<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">A good solution is to purchase a Windows 10 PC to function as a network portal and create a LAN so that data on the old computers at the instrumentation can be
accessed from the newer, network compatible PC. Set network drive permissions on the Windows 10 PC to read only and notify the users that they should always back up their data (we put labels on all the computers indicating that the data stored there could
be deleted at any time) and delete any data they don’t want others to see. Recommend or require that the users upload their data directly to their own online storage to minimize USB usage. Since the network portal PC is only for internet access a relatively
cheap one will work fine and since no data or software lives there it is relatively easy to deal with if it goes down. It can also serve as a convenient place for users to access your lab management system to log in and out for equipment usage. I had this
set up in operation at Nano3, UC San Diego for several years and it worked great. It may not be perfect but hopefully this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [labnetwork] Getting files off older computers<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Here at the LSU cleanroom, we have several older computers (e.g Win XP and Win 7) which are not allowed on the network. These computers are connected to instruments <span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">(e.g. SEM and AFM)</span> that we often need to
get files from. Unfortunately, the instruments do not run on Win 10 (our network administrator won't allow Win 7 on the network as well). <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current protocol to get images etc. off these older computers is to use a cleanroom owned USB stick to move the file to one computer in the cleanroom which is on the network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not like this protocol. It is very difficult to stop users from using their own USB stick, which could be infected. Also USB sticks grow legs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect other facilities on the list have faced these same challenges. I am curious how you have resolved them. Thank you in advance for your input!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
