 I'm unable to run TBB 8.0 on my old system because it's based on Quantum.
 Is there a way to at least update only Tor in TBB 7.5.6? Simply
 overwriting the files from an unzipped TBB 8.0 didn't work.

 Like 10% of internet users I'm still using XP. I'd rather risk a slim
 chance of pwnge by a windows vulnerability than a certain chance of pwnge
 by Microsoft and PRISM on a modern OS. Upgrading my machine isn't an
 option either because 8th gen intel drivers are only supported on Windows
 10.

 I respect Tor's decision to move to Quantum but since XP is the only
 option for privacy conscious users who can't migrate to Linux please
 provide us with a way to keep Tor core updated.
