Is it possible to download from my D180 with Windows 11?

[SammyQ2]

I upgraded laptops and now I'm having trouble getting the Dynon supplied serial adapter to play nice with Win 11.
Any suggestions? I had to revive my old WIN 7 laptop to download the latest flights.

Thanks.

You could define "trouble." You might also look at this:

Trying to update my D100 using Windows 10 and the USB to Serial cable I bought from Dynon. Keep getting an error message on the Dynon support program saying “Driver error. Unable to use Comm 8”. I’ve tried all USB ports and also changed the number designated for each USB port through device...

Okay, thanks for the lead. I finally got the connection problem solved. I purchased a USB to RS232, USB Serial Adapter with FTDI Chipset,USB 2.0 to Male DB9 Serial Cable for Windows 11,10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Linux and Mac OS(6ft) off of Amazon for $12.99. Then I went to https://ftdichip.com/drivers/ and loaded their most recent Windows driver package and installed on my new Windows 11 laptop.

Went out to the hangar and voila! It connected to my FlightDek D180 just fine.

Thanks for the tip.
