Thanks for trying the Osaurus for Windows beta! This is our first release for Windows, and your reports will shape what we fix and build next.

**This category is the place to report Windows bugs and share feedback.**

## Getting the beta

Use the Microsoft Store link in your beta invite email.

**Requirements**

- Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64
- 16 GB RAM minimum (32 GB recommended)
- About 20 GB of free disk space
- To run local models, a GPU with 12 GB or more of VRAM (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel)

You don’t need a strong GPU to get started. Osaurus sets you up with **Osaurus Cloud** during onboarding, including complimentary credits and no sign-up. You can add local models later in Settings.

## What’s in this beta

This first beta covers the core of Osaurus: agents, chat, local models and cloud providers, the local API for other developer tools, and agents that can run commands and work with your files **with your permission**.

Some macOS features aren’t in the Windows beta yet, **memory** among them. We’re adding them over time.

## Reporting a bug

1. **Search first.** If someone has already reported it, add your details and a like to their topic instead of opening a new one.
2. **Open one topic per issue** in [Windows Beta](https://community.osaurus.ai/c/support/windows-beta). The new topic form starts with a template. Please fill it in, especially the **steps to reproduce** and your **Osaurus version**.
3. **Add screenshots or logs** if you have them, and **remove API keys, tokens and personal information** before posting.
4. **Watch your topic.** We may ask follow-up questions.

When a reply fixes your problem, mark it as the solution so the next person can find it.

## Other feedback

- **General impressions, including what you like, what confuses you and what feels slow:** post in [Windows Beta](https://community.osaurus.ai/c/support/windows-beta) with the `feedback` tag.
- **Ideas for new features:** [Feature Requests](https://community.osaurus.ai/c/feature-requests).
- **How-to questions:** [Support](https://community.osaurus.ai/c/support), tagged `windows`.

## Known issues

Nothing listed yet. We’ll keep this section updated as reports come in, so check here before filing.

Thanks for helping us make Osaurus great on Windows. 🦕
