# System Requirements

Before you install Veeam MP for Hyper-V, make sure that your environment meets the following hardware and software requirements.

::: note

1. Only English (US) Windows OS is fully QA tested for Veeam components. However Veeam will support customers using any other-language OS, to reproduce problems and establish if root cause is a language-related issue.
2. Any system configuration which is not supported by the platform vendor (Microsoft, Hyper-V) is also unsupported by Veeam.
