.. note::

If your x86_64 CPU does not support SSE4.2, you can still run the 32-bit Godot
executable which only has a SSE2 requirement (all x86_64 CPUs support SSE2).

While supported on Linux, we have no official minimum requirements for running on
rv64 (RISC-V), ppc64 & ppc32 (PowerPC), and loongarch64. In addition you must
compile the editor for that platform (as well as export templates) yourself,

.. note::

Vulkan drivers for these Windows versions are known to have issues with
memory leaks. As a result, it's recommended to stick to the Compatibility
renderer when running Godot on a Windows version older than 10.
