THIS IS A CRITICAL ALERT: Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, and Windows XP April 8, 2014. Your computer will still work, but your OS will no longer receive software and critical security updates from Microsoft which makes your cutting system more vulnerable to security threats with no technical support to fix them. Microsoft is strongly recommending users upgrade their cutting system OS to Windows 10.
Jet Edge issues recommended equipment updates through the use of Technical Bulletins. In order to keep your equipment safely operating at all times, it is strongly recommended that updates be implemented in a timely manner.
