Hardware# Visual Studio Code is a small download (< 200 MB) and has a disk footprint of < 500 MB. VS Code is lightweight and should easily run on today's hardware.
We recommend:
1.6 GHz or faster processor 1 GB of RAM Platforms# VS Code is supported on the following platforms:
OS X El Capitan (10.11+) Windows 8.0, 8.1 and 10, 11 (32-bit and 64-bit) Linux (Debian): Ubuntu Desktop 16.04, Debian 9 Linux (Red Hat): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7, Fedora 34

Thanks to God a genius guy made the newer VSCode compatible with windows 7, i was able to run the latest version v1.87 with absolutely no problem. https://github.com/Alex313031/codium https://thorium.rocks/codium/
a rich discussion is going here https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/1264
Alex313031 made also the newer chromium compatible with windows 7
I also still use Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I discovered that the latest version of Code downloaded directly from Microsoft - 1.74.3 at the time I'm writing this - runs fine and all features (like debugging) appear to work IF you use the ZIP download. Every time I start it, it pops up the message "Visual Studio Code on Windows 7 will no longer receive any further updates." But when the next update comes along, I plan to just download the newest zip.
Note that all the projects I had opened in the installed version are still available in the zipped version. So, I won't be upgrading this system to Windows 10.
