This is a valid option, but I decided against it. The alternative to an update would be a clean (new) installation of Windows. Because of the higher complexity of confocal systems, we stick with this version that the manufacturer uses, minimizing the chances for incompatibilities, despite the fact that we will have to install new Versions then already in 2026, when the support for LTSB 2016 runs out. Technically the same thing but different licensing). However, current Leica SP8 systems are delivered with Enterprise LTSB 2016 (More precise: The Internet of Things (IoT) version of LTSB 2016. This version was used for wide field systems. Current version is LTSC 2019 which is based on Windows 10 1809. To avoid frequent update cycles of Windows 10, a long-term support version of Windows 10 Enterprise is to be installed. Windows 7 is not supported any more with security updates since January 2020, so an update is needed if the computer should remain attached to the network.
