# Upgrade Analytics release notes
## Supported versions of Windows
The compatibility update KB that sends telemetry data from user computers to Upgrade Analytics works only with Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1. Upgrade Analytics cannot evaluate Windows XP or Windows Vista for upgrade eligibility.
<!--With Windows 10, edition 1607, the compatibility update KB is installed automatically.-->
## User authenticated proxies not supported in this release
User computers communicate with Upgrade Analytics through Windows telemetry. The Windows telemetry client runs in System context and requires a connection to various Microsoft telemetry endpoints. User authenticated proxies are not supported at this time. Work with your Network Administrator to ensure that user computers can communicate with telemetry endpoints.
## Upgrade Analytics does not support on-premise Windows deployments
Upgrade Analytics is built as a cloud service, which allows Upgrade Analytics to provide you with insights based on the data from user computers and other Microsoft compatibility services. Cloud services are easy to get up and running and are cost-effective because there is no requirement to physically implement and maintain services on-premise.
## In-region data storage requirements
Windows telemetry data from user computers is encrypted, sent to, and processed at Microsoft-managed secure data centers located in the US. Our analysis of the upgrade readiness-related data is then provided to you through the Upgrade Analytics solution in the Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS) portal. At the time this topic is being published, only OMS workspaces created in the East US and West Europe are supported. We’ll be frequently adding support for additional regions and we’ll update this information when new international regions are supported.
## Known issues
- When viewing inventory items in table view, the maximum number of rows that can be viewed and exported is limited to 5,000. If you need to view or export more than 5,000 items, reduce the scope of the query so you can export a list with fewer items.
- Sorting data by clicking a column heading may not sort your complete list of items. For information about how to sort data in OMS, see [Sorting DocumentDB data using Order By](https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/documentdb-orderby).

To perform an in-place upgrade, user computers must be running the latest version of either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1. After you enable Windows telemetry, Upgrade Analytics performs a full inventory of computers so that you can see which version of Windows is installed on each computer.
The compatibility update KB that sends telemetry data from user computers to Microsoft data centers works with Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 only. Upgrade Analytics cannot evaluate Windows XP or Windows Vista for upgrade eligibility.
<!--With Windows 10, edition 1607, the compatibility update KB is installed automatically.-->
If you need to update user computers to Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1, use Windows Update or download and deploy the applicable package from the Microsoft Download Center.
Note: Upgrade Analytics is designed to best support in-place upgrades. In-place upgrades do not support migrations from BIOS to UEFI or from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture. If you need to migrate computers in these scenarios, use the wipe-and-reload method. Upgrade Analytics insights are still valuable in this scenario, however, you can ignore in-place upgrade specific guidance.
