I can update to win10. More important think is that Win10 desktop PC will probably not have a built-in bluetooth module. Then the only was will also be a nordic dongle ?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/152004?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:25:06 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:fa6c58fc-4af9-4f9a-af6a-764b594a9b63awneil<p>That&#39;s going to be easiest.<br /><br />How important is the Win7 support to you?
