Windows XP and Windows 11 sync

Dear guys, I’m running two systems - Windows XP and Windows 11. Can I use suncthing to synchronize my documents between them due to XP support issue? What if I use 1.0.1 on the first and 1.1.19 on the second? Or is there any solution?

Why this specific version?

As far as I’m aware, Syncthing v1.29.5 is the last version that can connect to v1.0.1 (as long as you enable https://docs.syncthing.net/v1.29.3/advanced/option-insecure-allow-old-tls-versions.html).

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I just meant the latest version.

This should work stable? This is the only option - I cannot somehow install newer version on XP?

You can try syncspirit for windows XP, download. It is however, less stable then syncthing, atm.

(PS. I hope to release new version with fixes and new features soon)

They should operate with one another, yes. Of course, v1.0.1 is very old and many bugs have been fixed since then.

Maybe with the extended kernel for XP? Please keep in mind that this would be completely unsupported from the Syncthing side, so if something breaks, you’re likely on your own. First and foremost, I’d ensure that you’ve got proper backups of any valuable data that you intend to sync.
