What do you want to do with software?
You may not need software unless you need to edit the design. You can simply transfer the design file directly from the computer to the USB. Take the USB to the embroidery machine and transfer the embroidery file to the machine.
You may be able to purchase a different brand of software that you can use for your specific file extensions. Check first to make sure it is compatible with your machine.
I seldom use software packages and simply transfer the file to the USB. Transfer single file by single file and don't put them into a folder. If I want to embroider 4 different blocks, they are listed as 4 separate files on the USB.
*Note: Some machines can read files in folders without issues.
To see an example of a design, I open the pdf or instructions part of the design file on the computer. Don't transfer that part of the file to the USB. Some designs have a thread color chart to follow along in the pdf file.
Good luck!
