# .NET Supported OS Policy
.NET is [supported by Microsoft](microsoft-support.md) on multiple operating systems.
A more restrictive policy is used for [.NET container images](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/blob/main/documentation/supported-platforms.md).
.NET is supported on multiple operating systems per [.NET release policies](release-policies.md).
## Supported .NET versions
The following documents describe supported operating systems:
* [.NET 7 supported OS versions](release-notes/7.0/supported-os.md)
* [.NET 6 supported OS versions](release-notes/6.0/supported-os.md)
* [.NET Core 3.1 supported OS versions](release-notes/3.1/3.1-supported-os.md)

## Lifecycle Policy
Each supported operating system has a lifecycle defined by its sponsor organization (for example, Microsoft, Red Hat, Debian, or Apple). The .NET team applies each of those lifecycle schedules to inform adding and removing support for operating system versions. Support is typically removed when an operating system goes out of mainline support, at which point we stop testing and supporting it, and support documents are updated to match.
Operating system policies and schedules do not always align well with the annual .NET schedule. We have sometimes supported both [Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-7-eos-faq/windows-7-extended-security-updates-faq) and Linux versions after mainline (and possibly free) support has lapsed as a service to users to provide more time to transition to newer releases. The previous support documents are kept up to date and provide accurate information you can use to make your own support decisions.
