I took the plunge and upgraded to Windows 10 on Monday. After the installation was complete, I could no longer connect to my K3 with the N3FJP logging program. The response from Howard at Elecraft support to my email was very fast. He suggested that my 2009-vintage silver KUSB cable would not be supported by the new operating system and that they had switched chipsets in 2010. I downloaded what I thought was the latest driver from Prolific but it still didn't work. So I ordered a new KUSB from Elecraft on Tuesday and it arrived today (Thursday). It is black. I plugged the new cable in and immediately my PC was connected to the K3 and all is well. So, a silver or maybe gray KUSB may not work with Windows 10.
My K3 is S/N 919 and I have kept it up to date including the new synthesizer boards. I ordered the KBPF3 upgrade with the new KUSB and may spring for the KXV3B to replace my KXV3 and PR6-10 to free up some room behind the transceiver. If anyone is planning on staying with Windows 7 and wants an older KUSB, let me know. 73, John W2XS K1 (S/N 2191) 4-band w/KNB1, KAT1, KBT1, back light, and mounting bracket.
