1. Lumion 6.5 and newer:

Lumion 6.5 and newer requires Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Note:

  • Lumion 11 and 12 require at least Windows 10 version 1809 in order to run.
  • Lumion 2023 requires Windows 10 version 2004 or newer, or Windows 11 version 21H2 or newer.

Important:
Insider Preview builds of Windows are pre-release versions that are intended for testing only and can be unstable. They are not recommended for use as a primary operating system and are not guaranteed to work with Lumion.

To see which version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 you currently have installed, click on the Windows button and select Settings -> System -> About, to see the version number.

 

2. Lumion 6.3 and older:

If you're using Lumion 6.3 or older and need more than 4 GB of memory for your Projects, we recommend that you run Lumion on Windows 7 (64-bit with at least SP1).

The reason is that Windows 8 and 10 do not allow older DirectX 9 applications (such as Lumion 6.3 and older) to use more than 4 GB graphics card memory for a given application - and no system memory either. On Windows 7, graphics card memory and system memory are not limited by the 4 GB cap when running older DirectX 9 applications such as Lumion 1.0-6.3.

Lumion 6.5 and newer are not affected by this cap and can use more than 4 GB memory on Windows 7, 8 and 10.
