Fortnite will not work on these Windows versions anymore

Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royale games. The developer behind the game, Epic Games has given special attention to the game. Although, it is also a fact that they failed to impress mobile gamers. However, it does not change the fact the game is still trending on PC and consoles. The main reason behind Fortnite being relevant even after years is the consistency of the developer. Yup, the developer takes no break: Collaborations, events, new cosmetics, and much more. Moreover, there are also some changes that can be a bit sad for some players. One of these changes is coming, and spoiler alert; Old Windows users will be disappointed.
