Roblox Error: Your Windows 7 System is Too Outdated [Solved]

Anyone who recently installed Roblox on a Windows 7 machine received an error while launching the game that read, Your Windows 7 system is too outdated. Please install KB4534310.

This is because Roblox dropped support for Windows 7 and Windows 8. To get it to work, you have to install a critical security update, KB4534310, released by Microsoft.

How can I fix the Windows 7 system is outdated error in Roblox?

1. Install KB4534310 from the MSU file

1. Go to Microsoft Update Catalog, and click the Download button next to the correct KB4534310 version, depending on the system architecture. For instance, if you are running 64-bit Windows 7, get the x64 update, and for 32-bit Windows 7, get the x86 update.
2. In the Window that opens up, click on the provided link.
3. After downloading the setup, run it and wait for the KB4534310 installation to complete.
4. Finally, restart the PC and verify whether the Roblox error is fixed.

As suggested in the error message, downloading the KB4534310 update fixed the Windows 7 outdated error in Roblox for most users.

If KB4534310 is not installed, download these updates beforehand, as these are prerequisites:

• KB4490628
• KB4474419
• KB4536952

2. Install KB4534310 after converting MSU to CAB

1. After downloading the KB4534310 update file, right-click on it, select Rename, and change its extension from MSU to CAB. You just need to change the extension at the end of the file name. If it’s not visible, configure Windows to show file extensions.
2. Now, open the CAB file, right-click on Windows6.1-KB4534310-x64.cab, select Extract, choose another location, and click on Extract.
3. Head to the location you choose earlier, and copy the path for the extracted CAB file.
4. Press Windows + R to open Run, type cmd, and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
5. Click Yes in the UAC prompt.
6. Paste the following command while replacing CAB File Path with the path you copied earlier, and then hit Enter: dism /online /add-package /packagepath:"CAB File Path"
7. Once done, reboot the PC and check for improvements.

If the KB4534310 update is not installing, this workaround, which employs the DISM command, will help complete the installation process without throwing any issues and fix the Roblox error Your windows 7 system is too outdated.

3. Upgrade to a newer iteration of Windows

When you somehow can’t get things to work, the last option is to upgrade to a compatible Windows iteration, i.e., Windows 10 or Windows 11. According to the official website, Roblox works on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

In case your computer meets the minimum system requirements, I recommend installing Windows 11. However, that’s unlikely to be the case. So, it would be wiser to upgrade to Windows 10 for now and switch to Windows 11 when you get a new computer!

Roblox dropping support for Windows 7 was an expected move, given the iteration has been out of support from Microsoft since January 2020. And while you have been able to get rid of the Windows 7 outdated Roblox error for now, other issues may appear in the future.
