Re: converting PEF to DNG .. help needed
If you ever do need it, I think I have the codec you'll need for Window 7 Pro 64bit. I'm getting ready to replace this computer, but I'll keep it just in case. My video card is failing. No big deal for text & viewing images, but the one computer game I like to play keeps crashing. Due to the crazy situation with computer chips, I found I could buy a whole new computer with a faster processor, more RAM and a 8GB video card for the same price as replacing an 8GB video card to fit this computer. This computer is OLD - in the sense that "Grandfather's Axe" is old (Mother Board is at least 5 years old and I think probably closer to 10) and they don't make many video cards that will fit inside it any more ... and the ones they do make are EXPENSIVE. The three drawbacks are it only has a 1TB SSD (M.2), which is not that big a problem because I have additional hard drives - extra 4TB drives in case my server has a drive failure, it's the Linux equivalent to RAID 6, so I can rebuild the array if a drive fails and because it has dual parity it will even allow me to rebuild it if a second drive should fail while rebuilding the array. I have a 5TB array & a 10TB array. The second drawback is I can't put a DVD drive in it. I know everything is online in the cloud or stored on a media server and DVD drives are OLD TECH and obsolete, but I like them and I want one in my computer. But this has the fancy glass front so you can see the pretty colors the cooling fans make. It has the bay where the DVD drive could be installed, but there's no way to open it through the cover. The third drawback is it came pre-loaded with Windoze #@%$^&%*## 10 and *I HATE WINDOZE #@%$^&%*## 10* (I had a VERY BAD experience trying to upgrade, which is why I still have Windows 7 Pro 64bit). I am not looking forward to the fight I'm going to have to make it DO WHAT I WANT TO DO.

You can teach the browser to do that by installing what is called a 'codec'. Then you don't have to do any file conversion/copying, etc. - it just works. Ricoh offer one for Windows 7. Their website says it doesn't work for the 64-bit version of Windows 7, but I'm pretty sure one of the earlier posts in this thread had a pointer to a codec that worked fine.

Re: converting PEF to DNG .. help needed
Ann, I have version 12.2.0.387 Adobe DNG converter. It DOES work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. It's not the current converter from Adobe that requires Windows10. It's the older one that's no longer available on their site. I just looked in my downloads folder and I still have the executable to install it. I can send it to you as an email attachment OFF LIST if you want me to. It's a 467,715 KB file If it won't install, I also have the unpacked files (that's where I got the v.12.2.0.387 from) and I can send those as an attachment as well. OR I can also do a Dropbox if you would prefer ... although I haven't used that in a long time & would have to figure out how to do it again. If you want to do it that way, I'll figure it out and send you the link OFF LIST. Or maybe a more computer savvy list member will be able to hook you up.

Re: converting PEF to DNG .. help needed
Ann, According to a posting I've read on Adobe support forum, ver. 12.4 of DNG converter is the last one that runs on Windows 7. Adobe doesn't keep it on their download website, but it is still available from their ftp site: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/photoshop/cameraraw/win/12.x/CameraRaw_12_4.exe What I've just discovered is that those Firefox and Chrome-like browsers that I have on my Win-10 box for some reason couldn't download this file, but Internet Explorer can. Try, and if you cannot download it, - e-mail me, and I will download it and make it available for you on a website.
