Local Client Updates From Cerner in regards to Windows 10: • For Millennium 2018.

Local Client Updates From Cerner in regards to Windows 10: • For Millennium 2018. 01, Windows 7 reaches end of extended support and life on Jan. 1, 2020. Cerner would identify Windows 7 as a thin client via Citrix receiver configuration as a very low risk item. Although the configuration was not tested during release testing (as it was not the minimum), Cerner would provide commercially reasonable best effort support during your TP client phase (through end of calendar year 2019) and it’s low risk for the following reasons: 1. 2. 3. 4. Windows 7 is still supported through Microsoft and we have a good supplier relationship with Microsoft relative to incident or problem management that may come up. Citrix receiver versions through current still support Windows 7. Traditional solution issues in this space are typically identified through local install testing, thin client (once supported) doesn’t change frequently with new solution releases. The current 4 2018. 01 TPs are live or going live in Windows 7 for now, with plans to upgrade later. 12
