## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this reader work with NHS smart cards**
A: Yes, this card is supported. But you might need to install some NHS card reading software. You have to check that with the NHS card info.

**Q: Does it work with windows 11?**
A: Hi,
The Datasheet specifies compatibility with the following operating systems:

Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/Server 2012/Server 2008R2
Windows CE (6/7) depending on hardware
Linux Debian 6.0+ / Ubuntu 11.04+/ Fedora 15+; Open SUSE 11.4+
Mac OS X; Android™

Windows 11 is not specified but I would expect readers compatible with Windows 10 to maintain this functionality into Windows 11.

**Q: Can anyone help me please...Can anyone tell me how to download the program for Linux as it doesnt do anything when plugged in**
A: It really depends what card are you trying to read. Try searching for software for your smart card type. Or check with card issuer what software to use.

**Q: is there any software to allow me to logon to windows/ Mac?**
A: It should self-install drivers when you plug it into an online computer. There was no hassle in my experience with a PC. 

I used Horizon client to read the card, because that's my organisation's policy. Just ask the IT service ay your workplace, if that applies.
