Hey guys, coworker pointed me to your post, key thing to understand here is .Net Framework is a Microsoft component, and they, like us, strive to make things backward compatible, but there can always be issues with things just like when you try to run different client and server versions etc. The best advice I can provide you on this is to do a thorough regression test on a 4.6 client to ensure everything works as you expect, if so, then you should be fine applying the update.
One other point of note, 11.20 SR14 is the start of official support for Windows 10 OS, although I have been running Windows 10 since last summer with the prior SRs with little to no issues, so everything should be fine, the key thing with the System Requirements is this points out what R&D will entertain looking into in the way of issues, so if something is not listed there, what it means is if we run into any issues with things not listed there, we in support cannot really pursue further review of an issue if a listed component shows no issues.
Also keep in mind the statement of .Net Framework 4.0 refers to the overall 4.0 framework, which includes the 4.x releases, Microsoft has a bit of a strange versioning system in that in one place it always shows 4.0.x, but in the Updates area, you see 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.6, 4.6.1 etc. All of these are still really part of the base 4.0 framework, they are just major point releases, like our 11.00 to 11.20.
I hope this helps guys, again, my recommendation would be to update a client and run a set of tests to ensure you see no issues, if things look good, proceed with your updates. That being said, I always recommend staying current on service release (SR) updates as well, SR's are really the same thing as monthly Windows Updates, we just do not release them as often, but they are bug fixes, so always good to have more fixes than less. Again, you definitely want to put the SR releases through at least a small test bed of primary apps and functionality to be sure everything is working well though before upgrading, and if you find any issues, please be sure to open a support case with us to have us look into things with you.
