New Computer with Windows 10 Major problems with my camera connections! (Page 3): This is par for the course when buying a new PC. I can't tell you how many times I've bought a new PC...

This is par for the course when buying a new PC. I can't tell you how many times I've bought a new PC and some piece of hardware or other isn't supported. I had a Palm Pilot and a scanner. I had to stop using them or buy a more modern piece of hardware. The good news is that you probably could stand to upgrade to a new camera since it seems that you certainly have received your monies worth. You can always by a used Canon like a T2i or something like that for $250 and use it the way you want. But if you have the money, just buy a new camera. You deserve it.

I have a Palm T|X working and syncing with Windows 10! It's amazing what can be done to keep these things working if you want them!

Allen, thanks for asking. My "guru", Don Shrader, worked for 1 1/2 hours doing many different things including following your directives, which I had printed out, but could not tether my 10D or get the computer to "open" my Ricoh GR. Now he is going to do more research and so will I. Such a mystery!!!

Are you looking to tether your camera for the purposes of downloading the photos or doing remote control of the camera? Like others have said, moving photos by putting the cameras memory card into the PC's reader would be an easy fix. Another thought would be to use a WiFi SD card like this: https://www.amazon.com/Eyefi-Class-90-day-Service-Mobi-16/dp/B00CRFK4FC

I tether my camera to do multiple product shots of the jewelry that I make and sell on Etsy. I do metalsmithing, etc. I need to control the camera from the computer. It is a HUGE time saver and common practice. I will have to check into the WiFi SD card. Thanks for the suggestion : )

You can run a program called virtual box and use it to install win XP as a virtual machine allowing your computer to tether with the camera.

I hope you find a solution to your problem, but since this is a business it may be time to write off your 10D and simply upgrade as a business expense. My wife deals in antique jewelry, so we manage these things as business expenses, not technology issues.

Yes, Peter, this is definitely in the back of my mind : )
