Sky Go not working on Windows 7.
Programme downloads ok, but error message says 'cannot connect'.
Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows 7 is well out of support and gets no new updates which leaves it vulnarable to exploits.
Maybe updating to W10 or W11 would be the best solution.

W10 is out of support next year and W11 does not work on some old hardware from back in the day like when W7 was released 😞
