*1. Microsoft released two versions of Windows on Oct 26th 2012. One is Windows 8 and the other is Windows RT. Windows RT is the tablet only version of Windows, so POSIM EVO will NOT run on Windows RT. However it will run on Windows 8.

*2. Windows 8 adds a new feature called SmartScreen which is designed to reduce malicious software by displaying a warning when 'unrecognized' software is installed. Microsoft keeps track of applications that are frequently installed. As soon as POSIM EVO is on the 'safe-list' this warning will no longer show up. For now you will need to click "More Info" then "Run Anyway" to install POSIM EVO.
