Hi Charles. This is addressing the Windows 10 part of your question. I tried it and moved back to 7. I was experiencing shutdowns after the computer was idle for more than a minute. Tried on and off for 2 days to fix it then migrated back to 7 today. All is well again. I'm staying put for a while. Platinum was a bit snappier though as was my online experience but the shut down issue won out over the modest improvement and a free personal assistant! I'm not suggesting you don't try it, just relating my experience. If you have issues. reverting back is quick and seemingly painless as I don't seem to have lost any programs or functionality once back in 7.

I've upgraded to Win 10 from 8.1 without any issues, yep none. I have couple of Win 7 PCs and a laptop I'll upgrade soon. The drivers are the thing to be concerned about.

Thanks guys. I may just stick with 7 for now too. I have not yet "joined" that new Sonar membership series - Platinum, etc since I have not upgraded beyond X1 - so not sure what that experience is like - good or not so good. I guess eventually will find out.

Do you use an audio interface or the soundcard on your motherboard, theres a slight chance an audio interface may have driver problems.
other advice for you -
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
