Microsoft has informed consumers that Windows XP is no longer supported as of April 8, 2014. This means that Microsoft no longer supplies security updates for Windows XP. Note the following information about how this affects exacqVision products.
Can I upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 on my Exacq-built exacqVision system?
Any system built by Exacq with Windows XP installed contains hardware that is more than three years old. This means that much of the hardware does not have proper drivers for use with Windows 7. Therefore, it is not recommended that you upgrade those systems from Windows XP. Exacq explicitly will not support such upgraded systems; if you try to perform the upgrade on your own, you will be responsible for ensuring that the operating system and drivers are properly installed and running on the system.
Will Exacq software still continue to function correctly if I do not upgrade the operating system?
exacqVision features will continue to function as they do currently. However, it is possible that some new features introduced may not be compatible with Windows XP.
