FAQ
Additional Information:
BERNINA & Windows® 11
Aurora 430 /435 / 440 / 450
The machines can no longer be operated on newly installed Windows 11 computers because operating system’s core isolation memory integrity protection is switched on. This affects the USB functionality.
PDC for artista 165 /170 / 180 / 185
The Personal Design Card for the artista 165 /170 / 180 / 185 can now only be read out and in via the appropriate embroidery computers (embroidery module).
The reader/writer box provided for this purpose can no longer be used.
USB 2.0 PCMCIA reader/writer box
The Personal Design Card for the artista 200 / 730 can no longer be used directly with the USB 2.0 reader/writer box, since Win 10 no longer supports this reader/writer.
Artista 200/730
Direct transfer via USB-cable is no longer possible. Designs can be transferred as ART-file via USB-stick.
Please Note :
Each computer may be configured differently, and its individual settings may affect how software and hardware attempt to operate on it. There is a chance that unknown problems may arise with your BERNINA embroidery software or hardware on any operating system.
