If the new PC is setup right so it boots and launches the CNC software - and
exiting the CNC software shuts down the PC, and the GUI of the CNC software is
identical or close to the old (if it's not exactly the same program the old PC
ran, then there will be little if any updating of operator training because
they won't have to deal with Windows 10.
There's a lot of equipment out there that runs on various versions of Windows,
Windows Embedded, Pocket PC, Windows Compact Edition and others where the user
has no clue (and doesn't need one) about what operating system is on it because
they never see it - just the one app or program the thing is built to use.
Many newer oscilloscopes under the hood are nothing but a micro PC running some
embedded version of Windows, with a fancy input card to read the signals.
People do crazy things like hack them to run games, while still being able to
function as a scope.
