I just received a press release from Krones urging its users to upgrade their current Botec Classic process control system as it was designed for Windows 7, which will no longer be supported in a few weeks. The newer system, Botec F1, not only supports Windows 10, but brings with it a lot of worthwhile new functionality, which I’ll discuss later.

However, this announcement reminded me of my own Windows 7 upgrade experience of just a few days ago, which proved to be very successful. So if you haven’t upgraded yet, you may be pleasantly surprised with the results.
