## OS Compatibility

## Windows

Works great. With Windows, if you get it connected with video signal and data, then you can use it out of the box with no drivers because it relies on the built-in Windows drivers.

## Pen does not work on macOS

* The pen does not work at all on macOS.
* This is because this is a "driverless drawing tablet," and unlike Windows, macOS does not have built-in drivers for drawing tablets.
