Installable images for every WatuOS edition. Each one carries its applications, the database and the licence agent — so the machine you install it on needs nothing from the internet to become a working system. Images are for WatuFlex clients and for organisations on the free 30-day trial: sign in to download.

Always check the image before you write it to a USB stick. A truncated download installs perfectly happily and fails a week later.

WatuOS should refuse to install below the minimum rather than produce a slow system and an unhappy customer. These three are not negotiable at any installation.
| Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|
| i3-class processor | i5-class, 2016 or later |
| 8 GB RAM | 16 GB where several applications run together |
| 240 GB SSD | 256 GB SSD or larger |
| Wired Ethernet | Wired Ethernet, fixed local address |
| TPM 2.0 optional | TPM 2.0 enabled in BIOS — Intel PTT or AMD fTPM |
Ex-corporate mini machines from about 2016 onward are the sweet spot, because corporate buyers required TPM 2.0: HP EliteDesk Mini and Elite Slice, Dell OptiPlex Micro, Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny.
