192 IO are not officially supported on anything new but they should work fine.

The thing with these HD/Digilink systems you really want to be careful with is the basic compatibility of Pro Tools and the HD Native card on the OS version. What is hanging off the end of Digillnk cable is not nearly as much an issue. Try to follow the basic stuff here: https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...tibility-Chart

You can still upgrade Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro for free, without losing your files, instead of having to wipe out your device clean.

Hit the “Download tool now” button under “Create Windows 10 installation media” to get the MediaCreationTool1909 from this page:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/soft...load/windows10

Only install QuickTime Essentials, as explained here:

https://www.pro-tools-pc.com/windows...ng-phone-home/

https://www.pro-tools-pc.com/data-co...-phone-home-2/


If you go to Windows 7's
Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>System and see:
Windows Activation
Windows is activated
Product ID: *****-***-*******-*****


With an activated Win 7 Pro Product Key, the upgrade to Win 10 Pro is free!

Just pick the version of W10 that matches your W7: Home for Home and Pro/Ultimate for Pro.

HD/Native and 192 should be fine on Windows 10. I ran it 2 years ago and it was a really nice rig on a used HP Z820(12 core) with the HDN card connected to a pair of HD IO and a pair of 192 IO. No issues at all tracking 6 piece bands, even with 6 stereo HP mixes done in the sessions with sends. That system is still in use today.

I'm not the last word but I always go for speed over number of cores(so a 6-core at 3.5GHz is better than an 8 core at 2.9GHz).

I ran i7 3930K with all versions of PT12(and still running that same rig today with 2020.11). My HP Z820 with dual XEON 3,5GHz 6 cores was more stable(Z420 is the single CPU version and both are on the "approved hardware" list). Those 2 HP machines do require a specific slot for the HDN card. If you're building a new machine, I think all the i7 and i9 are safe choices, but XEON is the safest
