Microsoft Windows NT
Microsoft NT is not supported for the dc7700 series. Customers may experience some success with running
Windows NT on the dc7700 but there will be limitations. Windows NT was retired by Microsoft from the PC OEM
channel on 30 June 2002 with all maintenance support dropped on 30 June 2003. Most hardware technology
introduced after 30 June 2003 is not supported by Microsoft or Intel. They will no longer provide the required
software updates to make this operating system function. Please refer to the HP white paper Operating System and
Device Driver Support for HP Business Desktop Computers, part number 372899-001.
