Description

The latest version of Syncthing is available as download in the Downloads-page. However, this version requires Windows 10+ or Windows Server 2016+. It would probably be a good idea to note this limitation, as nothing indicates this currently.

As a bonus, perhaps it's also good habit to add some sort of link to the forum or a quick step-by-step guide on how-to downgrade ánd disable auto-upgrades for the OS-versions which cannot run the latest version of Syncthing.

Research direction
