* The column **last version can be run** is for the status of the latest release to be run under the OS. If the current (latest) version can be run under the specific OS, then the `current version` will be indicated instead of version number.

* The column **supported** contains the status of Notepad++ team supporting Notepad++ under the specific OS. It means if a bug is present under an OS no more supported but not under supported OS, then this issue won't be treated by the team.

Add latest support version information for Windows 95/98/ME/NT4
With searching in Google and trying to run several official unmodified verions of Notepad++ in virtual machines. Notepad++ come with several plugins enabled, which may stop working before Notepad++ version. Please attention that, the installed version of Internet Explorer may affect other software, which I did not test. The following is what I get.
For Windows 95, refer to these links:
http://www.win3x.org/win3board/viewtopic.php?t=17221
https://notepad-plus-plus.narkive.com/6lktixGR/notepad-plus-help-notepad-v4-0-does-not-work-on-win95
I've confirmed that Notepad++ 3.9 runs on Windows 95 RTM/OSR 2.5, and Notepad++ 4.0.1 doesn't (4.0 not found, but I think there's only minor changes). So Notepad++ 3.9 is the latest version for Windows 95.
For Windows NT 4.0, nothing found when searching.
I've confirmed that Notepad++ 4.6 runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP6, and Notepad++ 4.7.1/4.7.2/4.7.3 runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 4.7.5 doesn't work. So Notpad++ 4.7.3 is the latest for Windows NT 4 with plugins disabled.
For Windows 98/ME, refer to these links:
http://web.archive.org/web/20110709191226/http://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-5.9.1-release-is-available.html
https://msfn.org/board/topic/105936-last-versions-of-software-for-windows-98se/page/68/#comment-1176861
I've confirmed that Notepad++ 5.9.6.2 (ANSI) runs Windows 98 SE/ME, and Notepad++ 5.9.8/6.0 (ANSI) runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 6.1 doesn't work because no ANSI version available. So Notepad++ 6.0 (ANSI) is the latest for Windows 98/ME with plugins disabled.
For Windows 2000, I've confirmed that Notepad++ 6.5 runs on Windows 2000 SP4, and Notepad++ 6.6 with default plugins runs with error, and Notepad++ 6.7 doesn't work. So Notepad++ 6.6.9 is the latest for Windows 2000 with plugins disabled.
