Insightful is currently compatible with Windows and macOS supported devices, so it can run on all Windows versions from Win 7 and newer.

Since Windows 7 is no longer being supported by Microsoft, some of Insightful users that have this version of Windows might need to take just a few extra steps in order to run Insightful on their computers.

Steps to enable Insightful on Windows 7

If you Install and run Insightful and the application does not start, or you encounter any other issue upon startup or installation process, you should do the following:

  1. Install .Net Framework 4.0 Runtime on your device

  2. Reboot the computer

As dotnet 4.0 reached end of life and is no longer supported (similarly to how Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft) some users might be experiencing difficulties with installing / updating to version 4.0. If you are among those - please find links to other versions on the bottom of the web page linked above and try with dotnet version 4.5 instead.
