The XenData6 Workstation software runs on 64 bit Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and for Mac users, the system is compatible with both Boot Camp and VM Fusion. The XenData6 Workstation software makes the system extremely easy to use, allowing all file archive and restore operations to be made via copy and paste or drag and drop.
