I run two Win 7 laptops that I have set up with 2018 native and First coinstalled(since 12.5). Windows Wasapi works just fine as an audio engine so I have never bothered with asio4all. I normally use either 2i2 or an old mbox mobilepre with a powered usb hub and their asio drivers for recording without an Ilok which I rarely do. I don't think First will let you use any plugns that you don't purchase through Avid so pretty much no third party stuff. If I am going to need that stuff then I have to drag my Ilok with me and use PT Native instead of first, but I do use First without any other hardware to do basic mixes with just headphones and all the Avid plugs. I will have to check but if I remember correctly First comes with Xpand2, Boom and Structure free and some loops. I don't think you'll have any problem doing what you plan as a presentation, though there will be some limitations. You do have to dig into the sound control panel advanced preferences and change some settings usually, not a deal breaker or complex. 50 Gig should be plenty but you might grab a couple of thumb drives just in case, 32 gig thumb drives are going for about 10 bucks at the local computer outlet store. Note: First requires an internet connection. It is cloud based. You can save from full system as Projects to cloud and open in First where ever you are but it wont boot without a web connection.
