About this tag
The lab equipment tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about compatibility and driver support for scientific and laboratory hardware within Windows operating systems. A recurring theme is the challenge of using older lab equipment with newer Windows versions, such as Vista or Windows 7, due to a lack of updated drivers.
