Dok I found out there is no upgrade driver for the Edirol FA-66 in Windows 10 yet.
 
Do you mean a clean install of Windows 7? I have the disc for Windows 7.
 So ;
1.Clean install of Windows 7
2. then Firewall (I'm not sure what this means. I have malware bytes and Microsoft Security Essenials
3.Windows Updates? 
 
P.S. I have Cakewalk Projects and Music etc. on a S drive on my PC. 


I use F-Secure for my firewall. The windows part is not exactly a complete firewall, and tends to not be totally efficient, as they can not compete in the Firewall area ... with the big names, like Norton, McAfee or F-Secure.
 
Of the 3, I like F-Secure best and have used it for 8 years, and they have had excellent support. AVG is supposed to be good, but I would not use it unless paid for. There is a massive difference between the "free" versions and the others.
 
Yes, Windows Updates right after the Firewall program that you want to use.

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

I've upgraded 5 computers from Win 7 to Win 10 with zero problems.
 
Well, one situation. On one of the two Home Premium versions I get a dialog box that the "system needs to be rebooted". I can close it and all is fine. I always get that dialog box on a boot or reboot. I consider this a minor annoyance and probably related to some errant uninstall of some little used tool or program. This was my laptop DAW which I uninstalled all DAW related software about 8 months ago. As well I had some software dev tools on there that I also uninstalled at that time too.

Make sure you create a backup image file prior to installing Win10.
 
Win10 is working well for most folks/scenarios.
I find Win10 slightly more snappy...
In particular, performance at smallest ASIO buffer sizes seems more robust.

I will upgrade after I can get a Windows 10 compatible driver for my Edirol FA -66. I think I will ask one of you guys for a link to the upgrade this time

Bill, wouldn't the  Win 8.1 (x64) driver work? (generally, that's been true for other interfaces).
