  • Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 (Legacy runs on newer Macs with Windows installed under Bootcamp, Parallel or Fusion. Legacy runs on Linux machines with a Windows emulator like VMWare or Sun's Virtual Box). Note: Runs on both 32bit and 64bit Windows platforms.

  • A Hard Drive with room for at least 500 megabytes of available space.

  • 8 GB of RAM minimum.

  • Internet connection recommended (Internet connection recommended, and required to access some features such as Searching the Internet, Hints, FamilySearch tools, and Research Guidance links.)

MACs: Currently there is no version of Legacy for a MAC. Legacy runs on newer Macs under Crossover. Please visit https://www.codeweavers.com for the details. Legacy also runs on newer Macs with Windows installed under Bootcamp, Parallels or Fusion.

LINUX: Currently there is no version of Legacy for a Ubuntu/Linux. This is something we may consider for the future. In the meantime, Legacy runs on Ubuntu/Linux with Cross Over software or VMWare or Sun's Virtual Box installed.
