Supported operating systems ‡

We recommend updating to Windows® 11 (64-bit edition) with latest updates installed. You will, however, need to uninstall any earlier versions of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite. For latest operating system information, visit the Wilcom Support Center at help.wilcom.com.

Microsoft has officially announced that Windows 10 support will end on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide technical assistance, feature updates, or security updates for Windows 10.

This means that continuing to run Windows 10 beyond this date will pose increasing risks, including security vulnerabilities and potential compatibility issues with new software.

Free hard disk space †

EmbroideryStudio occupies up to 5 GB of hard disk space, depending on options installed. CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite also takes up an additional 3 GB. However, you need additional free space for your applications to run smoothly.

Screen resolution ¥

Some controls may be hidden on the user interface if you run your monitor at low resolutions. The physical size of your monitor will have a bearing on the optimum screen resolution. Larger fonts will exacerbate the problem. If you experience visibility issues, try adjusting both screen resolution and font size. For example, a resolution of 1600 x 900 with a font size of 100% or 125% should be acceptable.

Power plan

For best performance make sure your PC is set to high performance power plan.
