How about the KVM switch and the second PC? Have i missed your reply?
You could just switch over to the win10 box, have internet and all on it, while transferring files via ethernet to the win7 box.
Another way would be running the win7 box headless using a remote desktop client on the win10 to even spare the KVM switch.
I don't think it can get more painless than this. How's it doing currently?
Space is tight in that part of the shop, I already have to move things around for different operations, really don't want a second box out there.
I fear this is my solution for the time being...till I learn more and build up a whole new drive system

think this will allow me to run 64 bit out there, Mach3's parallel port driver has never worked on 64 bit anything...
