Weekly r/sewing Simple Questions thread! - December 30, 2018

My mother in law is sending me a single head 12 needle Renaissance embroidery machine. I don't know what year it was made. I do know that Prodigi bought out the company and no longer makes this machine or really any parts for it. I am completely new to embroidery and I don't have much knowledge about it. Does anyone know if I will be able to run the software for the machine on my laptop that is Windows 10? Should I find an older computer running Vista or earlier? As far as I know, my mother in law is sending me all the disks that came with the machine and all the hoops and the hat attachment. I really need to make this machine work. If I can't, even if I sell it, I will probably never be able to afford a large machine like this one.
