Honestly I have not done an audit yet to see what version of Windows is
because it was something we talked at a meeting of a few minutes we had
last Saturday and this migration was something I was thinking today to
propose next Saturday in another meeting. But I do not think it is
Windows 10. Anyway I would have to check it.

It is a client-server system. Doctors in each consulting room are
connected to this server using a desktop client. This server keeps track
of clinical records of patients, medical studies, among other things.


Thanks again for your time.

Kind regards,
Daniel
