Windows 11 Compatibility

[bruss1937]

Does anyone know if Omega 5 will work on Windows 11?

If it works with the latest Windows 10, then it shouldn't have an issue on win11.
If it has issues on the latest win10, then expect issues on win11

Windows also has compatibility mode for legacy software.

What I thought but wanted a little security support if you know what I mean
Again, thanks!

If you use output-devices with serial or parallel interfaces (Gerber Edge, Gerber Plotters), you can run into trouble even on Windows 10. Gerber has adaptors which are working ob windows 10, but no warranty until now that they work on 11.

on one of my computers when I upgraded to 10 it reinstalled the windows drivers , not sure why but I just had to delete the windows driver(s) and reinstall the Gerber drivers (serial or parallel interfaces using the conversion cables (Gerber Edge, Gerber Plotters) not really a biggie just a PITA

My shop upgraded our Edge workstation from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and the workstation is no longer communicating with the Gerber Edge LE printer. It was fine before the upgrade. I have the same hardware and cables as before the upgrade. I also have the driver roll-back whitepage pdf so we must have had a similar issue from 8 to 10. We followed the driver roll-back instructions, but it's still not communicating with the printer.

Omega Composer and GSP PLT all work great. The serial connection to the enVision plotter is fine and works properly.

Has anyone else had an issue with Windows 11 and the Edge printers?
