@DonnEdwards Is there any restriction with the latest version of Clarion 11 with Windows 10? I recently bought new license and it’s having issue with Windows 10 but works fine with WIndows 11. ---

I have installed Clarion 11 on two laptops and one desktop PC, all running Windows 10, without any issues. What kind of errors were you having? Did you install the “[Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3138367/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package)” file first?
