umm, no, have not done so. I am not setting up that many Windose thingies these days. BTW it's running now, VS2019 and VSCode installed. need to grab one cheap stick of ddr4 2133 to bring it to 64GB 4way which should help big time. Decent Home Computer eet eeez.
The biggest problem is finding all those drivers. I have no intention to toss my bloody expensive scanners, cameras, and stuff.
That, unfortunately, is precisely where "the devil is in the details" makes its bailiwick.
I'll cast a prayer to Ifni for your sanity, my dear.
I will admit one thing... once you get used to the "shades of grey" color scheme and loss of 3D radio buttons (YES, I know this DOES take some getting used to); the improvement in contrast & clarity over Win7 makes it so that I cringe a little when I have to go back to my old ToughBook.
Add that to the complete Charlie-Foxtrot later Service Packs made of Win7's HAL... let's just say there's a REASON I bit the bullet (okay, in part because I HAVE TO BE familiar with the current versions of Windoze, as knowing how to fix it is my stock-in-trade) and learned how to, as bd says,
"Tie it's feet together so it can't kick me in the balls all the time".
I don't know how much of the frontend is in your job description... but Win8 & up interact differently with the EU and with the domain... this MIGHT be something you need to bite the bullet on as well.
Good luck,
