Operating System
SES Software was tested and passed validation on the following operating systems:
| Professional Operating Systems | Consumer Operating Systems |
| Windows 11 Pro† or Windows Server 2025 | Windows 11 Home† |
| Windows 10 Pro† †, Windows Server 2022, or Windows Server 2016/2019 | Windows 10 Home† † |
†
Based on stable feature updates.
Feature updates of Windows 10 and 11 are being released annually by Microsoft. Considering this, we
have ensured that SES Software is fully tested on a supported feature update version that has been
available for a few months. Technically, SES Software should work satisfactorily on all supported feature
updates.
†† Since Windows 10 will reach the end of support by mid-October 2025, SES will not be able to offer support as well for users who are still on Windows 10 after Microsoft’s official support ends. It is recommended to upgrade to Windows 11.
