Many thanks for this, Stephan.  Two problems with the hyperlink content, 
tho' —

 1. If one visits https://tug.org/texworks/, one is offered "Get
    TeXworks for Windows — version 0.6.8, 23.7MB".  Unfortunately this
    is not "TeXworks for Windows" /qua/ Windows, it is "TeXworks for
    Windows 10, and perhaps later".  Some (myself included), will need
    the version compatible with earlier releases, "TeXworks-win7".  For
    this, one has to follow the link "(Feb 2023) TeXworks 0.6.8 released
    (Get it | Changes)", but that is not clear from the prose.

 2. If one follows the link "(Feb 2023) TeXworks 0.6.8 released (Get it
    | Changes)", one is taken to
    https://tug.org/texworks/#Getting_TeXworks, from which one can
    follow a further link "Microsoft Windows: TeXworks
    <https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/releases> installer" which
    takes one to https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/releases.  Therein
    one finds TeXworks-win7-setup-0.6.8-202302181307-git_6b1c6ab.exe,
    but if one runs that as Administrator, TeXworks is installed into
    C:\Program files (x86)\TeXworks with no option as to the
    installation location.  Only by downloading
    TeXworks-win7-0.6.8-202302181307-git_6b1c6ab.zip can one obtain a
    version of TeXworks compatible with Windows 7 and installable in the
    users' preferred location.

It might be helpful if notes to this effect could be added to the 
primary download page, https://tug.org/texworks/.
