For the latest information on what operating systems are supported by each software package, see the Release Notes for that package.

In general, Silicon Labs will support legacy operating systems until the tools no longer enable support for these operating systems. For example, Microsoft no longer provides tools to develop or WHQL certify Windows XP drivers.

Windows

For Windows, Silicon Labs will actively support a version of Windows (i.e. XP, 7, 10) until the end of Microsoft's mainstream support window. At that time, Silicon Labs will support issues on these operating systems on a case-by-case basis. Contact your sales representative for assistance in these situations.
