Yo

One thing Win 10 does is make setting up multiple boot installs easy. I use a dual boot system - one for DAW, that is always offline except once every few months when I may update any installed software, and one for Interweb and online activities like moving files and chatting on forums.

With a dual boot setup you never have to worry about background web activities and updates messing with the DAW. This can be very important as a system ages. If the DAW is stable and working leave it. If you "bring in" files from collaborators on the Interweb boot partition everything is virus scanned and probably safe.

YMMV, IMHO, eieio.
