Installation

Chordious was written in C# and should run on any Windows machine that supports .NET 6.0: Windows 7 SP1+, 8.1, 10, and 11. It has been officially tested on Windows 10 and 11.

Not sure which version to install? Most modern PCs are x64 so try that first, otherwise the x86 version is provided for older computers.

Chordious is now available on the Microsoft Store.

Select the Microsoft Store button above.
Select Get to launch the Microsoft Store app.
Select Get or Install from the Microsoft Store app.

The Microsoft Store will keep you up to date with the latest official version of Chordious.

Windows Setup MSI (Windows 7 SP1+ / 8.1 / 10)
