-This question comes up a lot in the forums in varied forms:
+{{#Widget:Redirect|url=/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/System-Requirements/ta-p/1327203}}
-* '''Is the Second Life Viewer compatible with Windows 7?'''
-* '''Does Second Life run on Windows 7?'''
-The answer is officially ''yes'' from Linden Lab, with the following caveats:
-* '''[http://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ The System Requirements page] needs to be updated.''' Changes are in the queue but they're awaiting a future web push. Yes, it sounds counterintuitive — dontcha wish it was as easy to change some text there as this wiki? ;)
-* '''We support 32-bit Windows 7.''' [[Torley]]'s asked to find out if there are any particular known issues with 64-bit Windows 7, since there are an increasing number of modern systems that have >3 GB of RAM. There are many reports of the Viewer running fine on x64, ''but'' make sure to update your [[graphics drivers]]. That's true for every version of Windows, and if you have a problem with the Viewer on Win 7, it may not be that OS-specific, so do some investigating.
