8 isn't that bad, but some software isn't compatible with it. I use Wilcom Bernina Sewing software to digitize machine embroidery designs, I have version 6, windows 8 isn't compatible with it, so I had to keep an older lap top to run Wilcom. It does take some getting used to, but I also use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, the full suite...and this PC runs it great, no lag time at all.

Julie, do you know the ballpark cost of the PE-780D? I'm doing my research on embroidery machines before I make a decision. There's not too many distributors in my area so I wanted to make sure I get a good price.

It needs a USB (3.0 I think) to work. You can then run your monitor off that. However, the thing is awful and made weird graphical glitches on my work computer and a lot of other people had similar. I'd suggest not getting this.

Yes, you can download to a usb stick from your library folder with design. Just right click design-send to-removable disk. Its also allows you to view designs without having to open any program, without it your computer is not set up to read these files. I can just go to my library, click my embroidery folder and see what I have and don't have. Makes life a little easier in planing a design before hand. Buy it, its worth it.

I bought a Brother SE-400 and the PE-design Plus, both have worked perfectly with my Windows 8.1 and 64 bit, the software was also designed to work with Windows 7, you will be fine

The machine does not operate hooked up to a computer. You load any new embroidery patterns (any that did not come with the machine) from a USB memory stick so your operating system is irrelevant. You would download embroidery patterns onto a memory stick and then plug the memory stick into the embroidery machine. The only time your operating system would be relevant was if you purchased software to make your own embroidery patterns. Hope this helps.

I have to agree with Le Prof, you will need two open usb ports, one needs to be usb 3.0, the one I purchased was a gift but I know what the specs were on the laptop it was going on, and it worked very well.

the smallest you have, I think is best for a fast transfer to your embroidery machine. I used a 500 MB USB stick and I even could find one of 15 MB . There is also a tutorial on loading designs: http://blog.tv-sewingcenter.com/janome/getting-that-embroidery-design-to-your-janome/ Succes!

Sorry to say, I don't know. I use another program, Designers Gallery to convert files from hus, pcs, vip, sew,jef,exp, dst into pes files and then use brother design to expand, change, modify etc.

What exactly to you have that is connected to your computer that is powered by the USB? Keyboards, Mice, Game Controllers, Flash Drives, USB Memory Card Readers, all these things should work just fine. External Hard Drives I am not sure about, but If your External Hard Drive is Powered though a AC Adapter (Or DC Adapter if You live outside the USA) I am guessing it should be OK, but if you are not sure or uncomfortable about hooking up a hard drive to a USB extension cord like this one. Then you are better off just using the shorter USB cable that the External Hard Drive came with.

You would not be able to open a pes design on your computer unless you have a softeare. This one is great to work with and is very easy to use. You can even merge your fonts with this program. Good luck!

I have the answer now. I purchased the machine. There is a USB port and cable, to connect from computer to embroidery machine. No special software is needed; just be sure to download images in PES format. Easy and fun!

You will need TWO USB ports available - the Engenius is a high power adapter and needs to be plugged into two so that it draws the power it needs to operate. I am not sure, but maybe you can buy a splitter (the kind that plugs into one USB port on the computer and has two female ports at the other end).

I don't know - I have never tried but most formats you can download the software to read the files. The laptop has 4 USB ports - I have owned 4 of these laptops and think they are great - very rugged.

Yes. It's a USB reader. That means there's a USB that can plug into any computer that has a USB port.

I cannot answer this for sure but if your USB ports have always worked god and your running anything from Xp forward I would order it if it was me.
