PVE doesn't have a 'supported' list, I am assuming this is a list of VMs you're wanting to export from an existing system like vSphere?

You can run essentially any x86-64 OS, so all of those are fine. The OS Type field in PVE isn't a compatibility check, it just tunes defaults (Hyper-V enlightenments, default hardware), so picking the closest match costs you performance at worst, not bootability.

You will run into issues with Windows 8 / 2012: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2012_guest_best_practices
