Thanks Joe, after following the group for a while I trust your advice and will consider your suggestion re: Ryzen.?? Sounds like what I need and have in mind.? I'm not in a hurry but need to get this done in the next few months.?? I have a laptop that is W11 but my wife has commandeered?it for her use.? The PC I use now was custom?built for me a few?? years ago but the business was a victim of Covid.? I appreciate your help and am open to further suggestions as well.

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.
