Thanks for the reminder, even though I am most likely not going to use it since it requires Windows 10. But, quoting from the Handbrake documentation :

HandBrake will still run on Windows 7 and 8.1. You will receive a notice that it is not supported when starting the app (twice) after which it will continue to run normally. Please note, some functionality may not work correctly on these OSes.

I still use Handbrake 0.10.5 on Windows 7 / Windows 8.1, as I only need it to occasionally convert some MKV files to mp4, and for that 0.10.5 is good enough.

Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.
