Deni, I upgraded all supported computers (I have one Dell laptop which is not supported for Windows 10) in my home to Windows 10 months ago, and that includes my shack computer. As an IT consultant, I have to stay on top of changes Microsoft makes. I have had no issues with any of the ham radio software I run on my shack computer. All are running fine under Windows 10. I run all the relevant Elecraft utilities for my K-line, KAT500, and KPA500; N1MM Logger+; VE7CC spotter; HRD; and probably a couple of other applications I'm forgetting. In fact, I am a beta tester and evangelist for HRD and was just with their team in Dayton. HRD is developed under Windows 10 and was being demoed on Windows 10 computers at Dayton, so if you have issues with that application, you should open a ticket with them. My apologies to any who are offended by the slightly off-topic diversion there.
The short answer, Deni, is you should not have any issues with the major amateur radio applications under Windows 10. 73 es gud dx, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [email protected] 10-10 #74624, North Georgia Chapter #2038 PODXS 070 #1962 K3# 281, P3 #688, KAT500 #860, KPA500 #1468 -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of F5vjc Sent: Monday, May 23, 2016 3:13 AM To: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] OT Looking for PC advice. Hi, I have an Elecraft K line station and up to now have been running all my software on an aging Win 7 32 bit machine. No real problems but I'm in the process of building an updated PC and have a dilemma. Do I go with Win 7 Pro 64 Bit or Win 10 for the OS? I know some of you will have taken this path already, so how do you find WIN 10 with typical Ham radio software? I run Win4K3, N1MM, HRD, Log4OM, CW Skimmer, NaP3 and numerous other Ham radio stuff. I have Win 10 on my laptop (free update from Win 7) but not used for the Ham shack and find it rather irritating, but this is probably due to unfamiliarity. Do you guys prefer Win 7 or 10 for Ham radio apps. Any advice appreciated, thanks. 73, Deni - F5VJC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
