WINDOWS
PLEASE NOTE: Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 which means we can no longer guarantee that SimUText will run on Windows 7.
The SimUText application fully supports the following versions of Microsoft Windows:
- Windows 11
- Windows 10
- Windows 8 and 8.1

SimUText will not install on Surface tablets (Surface 1, 2, RT) with ARM processors. Surface Pro tablets have Intel Core processors and should be able to run SimUText with minor Windows configuration adjustments.
