## System requirements

Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) or newer using the x86, x64, ARM32 or ARM64 CPU architecture.

## Installing

**Note:** You need to manually uninstall Release 1.x as Release 2.0 and newer will not automatically uninstall.

### For Release 2 and newer

#### Using Microsoft Store (recommended)

You can download WinverUWP for free in [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/p/winver-uwp/9n60s2vfmb7l). This option allows you to get automatic updates.

#### Package files

1. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/dongle-the-gadget/WinverUWP/releases) page.

2. Look for the latest release (usually at the top of the page).

3. Download the correct architecture (x86, x64, arm32 or arm64).

4. Open the downloaded `appx` file and choose **Install** or **Update**.

**Note:** Choosing the correct architecture is critical, otherwise the app would fail to read the registry and crashes on launch.

### For Release 1.x

**Note:** These builds don't support ARM64 and has been officially deprecated.

1. Download [Release 1.1](https://github.com/dongle-the-gadget/WinverUWP/releases/download/v1.1.0.0/WinverUWPPackage_1.1.0.0.zip).

2. Extract the ZIP file.

3. Run the Install.ps1 file and the application will be installed.

   

   **Note:** During installation, PowerShell may ask you about execution policies and administrator privileges. For execution scopes, select **Unrestricted**, and for administrator privileges (User Account Control), select Yes or enter in your administrator credentials.

## Launching

You could launch this program in one of these three ways:

- As an app entry in Start, Search, PowerToys Run, ... (whatever has you)

- Using the app execution alias: `winveruwp.exe`

- Using the app protocol: `winveruwp://`
