Roland U.S. We sent a request for updated drivers to our corporate Roland/ BOSS headquarters in Japan. At this time, they have not informed us regarding when, or if, they plan to release updated drivers. We hope this information is available soon. You may periodically check the Windows 10 compatibility page here:http://www.roland.com/support/support_news/250024Sorry about that.

Yup. I'm installing the 8.1 driver tonight. Screw Roland if they want to bail on us. I'm sure the drivers will come but who knows when that will be.

Just wanted to say thanks as this also works on the VS20

Hello Guys of Great Knowledge.
I followed your instructions (I did not originally have the 8.1 drivers, but I installed them after installing win 10)
and I just want to say that it worked like a charm.
I used the cmd to turn of signature check instead of rebooting. I use the whole package v700 package and it is smooth. I wonder when Gibson/Cakewalk is going to realise what excellent software/hardware combination this is and buy it back and front it like the flagship it is. Surly someone there has common sense?
 
PS. seems like there is a lot of confusion between .ini and .inf files in these threads. It should be .inf file, that's the driver information.

Glad you both got it all working. Who needs Roland, eh?

Hey all! I never upgraded past Windows 7. Can I Just download the Win 8 drivers and start from there?

Yep, that's exactly what I did; went from 7 to 10.
 
The simplest process is to uninstall the driver from 7 BEFORE doing the Windows upgrade. Then do the modification to the driver before BEFORE installing the driver in W10.
 
Best of luck, but everything you need to know is in the first post of the thread. Follow it closely, and you'll be fine.

Thanks for posting all this, folks. Upgraded from Win 7 64 to Win 10 yesterday evening, and installed my VS-700 (interface and console) without any problems at all. I was up and running again within minutes, courtesy of the 8.1 drivers and the hacked .inf file, and so far everything is working just fine, including the Fantom synth (which had given me problems in Win 7). I understand there should be some minor performance benefits to moving to Win 10. Here' s hoping...
