I installed Delphi 7 on my Windows 7, however we know that by default Delphi 7 comes with Indy 9. For me, that's fine, because I use only idhttp.post and get via http. >

The doubts would be:

Is this idhttp component coming in Delphi 7 native and running in Windows without requiring a dll?

The app made in Delphi 7 with this idhttp , Indy 9 default Delphi 7, even if the current one is Indy 10 and Delphi 10, does it run smoothly on windows 8?

If you can help me by answering already testo.

I have applications made in Delphi using Indy 10, using the components for sending email, I have no problems in this case neither with win8 nor win7.

It's simple to replace Indy 9 with 10 with a look at this article:

But some features run differently on windows7 / 8 for xp, so when building an application make sure you test it in both scenarios if you need to deploy it that way.

Yes. The Indy 9 that comes in the D7 is fully compatible with the new versions of windows 7, 8 and 10 and runs normally on them.

No. You do not need any DLLs to be distributed along with the executable. You will only need DLLs if you use HTTPS, otherwise not.

Although it is possible to install the Indy 10 on the D7, it is not necessary, Indy 9 works well for what you want (idhttp)

Any version of Indy from 9 will run with no need for DLL distribution on any version of windows that exists today. What differs from the version of the Indy component is only the features it offers.
