Can a Windows app packaged with Conveyor actually be installed and updated on an ordinary Windows 7 machine, without the user having to do anything extra? I suppose we don't have to worry about Windows 7 for much longer, but that time isn't yet here.

The project is open source, even: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/msix-core/msixcore https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/msix-core/msi... That said, Conveyor itself isn't tested on anything less than Windows 10 and won't automatically install MSIX Core. Windows 7 isn't supported anymore and Chrome is about to phase out its support for it too. So far we just don't see any demand for a better UX on Windows 7, so the user would have to apply that themselves. Or, just download and use the zip version, of course.
