Windows 10 problem
I have a Dell Inspiron computer originally with Windows 7 and had no Problems accessing Pro Tools Express/Mbox. New that Windows 10 has been automatically installed despite my attempts to delete the invitations, I of course can't access pro Tools, which responds with a "Can't locate hardware" error message. I just updated the iLok registration. Will I need to totally reinstall Pro Tools?

Re: Windows 10 problem
Did you try installing the latest drivers?
If you do NOT want Windows 10, you have 30 days to roll-back. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...-or-windows-81

Re: Windows 10 problem
For those on 7/8 who wish to remain and are tired of the perpetual MS W10 spam to upgrade, I recommend this utility app by Steve Gibson:

Re: Windows 10 problem
Many thanks, I'll check out the link. I'd been warned by others about these "spontaneous" downloads of Windows 10.

Re: Windows 10 problem
Since Windows 10 has "touched" your machine now, you should be able to install it at anytime you wish even after the free period ends in a few months. So keep that in mind if you want to upgrade later on.
