X2Go Client is currently only released as a 32-bit x86 build. Both 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86 versions of Windows are supported via this build.

• Windows XP 32-bit SP3 (deprecated)
• Windows XP 64-bit SP2 (deprecated)
• Windows Vista SP2
• Windows 7 SP1
• Windows 8.1 (with “Update 1”)
• Windows 10 (1607)

These versions of Windows without the latest (specified) service pack / major update may be compatible, but are rarely (if ever) tested. They are not officially supported.

Corresponding server versions of Windows are also supported, but receive minimal testing:

• Windows Server 2003 SP2 (deprecated)
• Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (deprecated)
• Windows Server 2008 SP2
• Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2 (with or without “Update 1”)
• Windows Server Technical Preview

Any incompatibility or bug with a specific version of Windows should be reported via our bug-tracker.

Deprecated versions of Windows are going to become incompatible in the coming months. Cygwin has already dropped support for them, and upgrading all the Cygwin components is planned for the coming months.
