I am on Windows 8.1, it should be fine right?
Windows 8.1 mainstream support was ended in 2018, please update/upgrade to Windows 10.
This can be done within Windows Update settings.
It is free to do so and we highly recommend it, as your device will be more secure from vulnerabilities and be able to use the latest version of Drawboard too.
