Windows Server 2025 Compatibility and Official Driver Support for PowerEdge R740
Hello Dell Community,
I would like to ask for clarification regarding Windows Server 2025 compatibility for the Dell PowerEdge R740 server.
Currently, on the Dell support website, I can see that the PowerEdge R740 is officially supported with Windows Server versions up to Windows Server 2022. I do not see Windows Server 2025 listed as a supported operating system, nor do I see OS-specific drivers available for it.
I would appreciate guidance on the following points:
Does Dell officially support Windows Server 2025 on PowerEdge R740?
Are there official Dell drivers (or validated driver packs) for Windows Server 2025 that can be used with the R740?
If Windows Server 2025 is not currently supported, does Dell plan to add official support or certification for this OS on PowerEdge R740 in the future?
Before deploying Windows Server 2025 in production, I would like to ensure full compatibility and understand Dell’s official support stance for this server model.
Thank you in advance for your input and clarification.

Mikheilkh,
The Poweredge R740 does not support Server 2025, nor do I see it being added, as most of the 14th gen servers are end of life.
The page here is the Dell OS matrix for the Poweredge lines, which states the same.
Let me know if this helps.
