I have an EX24 machine and the computer crapped the bed this morning. I’ve bandaid fixed it once before with a new power supply button, but it’s doing the same thing again. I am unable to power on the computer. What OS do I need to get for it? I know the one in it now is Windows XP, am I able to upgrade it to something newer such as Windows 10? Thanks.

I googled EX24 laser and all I got was a laser light show generator--? Not sure of your unit!

That said- any windows 7 computer should work where an XP did, if not by itself, by using the 'compatibility' function. My Gravostyle 5.3 and 98 software won't load in 7 until I set up the XP compatibility, then all is good--

IF your computer won't be on the internet, you can probably find a half dozen free XP computers within minutes on Craigslist, if none are for sale, place a "I need" ad... ;)

Decent Win7 computers can be had for $50 to $75...

Sorry, it’s an older model Epilog. Suits my purposes fine.
