I have Vista, The embroidery program on the computer is Designer Plus 5 for bernina designs not already built in for the machine, All you have to do is go to your dealer,he can give you information as to how to make this product work on your machine,My dealer is in Flagstaff several hours away from here My dealer sent me an E-mail . all I had to do is follow directions , I am not the smartest about computers but it works just perfect, now all I have to do is learn about digitizing and adding my own patterns from photos :?
