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?

    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.

    Are you running 4D in Win10 mode or in Win7/Win8 compatibility mode?  That is very different than running the program solely in Win10.  The file structure of 4D was not equivalent to Microsoft's file structure at the time.  4D is loaded directly into the root directory of the C-drive.  Newer versions adhere to Microsoft's file structure of installing into the Program folder.  The dongle drivers are only for getting the dongle to recognize the program and are for security purposes only and have no bearing on how the program operates in the Windows environment.

    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
