I must add that if H6 does not work with Windows-7 Steinberg will be missing out on a lot of income.
I agree. and Iām still trying to find the pre announcement from Steinberg where Win7-64 bit is no longer supported ??? - maybe there was one, and I missed it.!!

Strangeā¦ how Cubase9 was only just release, not too long ago : and Win7-64bit seems to be a valid platform on their system requirements : https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/cubase/resources.html
H6 not tested on win7 ? It is really strange. Most common system at the moment in the world.
10 oĀ“clock and still nothing new on the Steinberg-homepage 
damn, IĀ“m at home, Telekom upgraded February my internet to highest speed and SB doesnĀ“t come around 
The VST instrument department usually drops the motherload in the afternoon CET (GMT+1).
buuhhhh
Downloading right now 
+/- 28Gb, have to be patient 
Pretty much everything that works with Windows 8 also works with Win7.
I hope so.
Steinberg actually stating that Win-7 is no longer supported is putting people off.
I was intending to buy H6 today, but now I will have to wait until the trial version appears so that I can test it.
@Steinberg - Will Halion-6 function correctly with Windows-7 or not?
regarding W7 support
+1
Other question: Overwrite HAL 6 Update HAL5 installation?
Yes. It overwrites.
I allmost wanted to buy Halion 6, until
i saw Halion 6 only support Windows
8/10.
I dont have the money for both Halion
6 upgrade and Windows 10 proffesional!
(just bougt a expensive audio interface
for Ipad air, he he).
One can asume that Halion 6 will work
with windows 7 64 bit, but that we donāt know yet for shure!.
I still love Windows 7 , just a habit actually.
I heart so much positive about windows
10, shure i want to buy it very soon,
if my āoldā windows pc (icore 2600k, 7, 3.6ghz, 24gb ddr3 1333mhz) can take it.
There was something about the bios has to support Windows 10!.
The bios need to have UEFI, Execute Disable Bit, Secure Boot!.
My Bios only have UEFI!
Upgrading to a new motherboard,
its a bad thing for me, at this point,
because iāve need allso to change
my ram to ddr4 and properly allso
my cpu to skylake cpu!.
Eventually this will cost me a fortune!.
God damn it!.
Later on i will properly change every thing!
Another thing is, updating my Mac mini
2012 OS (yosmite!) to Sierra is a really
a bad choice!
I heart so much negative about Mac user complaining about Sierra!
What i heart is, that this Sierra is
totally crap!
That means one thing, NO SIERRA!
Got my Halion 6 update from 5 today and am using the Download Assistant for the first time. Why is it so slow? Itās going to take a week at this rate, been downloading for half an hour and only at 300mb out of 28.18Gb.
I could have downloaded that in a few minutes without the Assistant.
This is rediculous, can I not get the download link direct and download it with my own manager which does the same job as the Steinberg one but at normal download speed.
UPDATE:
The Download Assistant worked a lot better after a reboot, I guess installation tied up resources and slowed it down. Still not as fast as my own Download Manager but acceptable.
seems only be a problem at your side
IĀ“ve heard from more other users and can confirm from my side as well: full 48-50Mbit speed the whole download-time!
so donĀ“t blame Steinberg, blame your telecomunication-partner
Using the download assistant (without aria2), I downloaded it in 1-2 hours.
The SB server could be really busy now thoughā¦
I find it really frustrating that something as basic as Win7 support isnāt standard, considering itās still so widely used. I was going to buy Halion 6 this evening but this has put me off. Stupid on the part of Steinberg and theyāve created an issue when there really shouldnāt have been one!!
Has anyone installed on windows 7? I do not know whether to buy the upgradeā¦
yep, and it is working
To roel.
Could you please give some more details
about you win7!.
Servicepack 2?!.
Allso, if you have time, could you please
try out wavetable, sampling, sound editting,
just a tiny bit, just to see if Halion 6 work
properly under windows 7!.
Does anyone in this forum, have time to
try Halion 6 with windows 7 64bit ?.
Please give feedback on Halion 6 / win7!.
It would be very stressfull to buy Halion 6,
to find out after Halion 6 dosent work with
win7.
I just want to be 100% secure, that Halion
6 does actually work with win7.
I have a day off today to play with Halion. 
But that manual is 550+ pages so it is going to take some time to byte trough all of it.
As far as functionality matters: Yes, the entire peace of software is working in Win 7 it seems at first sight . The only thing i encountered, which is not something essential, is that UAC in Win 7 with restricted (guest) accounts seems to have trouble to recognize the new Halion 6 content. Software is fine, but still to premature to define it as an issue. I will check it further today.
kind regards,
R.
