I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to Windows10.  The main use for this computer, is sewing/embroidery software, 4D Embroidery.  Is W 10 going to run that software satisfactorily?

    That is very nice... not! I have bought an embroidery machine that only works with a dongle and a laptop. Okay you could say that I was a very stupid woman when I bought that machine but according the shop it was the best they had... and I do not usually throw away a working laptop.

    It was not a cheap machine and was 6 months old when a friends' kids threw cola over the my laptop. I had to buy a new laptop and now my embroidery program and machine are not supported!?! The shop where I bought it, does not want to take the machine back since it is a software problem. The software company does not want to do a thing about it. That is a nice way to throw away your money. I will have to work for a couple of years to earn that kind of money! No Vinking or software with dongles for me anymore!

    5D works absolutely fine with Win10, as does 6D.  If you have a Viking or Pfaff machine the communication icon needs to be in the taskbar without a red 'x' on it.  If you need help getting your 5D to work, please join our 5D Embroidery Facebook group or you can email me & I can assist you in getting it to work.  My email address is ******@misskatescreations.com.

    I upgraded to 5d from 3D then 4D and it will not work with Windows 10. managed to do a design but will not send. Luckily not upgraded my laptop yet. So fed up with having to pay so much more to upgrade to other versions when all I need is 5D.

    I have 4D running on a win 10 upgrade from win 8.1 where it work perfectly prior to win 10 upgrade.   You have to download drivers from VSM site for 6D to get the dongle and File Assistant to work.   Pfaff Yahoo groups has details. Or just go to VSM and download
