HypertTerminal is Windows XP based application
which helps you to communicate with COM ports,
remote computers, Telnet websites, BBSs etc. or to
perform TCP/IP (Telnet) operations. It controls all your
serial devices using the Ethernet or Modem.
Unfortunately, it is no longer available in Windows 7,
Windows 8 and Windows 10. So, if you recently
upgrade your PC to Windows 7 or later versions from
XP, you definitely miss the feature. To perform the same
tasks (connect the computer to any remote computer),
there are several alternatives for your current Windows
version. You don’t need to downgrade the OS for using
HyperTerminal in Windows.

To control other serial devices you can use

HyperTerminal alternatives for secure shell access. To
troubleshoot modems using Windows 7 or 10
computers, you can use PuTTy as an alternative of
HyperTerminal. However, there are valid points from
Microsoft behind the discontinuing of Windows
HyperTerminal service. The reasons are mentioned
below in detail.

10 – Reasons (Why)

Shell access can be controlled using Windows

PowerShell and ‘winrs’ command. Alternatively
one can use the ‘WINRS’ command direct from
command prompt.
Phone and Modems option is the alternative of
HyperTerminal to troubleshoot any modems
related problems. Open Control panel and
navigate to Hardware and Sounds >> Phone
and Modem Options. After specifying country,
country code, area code etc. you can troubleshoot
the modem problems easily.
From the Turn Windows features on or off one
can enable Telnet client for Windows computer.
Telnet is text based program to connect other PCs
over the internet.

These are the main reasons for why the HyperTerminal

built-in Windows program has been removed.

1. PuTTy: PuTTy is a free, open source windows based

terminal emulator which is probably the best
HyperTerminal alternative. It is the combination of
Telnet and SSH. You need to have a COM port to use
the PuTTy. “DB9 to USB converter” can work well if you
don’t have an in build COM port. Configure the software
to make a use of it.

2. Hyperterminal Private Edition: This is a paid

HyperTerminal version to manage TCP/IP, COM ports,
and dial-up modems. It is a commercial edition which
allows you to chat directly to different devices using the
serial COM ports.

Final Words:
HyperTerminal is no longer available in the latest
version of Windows OS. There are many similar
alternatives available on the internet. However, you can
use the old Windows XP files to access the original
HyperTerminal Windows 7/10 edition. Otherwise, try
