[Elecraft] OT Looking for PC advice.

[Ian - Ham]

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,

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
