# .NET 5 and Windows Embedded Standard 7 support

I would like to know if .NET 5 will officially supports Windows Embedded Standard 7. I know, the Windows 7 extended support period has ended a while ago but there are still appliances running on Windows Embedded Standard 7 that also receive (paid) support. We are working with this kind of system in an industrial context and are currently developing our strategy to modernize our .NET (Framework) based software.

I was able to successfully run a net5.0 application on a .NET 5 Preview 8 installation on Windows Embedded Standard 7 (with "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3" and KB2533623 installed as mentioned on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/windows?tabs=netcore31). (I had to use KBKB4457144 since KB2533623 is no longer available, see https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/20459)

I would like to know if this is a mere coincidence and might break in the near future or if it is because Windows Embedded Standard 7 is officially supported. In the latter case, I am interested in the support period, if any.
