So I have Java installed on this machine, and it's up to date according to the settings and downloading a new version.  But Megamek says it's outdated, and I tried to install Java 11 without any success.  Does anyone know how to download Java 11 and install it properly, and walk me through the process?  I'd like to get back to designing BattleMechs again.

Installed that successfully, restarted the computer, still getting the Java 11 is required error for MM.

Assuming Windows, usually that means you skipped a step, like one of the restarts, and your PATH variable didn't get updated. Make sure you follow that guide to the letter, including removing any currently installed instances of Java.

I missed Step 6 of the install, that did the trick.  Thanks!
