Thanks Terra, just so I'm clear, I just have to move the .inf file to the desktop? And a stupid question.......how do I open it in notepad? Maybe just a little more clarification on this part and I should be ready for the big plunge.

I've done the backup / disk image of my system so I should be ready to disembark from Windows 7 and head over to Win 10 where I hope to see my VS-700 on the other side.

Move the whole file you download to the desktop and unzip it there. Just go through the folders till you find it.Right click, open with, notepad is how you do that.

After some issues upgrading to Win.10 I finally made it. Now.......
I've downloaded the 2.02 drivers and moved them to the desktop.
Then I extracted them and went through the file.
I found the RDIF1089.inf file and edited them.
Once edited and saved, do I keep the extracted folder on my desktop and run setup from there?
Does the folder eventually end up where it needs to be?

YOU GUYS ARE EFFFFFFING GENIUSES. Step by step......perfect the first time. Thank you guys for all of your efforts. You deserve a paycheck from Roland or at least a coffee mug and a t-shirt from them.

This method works!

Glad you're up and running. Enjoy.

Glad everything worked out for you.

Question.....I ran into some issues with win 10 and needed to reinstall it. I still get audio but my vs console is not working......does this sound like I need to reinstall the drivers or are my control surface settings messed up. Could somebody list the input and output settings that need to be checked off? I've been scratching me head for a while now and can't seem to get it right?
For some reason when I'm I preferences>control surfaces under add new controller it does not list the vs-700 but it is listed under in ports and out ports. Hmmmm

I need to add that in my cakewalk shared surfaces file there is no mention of my vs-700 or a .dll file like the mackie controller is listed. I get audio, but the console seems to be on another planet. Buttons are very inconsistent but faders work with no motor function. Sounds like I need to un and reinstall my drivers.....anyone?

You need to make it a mackie control surface.

TerraSin
You need to make it a mackie control surface.

Just assign that as my controller and set inputs and outputs to VS-700C ?
Before my computer problem the VS-700 was listed as a recognized control surface and now its gone for some reason. btw....Thanks for helping.
