Multiple features and prevention policy options are inoperative on ARM64-based hosts. See Release Notes | Support for
ARM64-based hosts running Windows 11 (/s/article/Release-Notes-Support-for-ARM64-based-hosts-running-Windows-11)
and Release Notes Support for ARM64-based hosts running Windows 10 (/s/article/Release-Notes-Support-for-ARM64-

All pre-GA versions/builds of Windows – Windows Insider Preview, beta, etc – unless specifically stated in a Release Note.
Windows Storage Server 2019/2016 - these are OEM versions for 3rd-party storage solutions
Windows Server IoT 2022/2019, which are OEM versions for appliances

Windows Embedded Standard 7 is unsupported. This version is independent from Windows 7 Embedded POS Ready,
which is the only Embedded version we do support.
Windows 10 & 11 running in S mode (/s/article/ka16T000000wxiWQAQ)
Additional Notes
The Falcon Sensor for Windows is hardware-agnostic, so long as the host is running an Intel-, AMD-, or ARM-based
processor (Windows 11 with sensor 6.38.15205 and higher)
Distinctions for Windows Server 2008 / R2 SP1:
The Falcon Sensor is not supported on Windows Server 2008, which is based on the Vista Kernel (not supported).
The Falcon Sensor is supported1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1, which is based on the Windows 7 kernel. 32-bit
support is not provided because the supported Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 does not come from Microsoft with
a 32-bit edition; it comes 64-bit only.
Distinction for Windows 7 Embedded POS Ready / Windows Embedded Standard 7:
These are different versions/editions of Windows
Windows 7 Embedded POS Ready is independent of Windows 7, although both are supported at this time with different
nuances (see above).
Windows 7 Embedded POS Ready is independent of Windows Embedded Standard 7; the former is supported, the latter
is not

Linux
This section discusses Linux operating systems only. Linux support is highly dependent on the kernels used, support of which
is updated frequently with new Sensor releases. Therefore, while we can list here the general distributions we are supporting,
you will need to consult the Falcon Sensor for Linux deployment guide's section, Appendix A – Supported Kernels, to ensure
your kernel is supported; find this guide in your Falcon console at Support and resources → Support → Documentation →
Sensor Deployment. A sensor running on a supported Linux distribution but an unsupported kernel will enter Reduced
Functionality Mode (RFM) (/s/article/Reduced-Functionality-Mode-for-Linux-Sensors); Linux sensors in RFM will only send
SensorHeartBeat events at this time.
Supported
We support x86_64 and Graviton 64 versions of the Linux OSes listed below, with supported kernels
We support ARM64 on the Linux OSes listed in the 'ARM 64' column below, with supported kernels
We do not support 32-bit Linux.
