Windows 7 to windows 10
Hello I've been searching for any info or if anyone has upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 without deleting programs or data from Pro Tools?
I have Pro Tools 12.5 and I saw that you can upgrade without deleting all program or data files. I run a Malibal Nine X570SE with an I7-4820K 4 cores, 10MB 3.7-3.9Ghz 12Gb ram, 512GB SSD & 1TB 7200 HD on windows 7 Pro. Everything runs fine but I do need a few new programs and they run on windows 10. I just want to know if I upgrade will I loose all data and have to reinstall all programs over including Pro Tools? Thanks |

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
If you do a Windows7 to Windows10 upgrade (I believe that's what it's call) and not a new install. That's exactly what I did instead of a clean install and everything worked fine afterwards. I believe I had to reinstall a few plugins and reauthorize a few, but other than that it
was flawless. Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
I have, but just trying to find someone on here who actually did it or saw the thread. I saw things that said you can upgrade without loosing data, but I haven't known an actual Pro Tools user who said it was able or done it. Thanks

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
I believe I had to do some of my Windows customizations over but that was a while ago and I dont remember everything. I know for sure I did the Windows7 to Windows10 upgrade and I was up and running right after the upgrade. I did first backup my start up drive with Acronis in case anything went wrong but it didn't. I do advise you to use Acronis to backup your system first so you can recover your system before the Wimdows10 upgrade in case you need to return to Windows7 the way it last was.

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
On one of our rigs we went from windows 7 to 8, then on to 10 without rebuilding the drive. We have had no issues on that rig.

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
Confirming what others have already posted - you can still upgrade Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro for free, without losing your files and installed programs.
On this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/soft...load/windows10 Below the heading: “Create Windows 10 installation media”, click on “Download tool now” and install the MediaCreationTool1909 (Used here without any problems, on 3 computers) 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!

Re: Windows 7 to windows 10
When I went from 8.1 to 10, I needed to reinstall some drivers.
