I have PE Design 10 on my "Windows 10"..not sure abt the HD. But have you contacted the Embird people? I've heard they are very helpful and you are SURELY not the only Embird user with that computer. I'm fairly confident they can fix your problem.
OH, to add...I believe there is a question/answer forum at Secrets of Embroidery.com ...at least there once was. Seems there was a lady who answered ??'s about Embird.
