Upgrading ETC Element to Windows 10 / Security Status of the Element in the aftermath of the Windows 7 Embedded EOL

Hey! I am a student at a school that uses the Element console. We are trying to hook it up to the network, however our network admin is very skeptical about allowing it on the network due to the security risk it poses since it is no longer receives security updates. Can I upgrade to windows 10?

    The operating system can't be easily updated to another version. Can I ask why you want to connect it to your school network? What do you hope to achieve?

    Not the original poster, but I'm in a similar position. Connecting it to our school network would enable us to use OSC for synchronizing sound and light effects, as well as remote control of the board from the house.

    As an installer, I would strongly suggest not using the school network for this. Making a separate, isolated network for all of your lighting devices and adding a wireless access point for remote control will be much more secure and stable.
