    Operating systems

    I see a lot of machines offered on the web that require windows 7 or windows xp 32 bit operating systems. If mach3 runs on a windows 10 64 bit operating system i do not understand why the cnc will not work with that system?

    Any information is appreciated

    Mike

    It will work with USB and ethernet motion controllers that have Mach3 plugins.
