> WinApps does __NOT__ officially support versions of Windows prior to Windows 10. Despite this, it may be possible to achieve a successful installation with some additional experimentation. If you find a way to achieve this, please share your solution through a pull request for the benefit of other users.
> Possible setup instructions for Windows 10:
> - 'Professional', 'Enterprise' or 'Server' editions of Windows are required to run RDP applications. Windows 'Home' will NOT suffice. It is recommended to download the ISO from a reputed source, as the built in downloader (default set to `tiny11` will take longer than it would to download from a browser/torrent.
> - It is recommended to edit the initial `compose.yaml` file to keep your required username and password from the beginning.
> - It is recommended to not use `sudo` to force commands to run. Add your user to the relevant permissions group wherever possible.
