PXIe-8820 Upgrade to SSD and W10

[michal.miler]

Hi,

In one of our setups I'm using PXIe-8820 controller, due to the W7 EOL I would like to upgrade OS to W10 and exchange the old HDD with SSD.

Does somebody have experience with this kind of upgrade on such an old device? What about the drivers they are available somewhere?

Cheers!

Hello,

I guess this article might help you about updating the OS to Windows 10.

Hi Michal,

NI never sold or tested the 8820 with Windows 10. It should work, but you'll need to grab a Win10 image from Microsoft and get the peripheral drivers from Windows Update or Intel. We can't guarantee there won't be problems, though. Also, due to the age of the controller, the SSDs we sold for the 8820 are also obsolete. You should be able to find another drive online, though. It's a standard 2.5" SATA drive.
