AIDA64 8.20 builds on the massive technological leap introduced with AIDA64 8.00. The transition to our new 64-bit engine opened the door to faster performance, broader hardware support, and a more modern foundation for the future. Since then, thousands of users have shared their feedback, and 8.20 delivers on it. With significant SensorPanel enhancements, smoother multi-display operation, expanded hardware support, and refined benchmarks, this release makes AIDA64 smarter, faster, and more adaptable than ever.

Compatibility with previous Windows versions

The move to a modern compiler and native 64-bit binaries has also resulted in a significant shift: AIDA64 v8.00 will no longer support 32-bit Windows versions or Windows XP x64. While this decision was necessary to modernize the software and enable the new features, it marks a clear direction towards supporting the latest operating systems and hardware.

Check legacy compatibility of AIDA64 versions.

Best Practices for Upgrading

Moving to AIDA64 v8.00 is straightforward, but there are a few important steps to follow. Our migration guide
highlights the required adjustments, including copying INI files from the old Program Files (x86) path, ensuring compatibility with new Unicode reports, and verifying system prerequisites.
