I'm new to PLCs and am starting a project and have some questions regarding operating systems and which to install.
I have 3 pieces of software Studio 5000, FT View ME and FT View RT ME.
I have two pieces of hardware
Laptop Win 10
Server No OS at the moment
I want to install Studio5000 and FT View ME on the laptop and ME RT on the server. Plan is to be able to remote desktop or VNC unto the server and use ipad or any computer as a HMI.
Any recommendations as to operating systems?
I was planning on running a Windows XP virtual machine on the Windows 10 laptop and running another XP virtual machine on the server with Ubuntu as the host.
Is XP to old should I move to 7? My preference is to use Retail legit software and XP is cheap.
