  • Unless otherwise specified, all updates, editions, and Service Packs (SPs) for a listed Windows version are supported.

As Microsoft releases new Service Packs for Windows, these requirements may need to be re-evaluated, as the newest Service Pack may require an updated version of the Symantec product.
