One of my clients wants to update his existing MXI system based on Windows 7 to Windows 10 with new computer hardware.
The system is PXI connected over Fiber with MXI PCI card on a 3rd gen Intel Xeon based server. The software is written in VC++ 6 with I guess measurement studio 6.
According to my knowledge and internet, Measurement Studio VC++ 6.0 is not supported by windows 7 but my client has its working on Windows 7. Their OEM somehow Configured it to work with Windows 7.
What I am supposed to do is:
- Update their computer to newer 8th gen based system
- Update Windows 7 to windows 10.
- Since source code is available, make it run on latest Measurement Studio
- Newer computers usually do not have PCI slots, can I use PCIe to PCI converter and mount MXI on it?
How much of it is possible?
