Operating System
SES Software was tested and passed validation on the following operating systems:
| 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.
