Version: Major updates, often with compatibility changes or significant new models.
Feature: Adds improvements or new functionality within the same version.
Patch: Fixes bugs and applies minor refinements.
Factors to Consider
Are you looking for a previous release that:
- is compatible with hardware limitations?
- had a function that was preferred over the latest release?
- didn’t include a bug that the new version introduced?
Recommendations
If you’re having issues with compatibility, consider the current system requirements and choose an earlier version.
We recommend v6.3.3 for under-spec systems compatible with legacy requirements
We recommend v8.2.2 if you cannot update to the latest build of Windows 10
If you prefer functionality from a previous release, use the last feature release that included the functionality you liked better.
We recommend v7.4.4 if you do not want cloud-generative features
If you’re experiencing a bug that snuck into a new release, use a previous patch release that didn’t include the bug, or update to a newer patch that you haven’t yet installed.
We recommend v8.3.4 if you’re experiencing excessive model errors
