At least now I'm pretty confident that since the MBox driver works with Win 10, I don't have to replace my interface immediately.

Thanks.

Isn't that the same information as in here?

[dg27]

Yes. But I thought it was a good write-up.

So I'm about to close Win 7 for the last time, install Win 10, then install PT 2019.12 tomorrow.

I backed up my Pro Tools folder that's in the Documents folder, which has the gazillion plugin presets I've created over the years.

Is there anything else related to PT that I should back up, such as I/O settings?

I also saved my Trasher backups folder. Will I be able to insert this in my Trasher folder once I'm on Win 10/PT 2019,12 and restore using Trasher?

[JFreak]

IO settings are usually easier/faster to re-create than backup and restore

[dg27]

Thanks, JFreak. I'll just do that.

What about restoring my prefs using Trasher? Will that work if I insert the old Trasher folder in my new install and run Trasher?

[JFreak]

Don't know about Trasher, but prefs file is just a file you can backup/restore

[dg27]

Thanks.

I think I found it in User/AppData/Roaming/Pro Tools.
