OS support

Windows: Windows 10

Linux: UbuntuFedoraArch Linux
Notes: AMD lists Windows 10 64-bit, RHEL and Ubuntu support. First-generation Ryzen mobile processors (Raven Ridge) do not appear on Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2 supported-processor lists, and 26H2 keeps the same requirements, so Windows 10 is the newest officially supported Windows release. Mainstream Linux distributions run on Zen without restriction, and ChromeOS Flex installs on generic 64-bit x86 hardware.
