To add to Steve’s feedback: we’ve made the same upgrade running in the same environment here at the National Gallery in London, albeit on fewer machines. As noted, there was a problem with the Thesaurus Manager in Internet Explorer, easily fixed (and the same fix helped some of our other systems run properly in IE).
Not OS-related, but we also found that:
· Our object parent-child relationships had been flipped once we’d upgraded; apparently this was fixing a bug that had crept in in an earlier upgrade. We wrote a script to flip them back to point in the correct locations.
· Data in TermMaster.Rank had been dropped when moving to a new table during the upgrade. GS provided a script to import the data from the previous version.
· There’s a minor bug in the spell-checker, which arises when you hand-type the replacement word in a text field that includes line breaks. Planned fix in the 2017 release.
Best wishes

We just went from 2012 to 2016 R2 on about 500 Windows 7 SP1 computers and everything went smoothly. The one thing that we had to pay attention to is the Thesaurus configuration. It is all in the GS docs, but the big thing for us was adding the thesaurus url as a Local Intranet site in Internet Explorer. That made a number of issues go away. My guess is that Windows 7 is less problematic than 8.1/10 but I don't know that for sure.

Hi, all,
We’re gearing up to upgrade from 2012 to 2016 R2. Windows version 7, Service Pack 1 is presumed to be compatible, but isn’t part of GS’s QA anymore. They aren’t aware of any issues, but I thought it best to ask the listserv just in case. Has anyone encountered any issues with 2016 running on this version of Windows?
Thanks!
