* Brower notes
Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari follow a continuous release policy that makes difficult to fix a minimum version. For this reason, following the market recommendation ICN will support the last 2 major version of each of these browsers.
**Note for Windows XP users:
Windows XP is no longer supported by its original vendor, Microsoft, but if your organization has internal policies that have extended the use of Windows XP, ICN recommends that your PCs be migrated to MS Windows 7 or above at your earliest convenience. Although we are not in a position to guarantee the service on a no longer operational operating system, ICN still has customers running Windows XP who adopt the eLearning Portal. If you are unable to upgrade your PCs at this time, we recommend installing the latest version of Google Chrome, as a temporary solution.
ICN strongly recommends that users maintain updated operating systems (both desktop and mobile) aligned to the latest release made available by the respective vendors.
