 ### What is the minimum supported zsh version?
 
-Anything below 5.2 definitely won't work. 5.4 definitely will.
+ZSH 5.1 or newer should work.

+However, there are too many version, OS, platform, terminal and option configurations to test. If
+Powerlevel10k doesn't work for you, please open an issue.
