Hi all,

We have a > 10 year-old windows XP machine hooked up to our trusty Leica
SP5 that is sluggish at best. Without having the patients to wait for my
local Leica rep to give me an answer, I was wondering if it should be
possible to upgrade the computer to a new windows 7 or 10 machine?

Should I be worried about hardware driver availability and the Leica Las
software?

We should be able to spend some money on a newer software version but some
directions would be good. We would like to build the machine ourselves
since we are on the other side of the planet to most people and microscopy
support is usually patchy (plus we are not rich)

Many thanks, Mitja
