The software that drives the CNC is NC Studio. It's a pretty old PC still running Windows XP ! Might upgrade that some stage

You could consider upgrading to Windows 7, not knowing what CPU you have installed on the PC's motherboard I don't know if it'll be able to run Windows 10, which is Microsoft's latest operating system.
All my big machines run on XP (laser cutters, CNC routers and laser engraver) . Lol. At least it's fairly stable.

That sounds cool Wokka, I'm still working on getting a headstock decal for my Gold Strat sorted, looked everywhere I could think of in Darwin for the waterslide decal paper, but it looks like I'll have to buy some online soon.
Mind you, Windows XP is still a pretty good operating system once you've got service pack 3 installed, it's a shame that Microsoft no longer officially support it, I used to run Windows XP on my studio DAW PC, and found it pretty easy to navigate myself around it, I wasn't that thrilled with Windows 8 because the Metro interface that you got after booting-up the computer, annoyed me a bit when I had to click on an icon just to get to the Windows Desktop, Windows 7 was much better in that regard.

With Win 8.1, Doc, you could set it to boot straight to the desktop and avoid the Metro interface. But Win 10 is pretty good. This old general purpose net computer came with Vista, but after swapping to an SSD drive and adding some more RAM, runs a lot better on Win 10 than it ever did on Vista. Booting is now a few seconds instead of at two minutes before you could do anything.
I remember doing some playing around with Windows Vista and thinking that it had some annoying quirks, most notably were some software compatibility issues, apparently Windows 7 is what Vista should have been, so far now, I'm thinking that Windows 10 is the best operating system that Microsoft has created so far, I'm running the 64Bit Home version, I made the jump from 32Bit to 64Bit not long after trying out Windows 7 over a period of a few months.
I think Windows 10 is a great improvement over Windows 8, since Microsoft decided to bring back the start menu, I do remember having some teething problems with Windows 10 not long after upgrading to it from Windows 8.1 on my Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop, fortunately Microsoft released the Threshold 2 update, which sorted things out.

Win 10 can be annoying at times, especially as you have to update, unless you keep the PC totally away from the internet, but that's very hard to do these days as all programs seem to want to be authorised on-line. But normally after a day of re-configuring it back to how it was before each big update, it's OK again. I just wish they could do updates without changing all your arrangements. My music PC and net PC are both Win 10, but they both look very different and I've no idea how to get them looking the same.
