LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT software downloads

The last time the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT software was updated was in 2013 when we launched its successor, the EV3. Since then, we haven’t officially supported the NXT software and can’t guarantee it’ll work on newer systems.

Thankfully, the EV3 software is compatible with the NXT Intelligent Brick and components, although Bluetooth isn’t supported, and the NXT firmware can’t be updated or reset.

If you’d like to download the NXT software, you can use the links below to get the final version (v2.1f6 for Education users and v2.0f6 for Home users):
