The following operating systems have been tested using the procedures included in this guide. The table shows the example sizing and login duration that we achieved in our testing.

Only 64-bit operating systems where tested, but any 32-bit operating system that has a corresponding 64-bit version listed should work in the same way. All operating systems were tested with all updates available as of January 2020. For a complete list of supported Windows 10 operating systems, see the VMware knowledge-base article Supported versions of Windows 10 on Horizon Agent Including All VDI Clones (Full Clones, Instant Clones, and Linked Clones on Horizon 7) (2149393).

Note: Most screenshots in this guide are from Windows 10 1803. If you have a different OS version, some screens might look slightly different, but in general they are quite similar.

Important: Use an OS version that has a Microsoft Windows volume license key using the Key Management Service (KMS). KMS treats each activated clone as a computer with a newly issued license. In a production environment, you must activate Windows. In an evaluation environment, you can create the VM and log in without activating Windows.
