I have had WD running on a PC since 2005, and it is still running without any issues. However I am being proactive and replacing this old but reliable Dell Poweredge Server, currently running Server 2008, with a newer PC with Windows 10 Pro. The old Dell has been crazy reliable, I had a stick of RAM fail, and replaced a hard drive or two over the years, still has the original cooling fans, and everything else. But it is time to put this old P4 Pentium out to pasture. Will probably help my power bill also.
Just looking for any suggestions to make this transition as hassle free as possible. The basics of my plan after making sure Windows 10 is fully updated is to copy the entire wdisplay director and subdirectories to the new PC, then install WD on the new PC, and run it as a slave to the current PC. Once satisfied that works, then connect my weather station (Davis Pro II) to the new unit, and configure the serial port (yes I did find a PC with an i5 processor that has a serial port).
What have I overlooked?
TIA
