I have an old IBM laptop (15+ years old) with Logix 5 and 500 on it. It is used for troubleshooting on some of our older equipment. Running on Windows XP.
Management doesn't seem to be in a rush to upgrade, so I must support the best I can. If I lose this computer, I would be up the creek so to speak...
I have purchased a new laptop (Windows 10) for the purpose of creating an XP virtual environment and migrating my old software to it.
I am wondering if this is the best approach to ensuring the survival of my old PLC programs. Would the software migrate to a Windows 7 OS just as good.?
Never used a VM before.
Thank you in advance for your help.
