Just wanting to push a little..."isn't supported" doesn't always mean "won't work", just that if one gets into trouble, Symantec might not help. :)

SO wondering if anyone has tried to install in win 7 64-bit.

Thank you.

Backups are your company's last defence against total loss of data and possible bankruptcy. If you are willing to take the risk that you may not be able to restore your backups, go ahead and install BE 12 on Win 7.

BE 12.0 is ancient now...at least 8 years old. Windows 7 isn't as old and therefore won't run on it.

Best bet is a server-class OS.

Thanks!
