Topic: Electrum wallet not synchronizing (Read 183 times)
I know, I only use this computer for small transactions of less than 100 dollars, I have another laptop with windows 10 for more security.
Then, either use Electrum 3.0 (which AFAIK it's the latest version that supports Vista - still not recommended) or update it to Windows 10.Alright thanks.

Well, that's the issue. Vista isn't supported anymore.Honestly, why are you still that outdated? Microsoft stopped supporting Vista more than 1 year ago. Which means that you will not receive new security updates or get any support for most softwares. You shouldn't be storing Bitcoins in a OS that no longer receives security updates. Just update to Windows 10.
