iTunes 13 on Windows 7

iTunes is telling me that I need to update to version 13 to backup my phone. I am running Windows 7. iTunes 13 seems to only be available on the Microsoft Store which is not available on Windows 7.. I can download iTunes 12 but not 13.. Is there a way I can get iTunes 13 installed on Windows 7 or am I now no longer able to use iTunes? Thanks.

iPhone X

Hey there Kenno7,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you want to know if you can install iOS 13 on your PC running Windows 7. I’ll be happy to help.


It looks like iTunes 12.8 is the current version available for Windows 7 or later. You can review the requirements here:


iTunes


That being said, you should still be able to back up your iPhone. Update iTunes using the steps here:


Update to the latest version of iTunes


Once you do that, restart your iPhone and try backing up using the steps here:

Let me know if this helps.
