Was I an idiot for trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10?
System: PXIe-8133 Controller in PXIe-1062Q Chassis... Keeping this simple with just a PXI-6514 Industrial IO plugin.
Was running Windows 7 and things were good. Upgraded to Windows 10 and things fell apart. NI MAX shows errors and does not see any of the plug-ins.
Ran Ni Package Manager and tried to "repair", with unit plugged into the internet, things chugged along for an hour and then she asked me to
"Select Distribution
National Instruments System Driver Set - May 2012".
I looked though the old CD's and found one labeled "NI PXI Platform Services for PXI chassis and controllers April 2012" with the nidist.id file on it. However selecting that sends me to a "Warning this is not a valid distribution location" error.
Question: was the Windows 7 to 10 move a bad idea? Or do I have the wrong "distribution disc"? Or am i just being stupid and missing something else?
Thank you for any help!
Alex.
