Greetings,

One of my client is using Paraview 5.0.1 on windows 7. Soon, he’ll migrate over to windows 10. He wishes to keep using this version. I would like to know if version 5.0.1 is officially supported, or at least compatible with Windows 10.

Regards,

Officially supported? No, 5.0 hasn’t been supported for a number of years (basically since 5.2 was released in Nov 2016). However, I can’t think of any reason off the top of my head why it would be incompatible with Windows 10.

Thanks for your answer.  
Just to be sure, I’d like to know if you/someone actually tested it ? Or if there’s a confirmation from one of the devs?

Regards.
