Unsupported operating system for MySQL Workbench - windows 7

Question

I am using MySQL in my python 2.7 project. I have created a database and tables on a windows 7 professional operating system (64-bit).

I want to see the data that is stored in the database's tables, using MySQL Workbench. The problem is I am getting the following message:

What should I do to solve this problem?

I know there is a MySQL archive from which I can download earlier versions of the workbench, but I don't know what version is suitable for my operating system. Does anybody know?

link to the archive - https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/

Thanks.

Please download a lower version of Mysql Workbench(in archives section on download page). This solved my problem.

Answer 3

I'm successfully using MySQL Workbench version 8.0.12 on Windows 7.

(Apparently this was the latest supported version and it doesn't have the compatibility warning.)

Answer 4

Windows 7 is not a supported platform. See the platform list on the MySQL site: https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html.
