 +===== Rhino 4 on Windows 10 =====
  
 +Rhino 4 was written for Windows XP, and is not supported in Windows Vista or newer.
 +
 +If you try to run Rhino 4 in newer versions of Windows, you'll encounter these problems:
 +
 +
 +==== Limitations and Requirements ====
 +  * **Memory:** Your 64-bit computer has 16GB of RAM or more. Rhino 4 is a 32-bit application and only has access to 4GB of RAM. Rhino 4 cannot support large models like newer versions of Rhino.
 +  * **User Account Control:** Rhino 4 was released before Microsoft added **User Account Control** to Windows. Rhino 4 must run in **Windows XP SP3 Compatibility Mode.** Doing so allows Rhino to save changes to your toolbars and settings it closes. Windows Compatibility mode settings are part of the Desktop shortcut properties.
 +  * **Low resolution:** Your computer probably supports high resolution and high-DPI screens. You must configure Windows to run at a low screen resolution (like 1024 x 768). If you don't, some of Rhino's user interface - like the **Layer panel** - will be blank, and Rhino's toolbar icons will be too small to read.

 +==== Consider trying Rhino 8 ====
 +Rhino 8 has [[https://www.rhino3d.com/8/new/| new features and capabilities]], and will take advantage of the features of your 64-bit Windows computer.
