Hi @Pulakles18,

Most of system running on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 should be able to install it.
I would not recommend Windows 8 and Windows 7.

Microsoft does not provide public patches and security updates to obsolete Operating Systems.



Running Cortex on obsolete OSs can lead to security vulnerability which Hackers can take advantage of.



Unless if you are planning to use your PC "off the grid", as in No internet.
