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?

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 ha as details. Or just go to VSM and download
I have my doubts about the person who said they are running 4D on a Win10 computer. 4D barely could work on a Win7 computer. The software engineers had to do several fixes to get it to work on Win7.
There are now 3 versions of software newer than 4D. If you want to use the embroidery program, I would suggest upgrading to the latest version Premier + Embroidery System which is the newest past 6D Embroidery.
HusqvarnaViking is no longer creating fixes for any version on the market except for the newest.
What am I doing wrong? Cannot run 4D on my laptop.
I just upgraded to Windows 10 today and my 4D would not work. It tried to open but it couldn't read the hasp info. I followed your directions (I almost couldn't find where to get the dongle driver upgrade) and low and behold my 4D is now up and running. I actually downloaded the hasp driver after the Windows 10 upgrade. Thanks so much for your advice. I wouldn't have upgraded to another Pfaff software. It's just too expensive and I have other software that I use more often. I still use the 4D and am very thankful for your help.
I upgraded to Windows 10 and I am using 4D Embroidery software. I haven't had any problems with 4D so far.
I am not in love with Windows 10 and have experienced a number of really annoying glitches. I recommend holding off on upgrading for a while. At some point they usually issue patches to fix the bugs people have reported. But - 4D does seem to be working without any problems.
