I've done quite of few of these type upgrades with the comment from the requestor always being "how hard could it be?". Here are some of the things you need to think about:
- LabVIEW compatibility. LV 2016 is the first real version of LV that supports Win10, so you will need to upgrade your code atleast to that and fix the LV sub-VIs that get marked as obsolete (LV 7.1 was a big transition in LV, for instance). Try not to upgrade more than 3 versions at a time to save yourself some extra headaches.
- Traditional-DAQ. Your old code is probably using the old 32-bit Traditional-DAQ drivers and they will need to be upgraded to the new DAQmx drivers - DAQmx 16.0 is probably the minimum that supports Win10. Your LV code would also need to have all the Traditional-DAQ VIs manually replaced with their DAQmx equivalent.
- Hardware Compatibility and Drivers. Your PCI-6601 card is a Mature product (soon to be Obsolete), and the PCI-6035 card and SC-2043-SG card are both already Obsolete. Doubtful you'll be able to find drivers compatible for Win10 for the Obsolete cards. You'll also have to be vigilant in spec of new computer with enough PCI slots to house the old PCI cards if you were lucky enough to find drivers (most new computer only have PCIe slots or only one PCI if at all). Thus, the hardware will also need to be upgraded to something like cDAQ or cRIO.
Just some thoughts......
