OOPS!
OOPS!! BREAKING NEWS: I've made my way further up the DataColor help-desk tree and I have just been told by a more senior member that the new Spyder 5 is not compatible with Windows ***7***. He has not yet explained why. I have told him that after more than a year of working satisfactorily Spyder 4 suddenly started having the same problem in June this year. I have asked him whether this problem extends to Windows 10. It will be interesting to hear his answer. He assures me it will run on Windows 10. So here goes ... -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Maybe its an example of how far you can push things withot being sued. Right now, I'm doing a backup. Then I'm going to create a disk image. Then I will try to install Windows 10. Wish me luck. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I need more than luck. Having spent most of a day doing a backup etc I find that all I have achieved is a place in the queue. At some stage in the undefined future I will get a notification that my Windows 10 has arrived, by which time I will have to do my backup etc all over again. :-( -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

You don't need to wait, use the Media Creation Tool instead. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10 -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |
