Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Win7X64 system, starting from version V0.16.0:
CMD:netbird up --setup-key ***** --management-url *****
Error: unable to get daemon status: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = received error "The data is invalid." while configuring interface wt0 with port 51820

Describe the solution you'd like
On the old computer, there is no need to install Win10, and the latest version of Netbird can still be used.
Or, when installing on an unsupported operating system, block the installation

Describe alternatives you've considered
USE OLD VERSION

Additional context
none
