Is there any reason to believe the latest version isn't compatible? ---

thanks for replying, its very critical for me. Actually we proposed that we will install ELK 5.6 as a service on Windows but when i checked [https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#/matrix\_os](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#/matrix_os) URL , windows 10 is not mentioned in it. So i got confused whether ELK can be installed as a service on windows 10. If yes then kindly advice the ELK version. Thanks ---

You're right, Windows 10 isn't listed in the matrix. I'm surprised. Anyway, I don't know anything about the actual compatibility and whether any problems should be expected. ---

Install Elastic Stack 6.0. It'll only take a small amount of time. Test it. If it's not working, go to 5.6.x. ---

Elastic has an service installer inside bin folder of the Windows package. For Kibana and Logstash I'm using Windows Service Wrapper. Beats, I'm using filebeat, has also a service installer on the root of the package. ---

I'm running Windows server 2012 R2. I don't see why it should not run on W10. But I didn't test it. ---
