Older versions of Opera
While we recommend that you use the latest version of Opera, we understand that sometimes this might not be possible, depending on your hardware and operating system. Opera may run on older hardware and older versions of operating systems however it is likely that it will be less usable. You can download some earlier versions of Opera that may work with your system from our download page. Just click the link for More Options > Show other versions, or go to the Opera FTP archive.
If you are using very old hardware or software and Opera fails to start up after trying older versions, unfortunately Opera may not be suited to your system.
