I’m trying to assess the browser situation with respect to Microsoft.
I need to provide input to my management about the browsers to be supported in future.
Came across some information on MS site which I’m pasting below.
What I’m trying to understand is that from Jan-12, 2016, will Internet Explorer 9 & 10 not be supported on Windows 7?
Pasted below is an extract from site:
“Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates.”
And the oldest they’ll support for Windows Desktop OS is IE9 on Vista SP2; for Windows 7 SP1 it’ll be IE11.
Their guideline:
Windows Platform | Internet Explorer Version |
Windows Vista SP2 | Internet Explorer 9 |
Windows Server 2008 SP2 | Internet Explorer 9 |
Windows 7 SP1 | Internet Explorer 11 |
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 | Internet Explorer 11 |
Windows 8.1 | Internet Explorer 11 |
Windows Server 2012 | Internet Explorer 10 |
Windows Server 2012 R2 | Internet Explorer 11 |
