Re: Windows 10 Home or Pro
Win 10 Pro running 10HD and 12.4 HD on an 003 console without a hiccup.

Re: Windows 10 Home or Pro
I recommend Pro. There area few things it offers over Home, like Group Policy Editor where Windows Updates can be turned off.

Re: Windows 10 Home or Pro
For me it is all about disabling Windows updates. So Pro. But more importantly, build your own system, install a clean version of Windows, and take your time manually managing what drivers are installed, don't let Windows try to do this for you, and don't' rely on OEM install/recovery volumes loaded with crapware.

How would I advise them to install windows 10? Or should I just get him to build it and I install windows 10? Ive never used PC before, this will be my first switch. So not exactly sure if I'd be doing it right anyway [the drivers, etc..] |

But certainly you want the minimum of crapware installed on the PC. I would include in that not installing AV software (or having it disabled for use). I would not just throw peripherals in the PC and let windows work out what to install. For things like GPUs I would get the latest/known best driver from the vendor's web site. Install the minimal stuff and test Pro Tools works under some load ... ideally the builder knows how to do that. The bible of PC builds is this thread: http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=238426 The proper systems optimization is covered in the Pro Tools installation documentation and under "help us help you" up the top of every DUC web page. And more recent tweaks on CPU settings are in recent threads here. Part of the problem is Avid's documentation is out of date for things like disk storage... e.g. you are better off getting to use M.2 PCIe/SSD than anything else and it's OK to put Windows, audio sessions, and samples on a single M.2 drive (it likely will be better to do that than use multiple HDD or even multiple SATA SSD). . If you want a high-end build go to https://www.pro-tools-pc.com What might be a good thing to do if you are interested in this is study up and design your own PC specs/components and get somebody who knows how to assemble a PC to do that, show you how, have you test stuff with them.

Here I was thinking I was almost done choosing all the components, I could just hand it over to my local computer shop and have them give me a machine I could customize and get ready to go with. So youre telling me he should be installing drivers and everything AS the machine gets built? I can't just get him to build everything, give me a blank slate, and I can then install Windows 10 and all my drivers myself? |

Your PC is not just physical components it's the physical components and their drivers. For key things like GPU, audio cards, audio interface, etc. I would be picking out the exact drivers to install. Don't just plug stuff in and let Windows run and give you wherever crap drivers it will... and many low-end builders will do exactly that. |
