Even though Microsoft ended support for HyperTerminal a long time ago, Hilgraeve is still making the app.
In today’s guide, we’ll show you how to download and install HyperTerminal on your Windows 10 or 11 PC.
Let’s get right to it.
How do I download HyperTerminal?
1. Get the HyperTerminal file from Windows XP
If you have access to an active Windows XP PC, you can find the files as listed below:
Also, if you have a CD that contains Windows XP installation files, this would do the trick. All you need to do is copy two important HyperTerminal files and paste them on whichever version of Windows OS you are running on your target PC.
2. HyperTerminal Private Edition
You can also go in for the HyperTerminal Private Edition, which is the latest iteration of the program by the developers, Hillgraeve, themselves.
It will cost you $69.99. Also, you can get the HyperTerminal Private Edition free trial version in order to check if that is what you are looking for or if you would like to stick with the Windows XP version.

3. HyperACCESS
You can also download the advanced version or successor to HyperTerminal, the HyperACCESS from the official website.
It has a very steep price of $169.99. HyperACCESS contains some powerful features, such as additional terminal emulators, customization, and robust scripting capabilities.

4. Download PuTTY
If you do not want to spend hundreds of dollars to download HyperTerminal on Windows 10, you can go for PuTTY.
PuTTY is the best alternative to HyperTerminal on modern PCs. It is free and open-source, which brings the combination of Telnet and SSH abilities. It is originally developed by Simon Tatham.
However, in order to use PuTTY, you need to have a COM port on your PC. If you have that, then you can enjoy the features of PuTTY that offer a simplified design interface.
⇒Get PuTTY
While HyperTerminal is no longer built into Windows, you can still get the HyperTerminal Private Edition from the official Hillgrove website, or alternatively, copy the necessary files from a Windows XP installation.
Both allow you to continue using HyperTerminal’s functionality on newer systems. You can also use an alternative tool instead, such as PuTTy. If you have any more questions, leave them in the comments.
