I have installed the new drivers and Guitar Tracks 4.1 upgrade, all downloaded from Roland in the last month, set up on a few Windows laptops with Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1. Cakewalk, BOSS, Roland have all given me excellent service and feedback recently, with emails regarding the VS-20 specifically being returned in less than 4 hours. Also, SONAR Home Studio works with my VS-20, proof positive these VS-20 unit's are worthy in 2017. Just saying, if you really want to use your VS-20, just get a really nice n loaded with W 8.1 and get to enjoying all the features in your V-Studio. Mine sure works better now than it did when I bought it!
