Labview 2011 + Compact RIO on Windows 10

[sorsakoira]

Hi,

Clint company plan to change all computer OS from W7 to W10.

I used LV2011 Development System for programming cRIO applications.

What are the actions needed to get the programs working with W10?

Regards

LabVIEW 2011 is not officially supported in Windows 10 - you would need to update to LV2015 onwards for official support. That being said, I have run LabVIEW 2013 on W10 with no issues.

The only issue is that some toolkits are not supported - I know there are problems with the XILINX FPGA compilation tools on Windows 10 - you might have to use the NI Cloud Compile service (or set up your own local compilation server running an older version of Windows). You might also need to update drivers to newer versions.

There are some documents here with more information on updating to W10:

Same experience here, LabVIEW 11 programms run on Windows 10 (also not officially supported). FPGA compilations tools for LabVIEW 2011 are also not problem, it started with LabVIEW 2016 that parts of the FPGA compilation tools cannot be installed directly.

Thanks for the valuable answer. I was expecting something like this but want to ensure it.

One questions more.

Should it be possible to loud the LV2011 program to newer LV versions without bigger problems?

Thanks

Usually the answer is yes.
