Help with IBM model F XT

[Felima]

Hello everyone I have a question about my new Model F XT. I want to use it on my new windows 10 computer. But I don't know if the Din to ps2 and then ps2 to usb reduction will work.

You can't use a Model F XT keyboard straight on a modern PC — you need a converter. The easiest, most comfortable way to do so is to get a Soarer's Converter from orihalcon (he's active here and on eBay with the same username). It'll be as simple as plugging the keyboard to the converter, then the converter to the PC; you'll be able to type on it right away and, afterwards, reprogram the default mapping to adapt it to your needs and whims.

Second vote for Orihalcon's Soarer's Converters. They really are just plug-and-play, with two tiny caveats: plug the keyboard into the converter first, and take great care not to have any physical stress on the USB end as that's where the circuitry lives. Don't let the weight of the heavy DIN connectors pull on the USB end. You can't argue with his prices and his good support, though!
