Windows lifecycle support

1. Use up-to-date operating system versions

To ensure that the BMD software can be installed and operated properly, we recommend using an up-to-date operating system version. In any case, you should install the latest Windows updates for the operating system.

Once Microsoft ends support for an operating system, BMD will no longer perform any detailed functional tests either.

The list below shows the currently supported operating systems and the ones that are no longer supported.

This list is not a complete list of all products.

Find detailed information including the support dates and the end of support for the respective product on this site provided by Microsoft.
