I was trying to download the universal forwarder for windows 7 32 bit OS, but i can see only windows 8, 8.1, 10 OS.
Is Splunk supporting windows 7? If I will download universal forwarder for windows 8. Will it take the data from window 7 system?
@twh1... Please try one of older Universal Forwarders

The link above is out of date. The current link is: https://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/6.4.6/windows/splunkforwarder-6.4.6...
Just be aware - it is not an official download link (Splunk doesn't support and officially share such old products). It might stop working at any time.
Looks like the link may have been changed, and, the latest is showing 6.4.10

Only versions 7 and 8 are showing or earlier versions - the link above to version 6.4.6 is good. Repeated here:
@niketnilay: I tried that link and able to download the universal forwarder. After installation, I am getting data as well from that System.
Thanks for your help.
@twh1 Glad it worked...sooner you move to 64 bit the better 🙂 . 32 bit Universal Forwarder will not support forwarding of Network Monitor data.
HI twh1,
Last version of Universal Forwarder supported by Splunk for Windows 7 32 bits is 6.4.6 (https://www.splunk.com/page/download_track?file=6.4.6/windows/splunkforwarder-6.4.6-6635aa31e851-x86...)
I Think that version 6.5.2 will run but if you'll have problems Splunk will not support you.
Bye.

My home desktop is running Windows 7 and I currently have a 64bit UF installed on it with no issues.
