That's bloody wired? ??? this should be compatible for W8 and above? ??? as I'm not ready to upgrade towards W10, otherwise, MS will be release another OS version very soon somewhere next year in 2022 or maybe 2023.

Hi,

Unfortunately, advanced features, like Smart VPN and improved connection methods, are only available for Windows 10

Thanks for the heads up, because, I had to check and to know why and to make sure I'm fully protected when using the Avast VPN on W8.1.
