Description
Hi,
I have windows 7 without SP1, and I would like to run keybase client on it.
The installation guide of keybase didn't mention SP1 in the requirements and I already installed the client on my Android device, but the client refuses the installation on windows since SP1 is not installed.
I would like to know if there is a workaround for me to use keybase on my windows 7 without proceeding to installation of SP1 ?
If not, what are the dependencies to SP1 ? If it's needed because of dokan, I understand but apparently dokan is not mandatory for keybase according to https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/6690#issuecomment-297179313.
Could you provide a workaround or update your documentation with the exact requirements ?
Thanks

Research direction
Start with the Windows installation guide and the installer’s stated requirements, then compare them with the Windows 7 without SP1 report and the referenced Dokan discussion. Determine whether SP1 is required and document the exact requirement or supported workaround; the installation guide should clearly reflect the result.
