Hi Anatoly,
Share model of GC and availaibility of type of windows 7 or 10..
You can check above discussion.
B.04.03 will not work with windows 10..
You have to choose open lab chemstation c.01.07 or c.01.10 but GC model also matter..
I see! We have HP 6890
HP 6890 very old..
If 6890N then may be some possibilty after changing firmware but windows10 will not support..
7 series then no issue, easilt can be upgrade..
It's G1530A s/n US00027692
The 6890A (G1530A) is supported on both OpenLab CDS 2.6 and OpenLab Chemstation C.01.10. Both of those chromatography platforms are supported with Windows 10 and can be purchased as an upgrade. Both software platforms also support the G2912A ALS controller you may be using for your ALS and tray. The GC firmware may need to be updated to A.03.08. For the 6890A these are physical chips that will need to be replaced if an update is needed.
The 6890A is a great robust system, but it is from the mid to late 1990's. Since it is operational you may want to speak with your Agilent sales representative about a trade in on a newer or refurbished system.
