Problems with Windows 10

The Microsoft Windows 10 operating system settings have been optimized for
the best performance. Modification of these settings may degrade instrument
performance and measurement speed. Those that can be safely modified are
described in "Settings that can be changed" on page 24.
The PNA Vector Network Analyzers operate in an open Windows environment,
so you can install software on the instrument. However, installation of
non-approved software may affect instrument performance. Keysight does not
warrant the performance with non-approved software installed.

additional software, and these should be installed on the C: drive. However,
only a limited set of software applications are tested for use with the
Keysight measurement software. The installation and/or use of other
software is not warranted and could interfere with the operation of the
measurement software. If instrument repair is ever needed, the Keysight
version of the C: drive is the only part of the instrument software that is
restored by the Instrument Recovery process. You must reload any other
software that you have added in the instrument.

should always back-up the data on the D: drive to an external device. This
allows you to restore the data if you ever need to replace the disk drive.
