Aurora R4, video card, Windows 10
Is the Aurora R4 Compatible with the Radeon RX 580? The Radeon RX Vega 64? What would you recommend in 2018?
Are problems with Windows 10 and Aurora 4 solved for command center (or still use the windows 7)? Any other problems I should be aware of?
Thanks!

1. Why would it NOT work? Do you have the 875w Power-Supply?

Are you sure you are not ready to switch to Nvidia? My Aurora-R1 is even older than your Aurora-R4.

2. What problems?
Of course, you can only install the last Alienware Command Center validated for your machine. Yours can go higher than mine. I'm still running AWCC v2.8.11.0 on my Aurora-R1 with Windows-10 Pro 64bit v1803.

If you don't have a SSD as bootable C: yet, now would be a good time to install one.
Disconnect the existing Windows-7 HDD (that's your "backup") .
Install and connect only SSD and clean-install Windows-10 64bit.

Connecting only one-at-a-time ... you can go back to old one at any time.
