yes it does. I have a Designer I and D4. I have the software installed on an old PC running an old version of Windows. Won't run on the newer versions. I'm not home right now, so I don't know the exact version of the OS, but PM me if you need this information. It has a Send function, but does not have Manager, so you can send ONE design to a floppy to use in the Designer I. Design Manager allowed you to create a floppy with multiple designs, but was discontinued with D3. I've never upgraded because it does everything I want. I can combine designs, and it removes the overlapping stitches. I can add lettering. You can scan designs in and it will do an autofill. YOu can manipulate individual stitches, but if you actually want to manually punch a design, it would be cumbersome. If you purchase a used copy, make sure you get the dongle. If you are not familiar with the designer I, you need software to create a floppy it can read. You cannot drag & drop or cut & paste.
