That depends what you want to do. If you just want to slightly enlarge or see what you are doing on the computer screen, you can download Wilcom truesizer. It is a freebie and I use it a lot for checking the colors etc. The Pe770 is in black and white and the screen is small. If you want to learn to digitize, you can download ERA universal ( Sierra) Some sights have it for free download, I purchased the CD for 14.99. I think it is not easy to learn, but there are quite a few places you can get help. It truly is a digitizing program and I do adjust my own files, remove unwanted pieces of my embroidery files, digitize my own labels etc. I know some people love Embird, trial period for free. Take some time to see what you would like to do. Don't jump into anything right away. Embroidery can become quite expensive, so you want to pick and choose.
Good luck.
