NOTE: Consider that newer operating system versions may cause erratic and unstable behavior with older versions of Capture One. It is recommended to test an upgraded operating system extensively before putting it into production. Capture One takes OS/Application compatibility extremely seriously and cannot support a released OS version without extensive testing.
Please keep in mind that the table above shows the officially tested operating systems for each version. This means that support for versions and operating systems not indicated in this table might work without issues, but if an error occurs in deprecated versions of Capture One due to an unsupported operating system, it’s not in our power to resolve it.
We, therefore, recommend keeping Capture One up to date and waiting with upgrading your operating system until it is officially supported in an update of Capture One if stability and functionality are critical to your operations.
