  • While some older legacy versions of GlobalSearch may function on newer Windows versions. Older versions are not tested on newer Windows platforms.

We don’t recommend installing older Windows versions for older software versions either. We would prefer you keep your Windows and related GlobalSearch\GlobalCapture versions with in their respective use range. Most customers will be recommended to migrate to a new Windows server as we don’t recommend in place Windows upgrades. To be clear, we DON’T recommend an in place upgrade for example from 2016 to 2022, you should migrate your GlobalSearch to a new Windows platform using our migration guide.
