Question on Infor/OS stability under Windows 7 client (any known issues?)

Our organization is moving from Windows 7 client to Windows 10 throughout the year of 2019. We'd like to get Infor/OS into production within the next 3 - 6 months (not 2020 when the Windows 10 transition wraps up). Anyone actually running Infor/OS on Windows 7 clients?

If so, can you tell me:

1. How long have you been running it?

2. On ~ how many PCs?

3. Any known issues you ran into?

I should also mention that Infor has stated support for Windows 7 client was deprecated (dropped) as of version 12.0.7.

I' have been running Infor Os from the beginning (12.0.8) and followed every version.

I'd say that the windows 7 clients will be the least of your problems.

We never had any trouble with it, it runs in a browser.

That being said, we did have issues, but only with the OS server.

1. The first issue we encountered was that Infor OS exploded our database.

The log files grew at a rate of 10TB/hr.

The only way to solve this was a complet reinstall.

2. secondly, ION kept locks in our LN database preventing proper backup.

3. We used Sharepoint as a backend for IDM.

Very bad idea, it stops working after 5000 documents, no workaround possible.

Another complete reinstall.

To summarize, the clients work but beware of the server.
