QuickTime X is on the supported products list.
Important note: All versions of QuickTime 7.1 or above automatically prompt for an update to the latest available and most secure version of QuickTime 7.x, currently 7.7.2. Information Systems & Computing (ISC) strongly suggests allowing this update process to complete.
QuickTime 7.1 for the OS X was the first version of QuickTime with Universal support.
Windows 7 compatibility
Due to security vulnerabilities, QuickTime 7 for Windows is no longer supported by Apple. New versions of Windows since 2009 (Windows 7 and later) have included support for the key media formats, such as H.264 and AAC, that QuickTime 7 enabled. All current Windows web browsers support video without the need for browser plug-ins. If you no longer need QuickTime 7 on your PC, it is recommended that you uninstall QuickTime 7 for Windows.
macOS compatibility
QuickTime (version 10) is included and functions correctly with all macOS versions since Snow Leopard.
