Apache OpenOffice 4.1 requires one of the following operating systems:
* '''Microsoft Windows''' XP, 2003, 2012, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11

For more details, see [https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html https://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_aoo41.html]
Some features (wizards, some accessibility features, and the HSQLDB database engine) require that a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) be installed on your computer. Although Apache OpenOffice will work without Java support, those features will not be available. The current versions of Apache OpenOffice work reliably with a variety of JREs including Oracle Java, versions 6, 7 and 8, openJDK, versions 6, 7 and 8 and AdoptOpenJDK, versions 8 and 11. You should use the most recent version of whichever JRE you choose for the best security and reliability.
| For Microsoft Windows,a 32-bit JRE MUST be installed, even on a 64-bit machine
