Veloce is designed for the Microsoft Windows environment and will operate on a 64-bit edition of Windows. This makes Veloce "hardware-agnostic", which means it will work on any hardware that can run Microsoft Windows, as long as it meets the minimum performance requirements of the operating system.
The table below lists all currently supported operating systems with their projected End-of-Life date issued by Microsoft.
IMPORTANT! Operating systems that have reached their End-of-Life are not listed here, as PayFacto cannot guarantee reliable operation with deprecated operating systems.
While some deprecated operating systems may still work with Veloce, they are no longer supported by Microsoft and therefore no longer receive security updates.
As such, deprecated operating systems represent a liability which may compromise the POS system's security.
In addition to the general End-of-Life date issued for Desktop operating systems, Microsoft also issues End-of-Life dates for specific patch levels. This is done by Microsoft to ensure that users keep their operating systems up-to-date.
While a POS, Backup Server or Auxiliary Back-Office would work perfectly on a server-oriented operating system, PayFacto does not recommend doing so, unless your operations specifically require this.
* Microsoft lists this date as the end of "Mainstream support" for this Windows version. Mainstream support is typically followed by an extended support period, however it is not listed on the Microsoft Lifecycle site for the time being.
Microsoft Windows 11 is the latest release of the Windows family of operating systems. It was released on October 5th, 2021. A full test suite has been run on PayFacto's POS products to ensure compatibility.
At this time, Microsoft has not issued official end-of-life (EOL) dates for the Windows 11 family of products. The only EOL dates available so far are for patch levels. These dates will be updated when Microsoft releases new feature updates for Windows 11.
