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?

    Hmmmm, so I'm guessing that I shouldnt even try to put my 3D program on my new Win 10 Dell.  Right now, it's still running on XP.

    Absolutely do not attempt to use 3D on a Win10 computer.  It barely worked on a Win7 computer.  XP and Vista are no longer supported by Microsoft which basically means any security updates are not being programmed for installation.

    Also, the difference between 3D/4D is that they install in the root directory of your computer.  Starting with 5D, the software engineers built the software to conform to Microsoft's library, documents and folder structure.  I don't believe 3D/4D installs in the Program X86 directory like all other newer software does.

    After all my searching hither and yon I phoned HUS again--the first call was a blunt "we no loner support 5D but this time  knowledgeable person asked if the 5D logo was on the tool bar--it was--she said to remove it and a miracle happened.  All the software now opens and it was that simple!  Spread the word!  Betty

    Can you do a screenshot of what logo you are talking about?  That makes absolutely no sense to me.
