Is kontakt 5 still available?

resera

If I purchase Kontakt 6, would I be able to download and install Kontakt 5?

It's so that I can install it onto my fully functioning Windows 7 pc which can't be updated to Win10.

@resera Here you can find all the versions compatible with Windows 7 including links to install these versions:

Sadly, that's not possible.

But you could take a look at the Buy / Sell / Trade thread, see if someone sells a Kontakt 5 license.

I couldn't find Kontakt 5 there. No luck on ebay either. Doesn't NI offer any alternatives for somebody to purchase a Win7 compatible version?

You may still be able to upgrade your PC to Windows 10

Kontakt 6 should be compatible with Win7. If not current version, then older one. I have Kontakt 6 running on Win7.

Native Access won't install Kontakt on W7. But if you have a W10 machine you can download from there then move the installer to W7 and run it there.
