A long time but that is what I will need to do.

Alex,
The 2600MC which I have and the 2600MM which your about to get require a lot of storage and RAM memory
My sub files on the 2600MC are 51MB files each
I’d strongly advise you update your old laptop ( if it’s 5 years or older ) to something which has at least an i7 processor , 8GB ram and plenty of storage Hearing your going to stack hundreds and hundreds of subs from these new cameras got my attention !!! not to mention storage and processing
I bought a second laptop early this year , my old laptop, has i7 processor , 1TB and 32GB ram
The new laptop has i7 processor , 1TB storage and 16GB ram
I use the old one for capture and the new one for stacking and processing
They are both interchangeable ie: I can image and process with both , all apps are duplicated
These new generation ZWO and QHY CMOS cooled cameras suck the power and chew the memory and storage
Just a heads up .....
