Work Folders for Windows 7
When we introduced Work Folders in Windows Server 2012 R2, we included support for PCs running Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1. However, we knew that we needed to continue releasing support for other clients, and the number one request was to support the large number of enterprise deployments of Windows 7.
We heard the feedback and we are excited to announce that we have just released the packages of Work Folders for Windows 7 on the Download Center!
