To use Q++Studio with Windows 8 (not recommended and not supported), you need Windows 8.1.
Currently, Q++Studio supports the following versions of Windows: Recommended Version
Windows 10 64-bit is the recommended version of Windows to use on workstations running the XE3 version of Q++Studio.
The 64-bit version of Windows is required, even though the XE3 version of Q++Studio is 32-bit, because all versions of QuarkXPress are 64-bit, beginning with QuarkXPress 2015.
Older Versions
In addition to the recommended version of Windows, above, Q++Studio XE3 also supports Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 (not recommended for security reasons).
Latest Version of Windows
Q++Studio also supports Windows 11, though support by QuarkXPress might be problematic.
Versions of Windows that are not supported
Windows Vista and Windows 8 are not supported.
