OpenVMS | 8.3 | Yes | Yes | No | No | |
ReactOS | 0.4.11 | No | No | No | No | Though ReactOS itself has no IPv6 support, ReactOS Foundation services are all IPv6 enabled. |

Symbian | 7.0 | Yes | Yes | No | No | [1][yes|permanent dead link|dead link}}] |
Ubuntu | All supported versions | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | RDNSS support available so long as NetworkManager uses IPv6 "Automatic" setting, otherwise "rdnssd" package required. |
webOS | 2.1.0 | No | No | No | No | [27] |
Windows NT (includes Windows 10 Mobile) |
5.1 (XP) | Yes | No | Add-on[9] | No | Windows XP users can use Dibbler, an open source DHCPv6 implementation. --update: Windows XP fully supports IPv6- but NOT IPv6 DNS queries (nslookup)[28] |
6.x (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1), 10 RTM-Anniversary Update | Yes[29] | Yes | Yes[9] | No | dnssd-win32 provides an open source implementation of ND RDNSS[30] | |

Windows Mobile | 6.5 | Yes | Yes | Lite[31] | No | If the OEM explicitly unsets the SYSGEN_TCPIP6 pre-processor symbol, the built image will not have any IPv6 capabilities. |
Windows Phone | 7.5 | No | No | No | No | |
8(.1)[32] | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Private lab research. No privacy extensions (RFC4941). | |

Notes
- Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor SLAAC cannot automatically configure unicast IPv6 addresses.
- Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor ND RDNSS cannot automatically configure name servers in an IPv6-only environment.
