# Installation Prerequisites (Windows)

You must perform the following steps before installing ROCm and check if the
system meets all the requirements to proceed with the installation.

## Confirm the System Is Supported

The ROCm installation is supported only on specific host architectures, Windows
SKUs and update versions.

### Check the Windows SKU and Update Version on Your System

This section discusses obtaining information about the host architecture,
Windows SKU and update version.

#### Command Line Check

Verify the Windows SKU using the following steps:

1. To obtain the Linux distribution information, type the following command on
   your system from a PowerShell Command Line Interface (CLI):

   ```pwsh
   Get-ComputerInfo | Format-Table CsSystemType,OSName,OSDisplayVersion
   ```

2. Confirm that the obtained information matches with those listed in
   {ref}`supported_skus`.

   **Example:** Running the command above on a Windows system may result in the
   following output:

   ```output
   CsSystemType OsName                   OSDisplayVersion
   ------------ ------                   ----------------
   x64-based PC Microsoft Windows 11 Pro 22H2
   ```

#### Graphical Check

1. Open the Setting app.
