Description

Hello,
there is missing info about which version numbers are supported.

I have Turing 5 inch screen and im trying to use it for retro machine with Windows 7 32bit.
Aida64 monitoring is not working with Windows 7, Turmo is not working with Windows 7.

I bough it with description that Windows 7, are supported, later it not worked i looked at alternative drivers link download and there was description that Windows 7 drivers are working only with 3.5 inch version.

So i came to this project as last chance and description is unclear, i can make Python working 3.8.

I have tried to download *.exe but it complains about 32 bit version of OS.

I dont understand why, this hardware just need to set few bites over USB port to device, so it work fine with 32bit OS, it does not use any 64bit only features.
