Ive tried like everything I know up to this point and now need help to get through this...ANY HELP WILL DO.
THANKS J.

Are you talking about Sonar Home Studio 6?  You don't say what you used to run it on, but SHS 6 came out when Vista was the current O.S. -- so yeah, it might be too old for Win 10.
 
In any case, the current full version of Sonar Home Studio is supposedly available for free, so you might as well try and grab a copy if you can:

or, put a copy of winxp on that pc, and roll with it.

Install a 17 year old unsupported OS just to run Sonar? Not the best advice I've ever seen...

hey, i've run my system for almost 10 years now.....
never a single glitch.
how is your track record?

Fine, no problems with Sonar Professional on W10 in 2+ years.
 
People run other software on their PC besides Sonar, and need new hardware which requires new drivers...

+1 for Sonar Home Studio free on Windows 10!!!  Was updated in 2017, and looks just like Platinum and Professional, except WITHOUT the ProChannel features...

that's why i have a dedicated pc for nothing but daw,
and have never done a system update.
voila.

That doesn't solve the issue of hardware needing up to date drivers that may or may not be compatible with an ancient OS. Or would you suggest keeping your hardware collection frozen in time as well? 

i don't know,
when i bought my rme babyface,
i didn't even load the drivers, and it works perfectly.
 
so, yea, for me, no updates needed.
for 10 years now.
