• MIDI controllers: Often require drivers; not guaranteed on foreign PCs.

• Operating System: 32-bit Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
• Processor: 1 GHz Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon
• RAM: 1 GB or more
• Storage: A USB drive or any portable storage device with at least 1 GB of free space

• 32-bit vs. 64-bit: FL Studio comes in two architectural versions. The 64-bit version can access more RAM, making it ideal for large orchestral templates. The 32-bit version is limited to 4GB of RAM but offers better compatibility with older VST plugins (instruments and effects) that were never updated for 64-bit systems.
• Portable Mode: This is not a separate product sold by Image-Line. Instead, "Portable" refers to a specific installation method that allows FL Studio to run from a USB flash drive, external hard drive, or a folder on your desktop without writing registry entries to the host computer.
