I just bought the DDj SX, great unit btw! I installed DJ 1.0 on my laptop, it worked fine. However, I am installing DJ 1.1 now, and it says it needs a windows 7 pc. I understand vista sucks, really slow, but I can not buy another laptop at the moment. Why is there no older windows support though?

I was running vista and just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. The Microsoft website is currently selling the electronic version for only $39.... Its worth a try. I cant see why Windows 8 wouldn't work....... Good luck

So if I understand these posts correctly, Serato DJ 1.1 will not work with Vista.?
On the serato.com site under 'Minimum Specifications,' it says, "Please Note: Currently we do not support Windows 8 for Serato DJ."
I'm in the same boat as many of you (having Vista). I can't see upgrading to Win 8 if Serato is clearly saying it doesn't support it. Also, I can't justify losing the ability of using my other currently installed software, which works just fine in Vista, but won't work with Win 8.

no official word but from experimenting it actually works but serato just hasn't made it official that it's supported, windows 8 is just a dressed up version on windows 7 so you should be fine
