RootsMagic 8 will run on the following operating systems.
- Windows 7 SP1 through Windows 11

Select the appropriate download for your operating system here - http://rootsmagic.com/Download/RootsMagic-8/
Every download will run as RootsMagic Essentials until a license key is entered to unlock the full version. Each version of RootsMagic will run independent of each other. Previous versions of RootsMagic do not need to be uninstalled before installing RootsMagic 8. RootsMagic 8 and other versions can be run at the same time since they use different database files. If you later decide to uninstall an earlier version of RootsMagic it will not hurt your current RootsMagic 8 program.
