Sib. 6.x: Windows 11 and Sib 6
Posted by Howard Lorriman - 15 Mar 04:39PM

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I keep getting asked occasionally, after booting up, if I would like to update to Windows 11 from Windows 10. Supposedly this will keep other things up to date.

I use Sibelius 6.2 which I much prefer, although I do have a perpetual licence. If I do upgrade(?) to 11 will it mess up Sib6?

Thanks
Howard

There are no known problems running Sibelius 6 on Windows 11, although that is not an officially Avid-supported combination. But then, Sibelius 6 on Windows 10 was not officially supported either.

Before installing Sibelius 6 on Windows 11, you might need to enable the .NET 2.x support within Windows, which by default is disabled. It's a Windows optional feature.

Thank you Robin. Sibelius 6 is already installed. If I do decide to click on the upgrade to 11 do I have to un-install Sibelius 6 first and then re-install Sibelius 6 following the upgrade? Sorry for being a computer numpty!

No, you do not need to uninstall Sibelius 6. It should survive the upgrade.
