The parallel port driver won't work. If you're using a motion controller, than it should work fine.

Is there going to be a fix for the parallel port so Mach can run on Windows 10?

Unfortunately not - Win 10 will require an external motion controller for Mach3 operation.

No. If you want to use the parallel port, you need to use a 32 bit version of Windows 7 or older.

so the only way to get mach 3 to work with windows 10 is through a break out board or something similar?  I've been scouring the internet for the last 2 days looking for a definitive answer to this.
I was told that set up with a PCI slot parallel port card and 32 bit OS it should be good to go.

Who told you that?
Mach3's parallel port driver will only work in Windows 7 and older, and is 32 bit only.

For Windows 10, you need a motion controller, not a breakout board.

Why don't they compile the driver for 64bit?
