I don't know the answer to your main question, but if you're interested
in knowing when that was written, you can see here
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blame/trunk/doc/manual/R-FAQ.texi
for the main FAQ, and here:
https://github.com/wch/r-source/blame/trunk/doc/manual/rw-FAQ.texi
for the Windows FAQ. The particular entries you were asking about were
in the Windows FAQ and most recently updated 5 years ago (2.24) or 4
months ago (2.2). So there's a good chance that 2.2 is still valid,
though like any documentation, it can get out of date without anyone
noticing. If you do find that R fails to run on Windows 7, you should
like R Core know.

Hello,
Reading the FAQ, I'm confused about whether R 4.0.2 is tested on Windows 7.
I found the following:
2.24 Does R run under Windows Vista/7/8/Server 2008?
It does. ...
2.2 How do I install R for Windows?
Current binary versions of R are known to run on Windows 7 or later, including on
64-bit versions: See Can I use R on 64-bit Windows?. Windows > XP is no longer
supported.
We only test on versions of Windows currently supported by Microsoft, mainly
64-bit Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 10. ...
There is no indication what date these questions and answers were posted.
If it's true that R is only tested on supported versions of Windows, that would
exclude Vista and Windows 7.
The download site doesn't mention operating system requirements. Does 4.0.2
work on Windows 7?
Thank you,
Mike
