    Is it time to update windows 7

    Hi
    as the newly installed (beginner) navigator on a 40ft yacht I have been working hard at coming to grips with the expensive electronics and PC.
    Things improved greatly when i improved instrument calibration and updated the old expedition to the current version.
    It all runs on a Samsung 900X laptop with Windows 7 SP1 64 bit operating system. This PC is exclusively for the boat.
    My question is
    From a purely Expedition performance/ compatibility viewpoint is there a reason to upgrade to Windows 10?
    I'm a bit of a ïf it ain't broke don't fix it" guy and I only need Expedition to run well.
    There is a small break in the race schedule now, so it would be the time.

    looking forward to leaning a lot off this forum as it grows.
    (I won't have time to learn everything the hard way)
    Happy New Year!

    Quote depends on situation.

    Hello,
     ​Exp definitely works better on Windows 10. Not every computer can be updated though. Rgrds, Nick

    OK Nick, it sounds like it is time to do the Win 10 thing!
