With the release of VisualSoft Suite version 11.1.6 on 8 October 2025 we now support the use of Windows 11 for almost everything in the suite.


The following applications may now be run on Windows 11, or on Windows 10 64-bit:

  • VisualDVR 2023 Edition (for VisualDVR hardware with blue doors)
  • VisualDataLogger
  • VisualEventLogger
  • Visual3D-Inspector
  • VisualArchive
  • VisualEdit (base edition, Eventing and Professional editions)
  • VisualReview (base and Professional editions)
  • VisualDVR Network Player
  • VisualSoft Video Downsampler


The following application will run ONLY on Windows 10 64-bit:

  • VisualDVR Legacy Edition (for VisualDVR hardware with silver doors). The legacy hardware used by the Legacy software edition has no Windows 11 drivers.


The following legacy hardware is supported ONLY on Windows 10 64-bit:

  • Brainboxes 8 Port Serial Expansion Card used for VisualDataLogger.  
    This is replaced by the Startech PCI-E 8-port Serial Expansion Card for use on Windows 11.  Please contact us for more information.
  • LTO4 Tape Drives
  • Winnov Videum video capture cards
  • Vitec VMC-7440 video capture cards
  • Vitec VM2-C8 overlay cards 


The compatibility of hardware with the VisualSoft Suite depends mainly on the motherboard that each PC has. Other PC components, such as RAM, may need to be upgraded. Chassis can be separated into two categories; 4U Rackmount chassis and offline desktop chassis. 4U Rackmount chassis, with the correct motherboard can run all VisualSoft Suite applications, while the offline desktop chassis can run all applications except VisualDVR. 


To install Windows 11 a PC must have a physical security module known as a Trusted Platform Module (or TPM). Please contact us for more information if you are unsure whether your PC can run Windows 11.


Some applications require extra hardware, such as Serial cards for VisualDataLogger or SAS cards for VisualArchive. Using VisualSoft Video Downsampler requires at least an Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card.


Some chassis will have Windows 11 activation keys already, while others may require the purchase of a new Windows 11 licence
