Geo SCADA 2025 Operating System Support

It is strongly recommended that systems running on server hardware need to use the Windows Server operating system. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks and so are better suited for larger SCADA Server or Web Server systems with more than two clients.

Systems running on desktop hardware should run desktop operating systems such as Windows 11. Desktop operating systems are designed for user interaction on the computer on which they are installed.

Desktop operating systems should not be used for SCADA Servers or Web Servers with more than two clients as the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.

Refer to the following table for supported Operating System versions:

	64-Bit Operating Systems (ViewX client, SCADA Server and Web Server)
Desktop Hardware	Windows 11 (Professional and Enterprise editions) Geo SCADA 2025 is not directly supported on Windows 10, although we intend to publish test results against Windows Extended Security Updates (ESU) if they become available to us.
Server Hardware	Windows Server 2025 (Standard and Datacenter editions)  Windows Server 2022 (Standard and Datacenter editions)  Windows Server 2019 (Standard and Datacenter editions)

Use of Geo SCADA WebX requires Internet Explorer 11 for web-based operation which has been obsoleted by Microsoft. You may be able to use Edge in 'IE Mode' for WebX. For Web use we recommend the Virtual ViewX User Interface which is accessible from any up-to-date HTML5 browser on various types of desktop, laptop, tablet or large format phone.

Windows 11 versions supported are limited to those within Microsoft's support policy for Pro and Enterprise at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

The original WebX is still available for 64-bit server computers.
