@nal_NR, I saw your response to a question in 2022 about the officejet pro 8710 and Windows 11.  You mentioned that it would be necessary to update the firmware in the printer in order to make it work on Windows 11.  Will that firmware upgrade then make the 8710 incompatible with other PCs on our network that still use Windows 10?

Hi @2catfam,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

That's a great and very thoughtful question — and I'm glad you're looking ahead before making changes that could affect others on your network.

The Answer is: No, updating the firmware on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 to support Windows 11 will not make it incompatible with Windows 10 PCs.

 

I hope this Answer helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
