This was a Win10 upgrade install so everybodies scenario will be different. If this was a clean install (wipe disk) I suspect it would have been plain sailing.

I installed windows 10 a few days ago using a "CLEAN" install with a 5.9gig version of win 10 that includes the first two updates and auto activates itself as long as you have an internet connection available on the machine during the install. It does a great job of installing almost all the correct motherboard drivers and with a "clean" install which means not an upgrade you deactivate all non windows included programs so all the crap on your system is deactivated. You can either wipe your hard drive or keep all the old personal and windows files which will be place into a folder on your c drive in a windows old folder. I created a bootable flash drive with the free program RUFUS to install this custom version of win 10  , the windows 10 install took about 1 hour. You could burn a Dual-Layer DVD if you wanted to for the install but it will probably be slower to install. I then turned off all the update options of windows 10 that I could and everything is running GREAT! I love windows 10 some really cool new features with windows placement, screen recording and just a snappier faster OS/interface. If anyone wants a copy of this ISO i'll upload it to my server and walk you through install if you need. PM me if interested, just trying to help because I love everything about SONAR so I guess that means I love all you all. :) -Shawn

Not understanding MS supplies a perfectly good ISO to download. Not a good idea at all to turn off updates entirely, just set updates to slow ring.

And there is this article:

Btw distributing M$ software via your server away from personal use is probably illegal. Be careful.

I just created another thread about this because I have the exact same issue. I then found this thread. I've never reinstalled Sonar before, so I want to make sure that I won't lose any data in the process. Will all of my track and project templates remain untouched? Is there anything I have to do to ensure that Sonar Platinum is exactly as it was before I reinstalled? Also, do I reinstall from the Command Center? I don't see an reinstall option there, only 'uninstall' and 'rollback" when I right-click on Sonar Platinum.
