Is or will Windows Mobile Device Center be compatible with Windows 10?  There are some legacy devices that require sync with WMDC and then there are security personnel that do not allow devices to connect to their Wi-Fi but rather connect them via USB using WMDC.  I was able to get WMDC to work successfully on Windows 8 and 8.1.  So far I have not heard any news in regards to Windows 10.  Looking forward to hearing results and or news regarding this.  Thx everyone.

    how is Sync Center the answer to this issue? 

    I'm trying to connect a Windows CE 7.0 device to my Windows 10 PC, and Sync Center does not seem to help at all.

    We all know it is there in Windows 10.   I had to have my PC rebased by Microsoft when their online tech people screwed it up.  I had them make sure to put this program back on my PC.  I can get my HP Ipaq RX4240 to sync between the Ipaq and my Desktop that runs Windows 10 for my files.   However I cannot get it to sync the calendar and the contacts which is important.  I can't check the two boxes for those items when the Ipaq is plugged via USB into my CPU for the desktop.   Please, please, Microsoft, would you create a patch or figure out a way to make the Windows Mobile Device work like it did in previous versions of Windows?  The devices many of us are using still work perfectly and meet our needs so please, please, please, create a patch and make it work.  We have been waiting since Windows 10 was rolled out for you to do something about it.  I have read all the replies and some of them I am too scared to try because I am not technically savvy.   Create the darn patch already so it all magically works the way it should!!!!  Thank you -- a very, very, loyal customer.
