Noel, first of all I very much appreciate your clear and open communication. This helps a lot! Since the upgrade path towards W10 seems not to be possible on my DAW-PC, I am now facing the 'clean install'... But this would mean that have to do a complete new installation of all HW and SW components, right? I would need to install all the content, VSTs, Tools, etc. again, including all the painful, and even risky registration/authorization processes,right? I would at least plan one week of effort for this task and there is actually no way for me personally to do this huge investment. If I completely misunderstood the 'clean install' please let me know. Best regards, Peter

Thanks! This is a wise recommendation.

I have tried to upgrade from W7 to W10 today but at the very end of the process I always get an error code 0x80004005 and then it stops... I have already tried several hints from the ms forum but no success. Any ideas? Do I have to stay with my good old W7? Thanks in advance, Peter

MERRY Christmas...😁

Thank you all for your comments! I think migrating my music PC to W10 is now an option I am thinking about. But this is a decision that needs some more thought... I would love to invest in a new Hardware which would be the natural way of upgrading the OS. But this Christmas it is not on the wishlist... I wish everybody a mary Christmas and a great start in 2019 with a lot of music! Peter

Hi John, thanks for your feedback. This is actually the first time I read such a strong recommendation to upgrade to W10, especially with respect to stability. Also the earlier versions of the software since 2018.10 were very stable on W7. Do you think they do not test on W7 any longer?

Hi all, with the 2018.11 release I had to experience a decrease of stability during my work in the past days. I faced several crashes e.g. after recording a vocal track and after saving my project, etc... I did not see such stability issues for a long time. Anybody else with similar experiences? I use W7 64bit with a Focusrite Clarett USB interface. Best regards, Peter
