| Professional Operating Systems | Consumer Operating Systems |
| Windows 11 Pro† or Windows Server 2025 or Windows Server 2022 | Windows 11 Home† |
†
Based on stable feature updates.

Considering this, we have ensured that SES Software is fully tested on a supported feature update version that has been available for a few months. Technically, SES Software should work satisfactorily on all supported feature updates.
About Windows 11 Preview Updates
SES Software tests and validations are done on production releases of Windows 11 and its feature updates. This excludes preproduction code that can become available via Windows Insider Program, so those system updates delivered as Preview Updates should be avoided to maintain the expected functional environment for SES Software programs.
