Hi Kwan, re: > I am wondering if you have tested running McIDAS-X in Windows 10 together > with the Virtual Machine. Yes, I tested this when I upgraded my Dell Studio 1458 laptop from Windows 7 to 10 at the end of December. I didn't run in this configuration for too long as Windows 10 did not recognize my Bluetooth adapter, and I was unable to completely uninstall the Bluetooth-related "stuff" that had been installed. Since I had cloned my Windows 7 disk, I simply reverted back to Windows 7. As for my impression running McIDAS under CentOS 6.7 x86_64 inside of VMware Player while running Windows 10, I saw essentially no performance change from my Windows 7 environment. re: > For your information, my experience with > McIDAS-X running in Windows 8 soon degraded last year because there was > always a background process "tiworker.exe" that had caused excessive hard > disk access while the Virtual Machine and McIDAS-X were running. Do you > have any idea about this problem? No. I did not have your experience. A quick Google (tm) search using 'tiworker.exe' as the search key showed that others have been having issues with tiworker.exe under Windows 8.x. For instance: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/windows-8-high-disk-usage-caused-by-tiworkerexe/69b54d4d-ecb0-456a-a2c2-8b3deb211af6?auth=1 My search did not show any complaints from users running Windows 7. re: > I was thinking that perhaps upgrading to > Windows 10 might help but I would like to see if you have tested it in > Windows 10 first. I am not sure that I ran under Windows 10 long enough to be able to assure you that things will work for you. Question: - did you do a web search similar to the one I refer to above and try to take any of the corrective actions that various people were suggesting? Comment: - you may find it useful to do what I did: Clone your current Windows system disk (I used Clonezilla); replace the current disk with the clone; and then upgrade the cloned disk to Windows 10. If performance is worse, you can always revert back to your Windows 8 environment by replacing the clone with the original disk. re: > Thank you again for your insights. No worries. By the way, I will be upgrading to Windows 10 again once I uninstall all Bluetooth-related software in Windows 7; replace the WiFi and Bluetooth adapters with the combined WiFi-Bluetooth adapter that I bought for about $25 and is known to be recognized by Windows 10; and then get the new WiFi and Bluetooth setup working in Windows 7.
