Please find a more current blog post about certification of Oracle Database 12c on MS Win 10 here:
If you have upgraded already or plan to upgrade to Microsoft Windows 10 in the near (or later) future, you may find this Statement Of Direction by Oracle regarding Microsoft Windows 10 certification quite useful:

So no support for 11.2.0.4
Let’s hope SE for 12.1.0.2 will be released soon. We are almost waiting for a year now 🙁
Well, Oracle 11.2 is out of Premier Support already – therefore no certification on a new OS which got released AFTER end of Premier Support 😉
And yes, I fully agree on SE – but news will be available very soon.
Thanks!
Mike
Well, October has arrived. Is 12c available for Windows 10?
October has still a few days left … 😉
What oracle would you advice to me, coz’ im using Windows 10 and I have a project in my school to work on. Thanks. 🙂
Shaq,
two options:
(a) you’ll start to work now as the official certification will happen soon
(b) you’ll use Virtual Box 5.0.4 on Win10 – currently under experimental support – but then you’ll have the freedom of using for instance Oracle Linux inside.
Cheers

I was wondering if Oracle database has been certified on Windows 10…
Fully understand – but you’ll have to open an SR to trigger support if MOS Certification does not give you an update.
Apologies for the inconvenience!
Cheers

How can I open oracle database on Windows 10
I cant seem to find it in my computer.
Guest,
not sure what you are asking for???
Please precise your question. What have you done? What is installed? What is your issue?
Cheers
Mike
So now that it is November, do we just install 12c on Windows 10 or do we have to wait for a new download specific for Windows 10?
I fully understand your points. Still though I’m not the certification authority. Please open an SR and ask Oracle Support.
Thanks
Mike
Hi Mike,
Any Update on an ETA for Windows 10 support? Especially for the client. My customers are finding it harder to order new client PCs with windows 7 or 8.1 installed.
October has come and gone.
Thanks,
Jim
Rumors say something about mid to late November. But this is just a rumor … so to get some more precise information you’ll have to open an SR probably.
Cheers
Mike
Does 12c now qualified orcertified for windows10 64 bit?
Please open an SR – it was promised late Nov – but seem to be delayed again. Maybe because of Thanksgiving – I have no idea.
It could also have to do with Win10 itself. Not sure if you recognized it but MS had to take back the massive update for Win10 due to unknown reasons.
Right now (as of Dec 1) it is not in the list on MOS yet.
Cheers
Mike
PS: Just on the side: I would be a very happy person if people would insist to upgrade to any new database releases as fast as questions for Win10 certifications fly into my inbox 😉
Hi,
according to MOS Doc ID 1307195.1 Windows 10 is now certified with 12.1.0.2:

Great News! Thanks for the update.
great news! Cheers for the update
I’ve installed windows 7 on my laptop after buying license from <a href="http://products.odosta.com">ODosta Store</a>, I want to activate it to get free upgrade from windows 7 professional to windows 10 home.
I’m now confused, How to activate and upgrade to windows 10.
Please mention within details.
Oracle 12c 32 bits odbc does not seem to work in windows 10, is this true ? or has this been addressed and a new download is available, please help.
This is such a great resource that you are providing and you also give it away for free. I love seeing Websites that understand the value of providing a Quality Content for free.
The company will release versions of its latest database for Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education up to three months after Microsoft. Oracle has been a leading provider of database technology on Microsoft
Amber,
are you asking about "Database" or "Windows" upgrades?
For the database you can download each version (such as 12.1.0.2) from either edelivery.oracle.com or most versions via support.oracle.com ==> Patches and Updates.
Cheers
Mike
Patrick,
please open an SR and let Support clarify – I can’t do this unfortunately nor do I know if that is an ODBC issue or has to do with 32bit libs. But Support will know.
Cheers
Mike
Can I open oracle program on windows 10?
Oracle 12c is supported on Win10 – so yes.
Not sure exactly about your question.
Cheers
Mike
Does Windows 10 support Oracle 9i?
No 😉
Win10 came out 2016 if I remember correctly.
Oracle 9i went out of support in July 2007 – almost 10 years before Win10 got born 😉
Please see support.oracle.com ==> “Certification” for certified version of the Oracle Database for Win 10 (should be 12.1.0.2 and 12.2.0.1 but please double check).
Cheers,
Mike
great post
Thanks!!
