Warning
While the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor may install on operating system versions other than these listed, the results are unpredictable. A sensor installed on an unsupported OS may cease to function, enter Reduced Functionality Mode (see below), uninstall itself, incorrectly flag system processes as malicious, or otherwise malfunction. Please take care when installing the sensor or updating your operating system.
