Is there software only for Win7 Prof?

Question

Microsoft

Good afternoon.
Our company participates in one tender and it says that Win7 is a prerequisite, like they have software that only works under it. So this confused me. As far as I know, if there is software for Win, then it will work even under Ultimate, even under Starter, or am I wrong and there is some specific software?

Answer 1

Our company participates in one tender and it says that Win7 is a prerequisite, like they have software that only works under it.

My vision is that someone really needs a certain supplier to win the tender. The reasons can be different - from the development of budgets by respected people to the unwillingness to change an existing supplier.

Answer 2

There are differences between win7home premiuim and win7 professional .
Purely theoretically, a situation is possible when, on the one hand, there is some kind of piece of iron, for which there is firewood only on win7 and the program uses EFS and / or eats more than 16GB of memory

Answer 3

there is server software that will only work on server operating systems, there is also old software that may not work on new systems, everything else is nonsense

Answer 4

Well, I don’t know about software, but maybe they need a domain, although in this case Ultimate should be fine. But in fact, as a system administrator in a government organization, I can believe it. There is so much crooked software that is written on the knee by crooked progers in some department that you are simply amazed ...

Answer 5

if there is software for Win, will it work even under Ultimate, even under Starter, or am I wrong and there is some specific software?

There is also specific software. For example, Samsung has an application for working with a TV (content broadcast). And so in system requirements this program under Win 7 Home Premium and above.

Answer 6

Theoretically, it is possible to check inside the application on which OS it is running.
So, with a certain desire, or in a situation written off by @throughtheether , you can put a stub from running on other editions.
