PC Hardware Requirements

[AaMania]

Looking to upgrade our back office PC since it is currently running WIN XP.
Have Aloha TableService 6.2.15.

Will my current version run on a Windows 7 Pro 64Bit PC (I will be building my self) or do I need to upgrade to a newer version of Aloha as I begin updating my BOH?

Also can someone shoot me the recommended Hardware for Aloha (specifically my current version, and the most current)
Thanks,

Aaron

6.2 does not support 64bit.
Install 32 bit if you plan on staying at 6.2
here is a very nice faq on how to setup aloha on a win7 computer.

Thanks for the FAQ AlohaRoss, to my next question,
My FOH terminals are all POSReady2009 machines(4 Total), Putting a back office PC with WIN 7 with the exception of some Network property tweaking to get everything "talking" properly, Are there any compatibility issues with WIN 7 as a BOH and my FOH are POSReady2009 V2.0 SP3?

Thanks,

Aaron

no issues at all. Its how I do my setup. Refreshes take less than 45 seconds with a gig of ram on the FOH terminals

Yet another question. Trying to Find actual software for POSready2009, doing some quick research (

points me in the direction of getting Microsoft Windows Embedded, is that an actual OS platform that MS releases? If so How can I go about finding a hard copy?

Is it OK to load POSReady2009 on a PC that originally had XP Pro license on it? A developer told me that the EULA from Microsoft prohibits that after 2-1-14, despite the fact that you purchased POSReady2009, it's a gray area if you can "legally" replace a desktop OS with an embedded OS...

Any validation to this?
