Might be of interest to some...
Two nights ago while my mount was slewing to a target and while all gear was connected, Windows 8 decided to shut down my computer and by itself without asking me started to install Win10. There must have been a box somewhere that I did not uncheck...
Anyway, over an hour later my laptop has completed redoing its brain, so I could restart the software: SGP, phd2, CdC and EQmod.
To my greatest surprise, everything connected right away and I just had to re-sync the mount in CdC so the scope was pointing accurately at the sky. By everything, I mean the camera, guide camera, electric focuser, electric rotator and the mount.
In the end I do not really care which version of Win runs my gear, as long as it works. So far so good
