# Rhino 6 or 7 doesn't load RhinoArtisan. What can I do?

There are three reasons why Rhino does not load RhinoArtisan:

### 1. We are not using Rhinoceros 6.0 or 7.0 for Windows:

Let's check what Rhino version we are using. To do this, we will open Rhino,  in the menu Help > About Rhinoceros.

### 2. Rhino is not updated

Every 2-3 months, Rhino release new updates with improvements and bug fixes. Let's update to the latest version, it is free.

In Rhino, in the Help menu > Check for Updates...

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend checking the **Enable updates and usage statistics** option. You will check for new updates every time you run Rhino.

### Rhino Installation Problem

In some cases, there may be problems installing Rhino, so at this point, we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling it. We will have a clean installation, which will make Rhino run much faster and be able to load plugins.

To uninstall Rhino, please check Rhinoceros documentation. <https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/uninstalling>
