Have to switch to Windows 11 will drivers and gearbox work?

My current computer will not run Windows 11 so eventually I will have to buy a new one with Windows 11. I have decided to make the switch now instead of later on. But I got this feeling that the Line 6 POD X3 drivers and Gearbox are not going to want to run on Windows 11.

 

I will certainly try and install and check it out.

 

Watcha think?

Before you install things, check the OS compatibility that is listed with each piece of software in the Downloads section. If it says the software is compatible with Windows 11 then proceed to install. If not there’s probably no point. You can do this before you get a new computer.

If it helps with your decision, I've been lucky enough to run GearBox (latest win64 install) on every windows version since XP and have never had an issue. Everything from a GuitarPort, TonePort/PodStudio, to XT Pro, X3 Live/Bean, etc... Just make sure you install all the applicable drivers for your hardware.

 

It's of course not a guarantee, but I love the UI of GearBox so much that I've never really let it go.  Good luck!

No.  L6 doesn't support any of their older gear for W11.  I have a new laptop.  I just borrowed a POD HD500X for church.  Drivers won't install.  Monkey won't let me log in.  I bought an Amplify 150, brand new, when they came out.  3 months later, it wouldn't work like it was supposed to and L6 would not respond to any emails.  Not a good good company for customer support.  They LOVE to take your money though.
