System Requirements

See the Compatibility table in the Audacity Wiki

Read about Audacity on Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7.

Machine requirements

A CPU that supports SSE2 is required (any CPU made after 2003 should support this). Please use the legacy Audacity 2.0.6 version if your machine lacks SSE2 support.

The values in the recommended RAM/processor speed column below are for tasks like recording for an hour, or editing three 20-minute tracks simultaneously. The values in the minimum RAM/processor speed column will be fine for smaller/shorter tasks, especially if unnecessary programs are closed.

Audacity works best on computers meeting more than the minimum requirements stated above. For lengthy multi-track projects, we recommend using machines of substantially higher specification than the minimums.

Older versions of Windows/old hardware

A compatibility table that includes old versions of Windows may be found on the Audacity wiki.

Audacity 2.4.2 is believed to work correctly on Windows 7, 8.1 and Vista, though please note that 7, 8 and Vista obsolete and no longer supported by Microsoft. More information about Audacity on Vista HERE.

2.1.3 (no longer supported) was the final version to run on Windows XP (which itself is no longer supported by Microsoft).

For Windows 98, ME and 2000, also for XP without the final Service Pack see Legacy Windows Downloads.
