* Backward Compatibility - When an ESET application version is released, ESET guarantees compatibility of earlier operating system versions released within a specified period into the past. For example, Endpoint Version 8.x released during December 2020 is compatible with Windows 10 versions released up to 30 months earlier (June 2018) or since Windows 10 version 1803.
** Forward Compatibility - ESET guarantees compatibility of future operating system versions with the latest ESET application versions. For example, Endpoint Version 7.3 is compatible with Windows 10 version 20H2.
*** Version 12.1 is the last application version to support Windows 10 32-bit. More information about Windows 10 support phase out.
