However, a modern PC is unlikely to have a serial port, in which case you'll have to purchase a serial-to-USB adapter. While there are many such devices on the market, this one has been tested and proven working for HotSync on Windows Palm itself also released a licensed serial-to-USB adapter known as the "Palm Connect Kit", but this adapter is highly outdated and is unlikely to work with Windows Right-click on your adapter and choose "Properties" , then switch to the "Port Settings" tab.
Here, you'll want to set "Bits per second" to for the fastest HotSync. You'll need it in Step 4. While Bluetooth was once a complicated protocol to get working with HotSync, with Windows 10, it couldn't be easier. Simply open the Windows 10 Settings app and navigate to Devices. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Leave this screen open to keep your PC discoverable by nearby Bluetooth devices. Next, on your Palm device, go to the Prefs app and choose Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is On.
Your Palm will search for nearby Bluetooth devices and show your PC in the list. The PC name will match the message on your Windows 10 Bluetooth settings screen. Next, your Palm will inform you about virtual serial ports, but you can ignore this entirely.
Windows 10's Bluetooth drivers come pre-configured with virtual serial support, so no further configuration is needed. Simply touch "Next" on your Palm until you reach the final setup screen. This one's pretty straightforward. Simply extract your Palm Desktop 6. Naturally, you can ignore any prompts to register your software or device as there's no one left to register them with. However, you should also ignore any prompts to run HotSync just yet.
If prompted to HotSync, choose Skip and proceed to Step 4. As a side note, you should also verify that Palm Desktop is configured to run as Administrator this should be enabled by default. Before your Palm can communicate with Palm Desktop, you'll need to configure HotSync Manager to listen on the same channel as you're using to connect. If not, you can run it by searching "HotSync Manager" in the Start menu.
Then, right-click on the system tray icon and choose "Settings". In HotSync Manager settings, navigate to the Connections tab. The camera isn't that bad. It's not professional quality, but it's not intended to be. As for apps, what do you want to do? There are literally thousands of programs available. Much of this is freeware. Whatever you do, get a backup program that backs your Palm up to the SD card. I like BackupMan, but there are several available. Back up religiously, and you don't need the PC when you have a hard reset.
