TuneMeUp runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. That is the short answer, and it is worth checking before you buy.
Every Windows 11 computer can run TuneMeUp, and so can almost every Windows 10 computer. The one exception is a small number of older Windows 10 computers that use a version of Windows called “32-bit”. Most people have never heard of it, and you do not need to know what it means — the check below tells you in about a minute.
What TuneMeUp does not run on
- Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 — TuneMeUp will not run on these.
- The 32-bit version of Windows 10 — this is uncommon, and mostly found on older or very low-cost computers, often ones that first came with Windows 7 or 8.
- Mac computers — there is no Mac version of TuneMeUp.
- Phones and tablets — TuneMeUp is for Windows computers only.
How to check your computer
If you are not sure which version of Windows is on your computer:
- Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard (the one with the Windows symbol, usually next to the space bar) and press the letter R.
- A small box opens. Type
ms-settings:aboutinto it and press Enter. - A page called About opens. Look for two lines:
- Edition should say Windows 10 or Windows 11 (for example, “Windows 11 Home”).
- System type should start with 64-bit operating system. Whatever comes after it, such as “x64-based processor” or “ARM-based processor”, is fine.
If both match, TuneMeUp will run on your computer.
If Edition says anything other than Windows 10 or Windows 11, or System type says “32-bit operating system”, TuneMeUp will not run on that computer — but StartMeStick will (see below).
If Windows says it cannot find ms-settings:about, that usually means the computer has an older version of Windows, such as Windows 7 or 8.
Computer too old for TuneMeUp?
Your computer can still be useful. StartMeStick is made for older computers, including ones running Windows 7, Windows 8 or the 32-bit version of Windows 10.
What else your computer needs
- An internet connection, to download TuneMeUp and to sign in with the code we email you.
- Permission to make changes when you ask TuneMeUp to fix something — Windows asks you once each time you use it.
