3.0.6 version. That version does NOT function on my laptop w/OS Vista. Nor does it work on my HP laptop w/OS Windows 8.1
Question: What OS will support the new Electrum Wallet version 3.0.6 ?
If I translate correct from the Electrum website correctly. Did it indicate that if I must use an older version than 3.0.6 that it would be ok, as long
as when I use it, that I am offline, and as long as I have some type of password associated with it???
All version of electrum lower than 3.0.6 have some vulnerabilities so it is better to use the latest one. I am able to install/run the latest version of electrum (3.0.6) in my old laptop with a windows 7 OS without any problem, they have linux, windows, android, OSX version so it should work with older windows OS too. Try to update your OS (if possible) with the KB2999226 Windows update that is stated on their website download page, which is required to do if you use older windows OS. But the best thing to do is just install windows 10 because older windows versions don't have any system updates anymore which means that the security is not that strong.
