ArcGIS products will not be supported on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 after January 2020, due to Microsoft’s extended support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 ending on January 14, 2020. Esri highly recommends you plan to move to a later version of Windows, well before the January 14, 2020 date.
