Renoise 3.5 on Windows 7/8

It was simpler than i thought. I’ve planned to mess around with CFF Explorer to change major and minor versions of the OS requirements. But solution was to just unpack installer with innoextract - A tool to unpack installers created by Inno Setup

innoextract.exe renoise.exe

It will unpack application to the App folder.

And now it doesn’t even require kernel extender and kick-starting in native 8.1 mode.

It’s required bump since improved multi-core performance in this update.

and yeah i am not going to win10 path in any case, because of how badly os is written. Recently i tested Optane p5800x drive and it’s latency was minimal on Windows 7, and atrociously bad on Windows 10

Also DPC in win10 is in bad shape too, so all-in-all it is a piece of crap. I don’t even mentioning win11. You can extrapolate the level of shitiness by yourself.
