First, I will say I am definitely liking Sonar under Win 10 - no issues since I finally did get a successful Win 10 install - 'but what a strange trip it had been'
 
  DAW is normally not on-line except for Updates and always with Win 7 'defender' and firewall enabled.
  Last Win 7 update was in May so I decided to go get what else was there and then utilize the 'free Win 10' upgrade since Cake was mentioning that this would need to be done 'sooner or later' :)
  4 'tries' Win 7 update failed, - error logs pointed to the darned 0x8007005 error
  RAN every KB recovery known to man
  Finally happened on to an article by Bit Tec Computers (UK) - posted on their forum and ran their suggestions, including a little program from 'tweaking.com'
  The Tweaking 'repair' program sorted things out and subsequent Win 7 updates and Win 10 install sucessful
 
Apparently, there are issues in Win 7 where 'update' gets confused, corrupted, file permissions/ACLs get turned round, etc. Bunches of articles relating to this phenomena.   I was dangerously close to formatting and reinstalling everything :) It was a JOYOUS experience.   Total time - about 72 hours.
 
But again, I am really liking SPalt under Win 10 - other than the minor nuisance (and now corrected) of the Pace Licensing Service (East/West Libraries) not auto-starting.
 
Onward and Forward.
Best to All,

Wow... Bless you. 
 

One issue was solved by creating a new user folder since the original became corrupt.  In my frustration I named my new user folder as WTF.  That worked.
 
Just upgraded my other machine last night. When upgrading W10 bypass the download updates that will hang or take forever.

I guess it does. Great name for it.

I also had a little odyssey installing W10 on my 8.1 laptop. I decided to do the laptop to see how things went on it first. Then if all was well, install 10 on the studio machine.
 
It took several tries to install w10 over 2 days time. The installation would get to a certain point, and then the computer would just shut down in the middle of everything. Upon restarting the machine would automatically roll back to 8.1.   I finally googled the problem and found that a lot of people were having this difficulty on laptops. It turned out to be an overheating issue. So I propped the laptop up in front of an AC vent, plugged it into ethernet, (instead of Wifi) to reduce download time, and everything went off without a hitch.
 
 
So as I am typing this Windows 10 is installing on the studio machine. So far it is going smoothly. 

still waiting on roland to get pcr 3/5/800 drivers together

I updated from W 8.1 to W 10 over the weekend and for the most part things went smoothly, except that for some strange reason, W 10 doesn't recognize my second monitor. I read somewhere that it happened to  someone and that they had to wait a day or two for Win 10 to update and that it eventually recognized the second monitor. I hope that, that happens to me.
 
I am using just one monitor now, I didn't realize how comfortable I have become with the two monitors and it seems odd not to have them both.....

They already work with Win10
