Professional Operating Systems Consumer Operating Systems
Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 Home
Windows 10 Pro , Windows Server 2022, or Windows Server 2016/2019 Windows 10 Home

† Stable feature update. Since Windows 10/11 feature updates are now being released annually by Microsoft, SES Software is fully tested on a feature update version that has been available for a few months. Technically, SES Software should work satisfactorily on all feature updates of Windows 10/11.
Note: Older versions of SES Software (e.g, v13, v12, v11, etc.) are not fully compatible with Windows 10/11 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.
