Blender 2.78 remains a cornerstone for users of legacy hardware or those needing specialized tools from the pre-2.8 era. Whether you are running an older 32-bit machine or require specific add-ons, the (portable version) offers a stable, no-install solution that can coexist with newer versions of the software.

You can keep Blender 2.78 in its own folder while having the latest version (like Blender 4.0+) installed elsewhere without conflict.
Simply extract the folder and run blender.exe . This is ideal for restricted environments like school or work computers.
