Will these 2 applications run on a Chromebook? The MX editor would need to have the drivers for the recommended serial adapter.

Thanks

As Duct said above, this is NOT Windows. It is Chrome OS. URC does not have a version of their software that will run on Chrome OS.

You could however make this work by installing Windows on the Chromebook. But:
1) You would need a copy of Windows.
2) You would have to make sure the hardware was compatible to do so. Not all Chromebooks can. [Link: coolstar.org]
3) Have a lot of patience because it's a lengthy process and can get complicated. And pray you don't brick your Chromebook.

It would be a lot easier to just use an old laptop. Just because you 'can' do something, doesn't mean you should.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with Chrome OS. Never seen it in fact.
