Default Problem instaling Pro Tools 8 M-Powered in Windows 10- Help!

Hi everyone, this is actualy my first post here and thanks in advance for your atention.

I got the Pro Tools M- Powered 8, wich I´ve upgraded to 8.0.5 in a Windows 7 Vaio Laptop with a firewire port conected to a Profire2626. But this Laptop´s firewire stopped working and isn´t worth fixing it.

So I got a new computer, a Ryzen 6 3600, with a Aorus B450 motherboard, GeForce 1660, Texas Firewire PCIex card, all running in Windows 10. The windows 10 recognizes the M-Audio interface perfectly. I´ve already instaled PACE too, no problems.

BUT, I am having problems instaling Pro Tools 8 M-Powered. It started normaly. But, at the time it asks to reboot, when the computer is starting again, It enters the security mode, and I have to restore the computer to an early point.

Any help???

Thanks in advance!

Hi

So PT8 LE will never work on Windows 10. Sorry but you got to get current with the latest PT 2020 if you are going to run Windows 10.

I read about a lot of people working with PT8 and Win10...
Maybe running in compatibility mode?

Hi – and welcome to the DUC!

This may be worth a try – if you have the time.

My Axiom Pro 49 keyboard (installed with Windows 7) is not supported in Windows 10 – however, it works fine in Win 10, after “migrating from Win 7 to Win 10, with all files intact/keep Programs installed)”.
(This is NOT a clean install of Win 10)

(1) From Windows 10, revert to Windows 7:
Start Menu>Settings>Update & Security>Recovery>Go back to Windows 7

More info: Uninstall Windows 10 and revert back to Windows 7
https://www.techradar.com/au/how-to/...ws-8-1-1325555

(2) Restart computer

(3) Install Pro Tools M-Powered 8 with Updates to 8.0.5 – as well as the appropriate M-Audio Drivers - https://m-audio.com/support/drivers

(4) Restart computer

(5) Install a minimal version of Apple's QuickTime this way:
https://www.pro-tools-pc.com/apple-q...security-risk/
Scroll down to the heading:
Installing the bare minimum Quicktime Components Required for Pro Tools

(6) Restart computer

(7) Use Microsoft’s MediaCreationTool1909 (do not use the latest MediaCreationTool20H2) to migrate Win 7 to Win 10 with all files intact

Microsoft suggest:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...b-310ca0e0306f

Install Windows 10 Version 1909 – 19H2 (build 18363.418) with the iso from the following link:
https://tb.rg-adguard.net/public.php

Select type: Windows (Final)
Select version: Windows 10, Version 1909 – 19H2 (build 18363.418)
Select edition: Windows 10
Select language: English
Select file: Win10_1909_English_x64.iso

Run the iso - choose “keep my programs installed” – don’t choose a “clean install”

(7) Restart computer

(8) Run the free CCleaner:
https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download

Then run the free CCleaner Registry – run 2 or 3 times, until it finds no more to fix


(9) Restart computer


(10) Launch Pro Tools M-Powered 8.0.5 in Windows 10 to see if it works - please post your result!


Good luck!

I'm sorry, but it will never work. Simple as that. You will be wasting your time. I'm with Cristopher, either you get current with PT or you might try to install Win7 on that PC. Win7/PT8 might work.

Hi there, I know this is an old thread but for future readers it's worth correcting the above. Those who say it will never work are wrong. I've been doing it since windows 10 came out. I have fresh installed a couple of times, most recently last weekend. PT8 goes fine on windows 10.

For the install I followed the instructions here from albee1952, which just boil down to don't turn your DIGI002 on until the 8.0.5 updater tells you to.

Thanks for posting!

Did you use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool version 1909 - or did you use another version?

I have managed to install Protools 8 LE and upgrade it to 8.0.5 LE along with a USB Mbox2 on Windows 10 on multiple occasions. I can't speak for FireWire versions though and that will probably have more to do with hardware today than anything else. It works fine for me (although it's no longer my primary mode of recording) I can open and edit all my previous projects without any issues. I don't think I even chose the legacy install option when runnng the PT installer. Mac OSX was left behind in about 2013 and it hasn't worked with that since Lion or Mountain Lion.
