    Product integration and support

    The following table lists version 7.0.9 product integration and support information:

    Desktop operating systems
    • Microsoft Windows 11 (64-bit)
    • Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    • Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    • Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)

    FortiClient does not support zero trust network access (ZTNA) TCP forwarding on Windows 7.

    Server operating systems
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2022
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2019
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2016

    FortiClient 7.0.9 does not support Windows Server Core.

    For Microsoft Windows Server, FortiClient (Windows) supports the Vulnerability Scan, SSL VPN, Web Filter, and antivirus (AV) features, including obtaining a Sandbox signature package for AV scanning.

    Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and 2019 support ZTNA with FortiClient (Windows) 7.0.9.

    As FortiClient does not support Application Firewall on a Windows Server machine, do not install the Application Firewall module on a Windows Server machine. Doing so may cause performance issues.
