On which versions of Windows does RPM run?

Q: Which versions of Windows support RPM Remote Print Manager® (“RPM”)?

A: Our policy is, and has been, to support RPM on any version of Windows supported by Microsoft. There may be limits to “any,” but any mainstream version should work.

“End of Life” refers to Microsoft’s published end-of-support date.

Windows 7January 14, 2020As far as we know, RPM still works on Windows 7
Server 2008 (including R2)January 14, 2020Server 2008 is equivalent to Vista. As far as we know, R2 still works.
Windows 8January 12, 2016We’re not sure if anyone is still using Windows 8 with RPM.
Windows 8.1January 9, 2018Same as Windows 8

Server 2019January 9, 2024We test with Server 2019 from time to time but don’t run it in-house
Windows 1121H2 is different than 22H2Besides the UI changes, the primary difference with Windows 11 seems to require newer device drivers. Windows 11 is the primary platform used in our office for development and support
Server 2022Mainstream: Oct 13, 2026 Extended: Oct 14, 2031No known issues exist that are specific to this platform.
Server 2025Mainstream: Oct 9, 2029 Extended: Oct 10, 2034No known issues exist that are specific to this platform.

We do our best to support popular versions of Windows even after their support officially expires. However, this depends entirely on Microsoft providing library support for these platforms. Without that, we can’t build a working release of RPM.
