I have a Windows Vista computer, and it used to have iTunes on it. Due to some problems I was having, I had to reinstall Windows Vista, which wiped out everything on my computer. The iTunes available for download right now is too new for my computer so I can't download it without Windows 7. I also don't have any backups or saved versions of my old iTunes. Is there a way to download an older version that is still compatible with Windows Vista?
iTunes 12.1.2 is the last version to work with Windows Vista* - direct links to the installers as follows:
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
* acknowledging that all versions of iTunes since 11.1.5 have had a problem with Buffer Overflow / Data Execution Prevention errors in Vista.

If you can not make it work:
I am not confident that this and other such sites can be trusted, but sometimes there is no alternative.
Turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates includes links to all previous versions from 11.4 to 12.2.1 - these are to the installers as stored in Apple's servers, so may be more reliable than anything stored on third-party sites.
Thank you. Learned some more, grat, have a good day.
