# Getting started with App-V for Windows 10
# Getting started with App-V for Windows client
>Applies to: Windows 10, version 1607
**Applies to**:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
> [!NOTE]
> [!INCLUDE [Application Virtualization will be end of life in April 2026](../includes/app-v-end-life-statement.md)]
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows 10 delivers Win32 applications to users as virtual applications. Virtual applications are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to users as a service in real time and on an as-needed basis. Users launch virtual applications from familiar access points and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) for Windows delivers Win32 applications to users as virtual applications. Virtual applications are installed on centrally managed servers and delivered to users as a service in real time and on an as-needed basis. Users launch virtual applications from familiar access points and interact with them as if they were installed locally.
With the release of Windows 10, version 1607, App-V is included with the [Windows 10 for Enterprise edition](https://www.microsoft.com/WindowsForBusiness/windows-for-enterprise). If you're new to Windows 10 and App-V, you’ll need to download, activate, and install server- and client-side components to start delivering virtual applications to users. To learn what you need to know before getting started with App-V, see the [Application Virtualization (App-V) overview](appv-for-windows.md).
Starting with Windows 10 version 1607, App-V is included with the [Windows 10 for Enterprise edition](https://www.microsoft.com/WindowsForBusiness/windows-for-enterprise). If you're new to Windows client and App-V, you’ll need to download, activate, and install server- and client-side components to start delivering virtual applications to users. To learn what you need to know before getting started with App-V, see the [Application Virtualization (App-V) overview](appv-for-windows.md).
If you’re already using App-V, performing an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 on user devices automatically installs the App-V client and migrates users’ App-V applications and settings. For more information about how to configure an existing App-V installation after upgrading user devices to Windows 10, see [Upgrading to App-V for Windows 10 from an existing installation](appv-upgrading-to-app-v-for-windows-10-from-an-existing-installation.md).
If you’re already using App-V, performing an in-place upgrade to Windows 10/11 on user devices automatically installs the App-V client and migrates users’ App-V applications and settings. For more information about how to configure an existing App-V installation after upgrading user devices to Windows 10/11, see [Upgrading to App-V for Windows from an existing installation](appv-upgrading-to-app-v-for-windows-10-from-an-existing-installation.md).
>[!IMPORTANT]
>You can upgrade your existing App-V installation to App-V for Windows from App-V versions 5.0 SP2 and higher only. If you are using an earlier version of App-V, you’ll need to upgrade your existing App-V installation to App-V 5.0 SP2 before upgrading to App-V for Windows.
To learn more about previous versions of App-V, see [MDOP information experience](/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/index).

## Getting started with App-V for Windows (new installations)
To start using App-V to deliver virtual applications to users, you’ll need to download, enable, and install server- and client-side components. The following table describes the App-V for Windows 10 components, what they do, and where to find them.

<!--App-V Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client once had its own row in the table below, and could have its own row again. As of 7/29/2016, it's in the same row as App-V client -->
| Component | What it does | Where to find it |
|------------|--|------|
| App-V server components | App-V offers five server components that work together to allow you to host and publish virtual applications, generate usage reports, and manage your App-V environment. For more details, see [Deploying the App-V Server](appv-deploying-the-appv-server.md).<br><br>If you're already using App-V 5.x, you don't need to redeploy the App-V server components, as they haven't changed since App-V 5.0's release. | The App-V server components are included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) 2015 ISO package that can be downloaded from the following locations:<br><br> If you have a Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscription, use the [MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) subscriptions site](https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/downloads/default.aspx#FileId=65215) to download the MDOP ISO package.<br><br> If you're using [Windows 10 for Enterprise or Education](https://www.microsoft.com/WindowsForBusiness/windows-product-home), download it from the [Volume Licensing Service Center](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.aspx).<br><br>See [Deploying the App-V Server](appv-deploying-the-appv-server.md) for more information about installing and using the server components.|
| App-V client and App-V Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client | The App-V client is the component that runs virtualized applications on user devices, allowing users to interact with icons and file names to start virtualized applications. | The App-V client is automatically installed with Windows 10, version 1607. <br><br>To learn how to enable the client, see [Enable the App-V desktop client](appv-enable-the-app-v-desktop-client.md). |
| App-V sequencer | Use the App-V sequencer to convert Win32 applications into virtual packages for deployment to user devices. Devices must run the App-V client to allow users to interact with virtual applications. | Installed with the [Windows Assessment and Deployment kit (ADK) for Windows 10, version 1607](https://developer.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit). |
