Keysight Windows 11 Upgrades: 16860-Series Logic Analyzers
Product Fact Sheets
Keysight is transitioning 16860-Series logic analyzers to the Windows 11 operating system to ensure continued security, compatibility, and long-term performance. This upgrade provides enhanced OS-level security, improved driver support, and compatibility with future Keysight software releases.
To meet Windows 11 security requirements, systems must include the M910 motherboard, which integrates a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This hardware update is essential for compliance with Microsoft standards while maintaining the reliability and stability expected from Keysight instruments.
All 16860-Series units currently using the M900 motherboard require the E5870AU Return-to-Keysight upgrade to replace the motherboard with the Windows 11–compatible M910 version. For systems already equipped with the M910 motherboard, upgrading is simple using the E5870A Windows 11 removable SSD.
Prior to upgrading, customers should back up all licenses and calibration data to ensure a smooth transition and preserve full instrument functionality.
