TightVNC is a free remote control software package. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer.

What Windows versions does TightVNC support?

TightVNC runs basically on any version of Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported):

• Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10,
• corresponding versions of Windows Server.

On Windows XP, you should have the latest Service Pack installed. Windows CE systems are not supported.

There are no minimum disk space or RAM requirements. TightVNC uses so little space and memory that it can run anywhere Windows is running.

Previous TightVNC version 1.2 and 1.3 have some limitations, however. It is not possible to use TightVNC Server as a system service on Windows Vista / Windows 7 in this case.
