I have Win10 on my workbench PC. I'm reasonably familiar with it. I've used Linux for years, but it doesn't have the applications that I need, so I can't rely on it. There are attempts at replacing those apps, but they're not ready for prime time. I *have* them, but I prefer the Windows originals. I have digital electronics diagnostic tools that simply *refuse* to work with Linux USB drivers. I've tried. Repeatedly. Until I nearly pulled all my hair out. Then I went to the expense and bought that aforementioned Win10 workbench PC...and a 4-channel Rigol oscilloscope. USB scopes are neat, but they don't replace a standalone scope, and my old CRO was NOT adequate to need.
I suppose I'll have to at least upgrade my main PC to Win10 sometime. When I get some minutes in a row, I'll look into it. 73, Gwen, NG3P On Sun, Jun 9, 2019 at 3:33 PM Bob McGraw K4TAX <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been running Window 10 Pro since the initial release.
