As the question suggest I need to know what versions of Windows Server will MySQL 5.5 run on. I have looked online but cannot find much for 5.5. The version 5.7 seems to be run on Windows Server 2016 and higher right up to 2022.

I have to use MySQL 5.5 as that is what the vendor of the program has said.

If you have a link to any information saying what version of windows Server MySQL 5.5 will run on I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for any help

    An old one? :-) Sorry that was not meant to be nasty (and welcome to dba.se BTW). MySQL 5.5 is EOL for > 2.5 years now - so why are you running it?

  • Because the vendor of one of our systems only supports up to 5.5. and we need to move to windows 2016 or 2019 server.

    Well, it went EOL in 2018, so 2016 should work for you - I don't really know - this is just a guess. I would suggest though that, in future, you have a clause written into your supply contracts whereby your supplier is obliged to use current versions of software. This is a frequently recurring problem we get here!

  • MySQL has "always" run on "all" Windows versions. (It even runs on Atari, I think.)
