Win 7 to Win 10 in-place upgrade - WORKED !!!
I tried an experiment on my old/under-powered laptop (see sig). It's been stable running PT 9 vanilla on Win 7. I use it only for remote sound gathering gigs - i.e. just a few audio record tracks, buffer 1024, little if any plugs, no MIDI, no VIs, no mixing, network connection off. Simple stuff ---> rock solid.
Yesterday I tried the free upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. I did not do a clean install; I did an in-place upgrade & it worked !!! I am right now running a test recording: Win 10/PT 9 vanilla/buffer 64/16 mono record tracks bused to a stereo record track/plugs on every track/network connection on/chrome browser running. ---> No clicks/pops/latency/CPU spikes. It's been recording for 4 1/2 hours now. This same setup worked on Win 7, but it would crackle unless the buffer was 128 or higher. Note: PT 9 is NOT approved for Win 10 ... maybe I'm just lucky !!!

Re: Win 7 to Win 10 in-place upgrade - WORKED !!!
Does it keep all installed programs installed with the in-place upgrade?
As it looks like I will have no other choice then upgrade to run 2019.5... installing on Win 7 worked like a charm but cant open or create a session so far... although I had no issues using 2018.12 on Win 7. Could not create a new document because Access violation occurred, unable to read location: 0x00000000000002E8. Getting this crap on all my drives, even the OS drive... Not compatible usually means not tested, so not sure where the culprit is this time, getting PT to run has cost me a fortune the past 20 years... so here we go again |

Re: Win 7 to Win 10 in-place upgrade - WORKED !!!
I've been running Win 7 & PTools 10 on this laptop for a while, but decided to try a clean install of Win 10 & PTools 2019.12. The clean-install of Win 10 feels more solid than the Win 7-to-Win 10 in-place upgrade I tried a few months ago. Works!!!
