## Platform which are out of support
64+
65+
When a platform version reaches end-of-life as defined by the platform owner, PowerShell Core will also cease to provide support for that platform version. Previously released packages will remain available for customers needing access but formal support and updates of any kind will no longer be provided.
66+
67+
Therefore, support for the following versions was ended by the distribution owners and are not supported.
