Default Help! - with mBox 2 Mini and Windows 10

Hi Guys,
Long time no see.

I need to do some remote voicetracking for my radio station company and someone is lending me an mBox2 mini for my Windows 10 PC. I looked over all of the compatibility sheets and see that combo doesn't work for ProTools.

How about just as a basic soundcard in/out WITHOUT ProTools? Will the mBox2 mini be recognized and stay associated with Windows 10, even if there aren't any supported drivers? I'll be using my Mac system with proTools to do my creating and then inserting into WideOrbit software with the PC.

I was going to pick up the box tomorrow and try it but I wanted to ask around in here first.

Is Mbox2 Mini too old to be compatible with Windows10 for a basic I/O card?

Thanks in advance for your knowledge!

You might still be able to use a Win 7 driver on Win 10. I've done it previously for my Project Mix IO I had. You will need to make sure the driver is the same platform as your OS (32bit vs 64bit).

If it where me, I'd find a used Focusrite Scarlete 2i2 or something though.

Yea, I could even use the most basic/cheapest of 2in/2out boxes I could find. I'm only trying to fool the company's network into thinking I'm doing audio AND using the broadcast software (which I will be) on the same PC system. The 2 ins and outs are just gonna go in and out of my Mac's Digi002.
(Yea, I'm an old schooler who stopped at OSX10.8.5 and ProTools 10.3)

Thanks so much for the reply. I thought the same thing. I was just trying this free option before I drop the 80 big ones on a proven compatible option. haha

Why not just use the Mac setup?
