Guy,
Get a new computer with Windows 11 if at all possible. I tend
to favor the Ryzen 7 based "NUC" designs these days and have not
had any issues with Windows 11 (on Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 based
Windows 11 systems since Windows 11 was released). The Ryzen 7
systems can be found with 32 GB RAM and 500 GB/1TB SSD for
less than $400 ... often as little as $300 (Amazon Prime).
Once you have a new Windows 11 system and are comfortable that
is is performing properly, then you can move DXLab Suite to the
new system following the instructions here:

If you follow those instructions to the letter, you should be
able to pick up where you left off on the new computer. If
anything should fail, you would still have the old system to
fall back on.

Dave,
I got the impression that this sounded like a computer issue, not an
OpSys issue. However, like many others who are working with Win 10 and
DXLab I am looking at upgrading computers and systems to avoid the
consequences of losing support. (I lost a lot of my log with the end of XP
due to a virus.) So I am looking at moving to Win11 with my DXLab intact.
Can you advise what we need to do or look out for in making that
transition but keeping our DXLab programs working correctly? I know there
are folks out there who have made the move to Win11 and have not reported
any issues with DXLab operations. I admit that this has got me concerned.
I'm not a computer guy (no pun intended) and would really appreciate your
comments and advice.

Hello all...I purchased a Laptop Win11 computer as I was ready to transfer
my DX labs and various other application for my shack computer. I spent a
$1000 dollars for 32 gigs ram and 1TB SSD and found that the computer would
not connect to the internet. The network adapter was not stable and would
not allow connection for more than a minute....The computer slowed down to
a crawl and would not turn off or restart. Then the BSOD would show up
while restarting then the computer would reboot and connect for a minute
and then lose all internet connectivity. My computer guys who are hams told
me that it is systemic and wished me well.
+ I don't want to turn this group into a Windows 11 support forum, but I
wouldn't give up so quickly. Have you contacted the company from which you
purchased the laptop? If its networking capability is non-functional, I
would demand a replacement or a refund.
