[ZuppaDePesce]

Hello! My first post.

Just to put it out there:
Windows 10
Pro Tools LE version 8.0.5

Up and running on my HP Envy laptop (with non-stock Seagate Hybrid HDD).

Good news What interface are you using(and what driver)?

I'm using an Mbox 2 . . . how best can I answer your question about the driver? According to the entries in the Device Manager: Audio Inputs and Outputs - it says that "no drivers are required or have been installed for this device".

That's a very troll-ish way to express your opinion, Mr. Moderator. Thank you.

Me too. This can't be right! Just to find out, I cloned my system drive and used the clone to update to windows 10. And everything worked. What am I missing?

I'm on pro tools 8.0.5 with 9.0.2.65 drivers for a DIGI 002. Also with BFD2 and Reason.
MOBO: Gigabyte Z77M-D3H-MVP
CPU: Intel i5-3570
No problems so far, which is not what I expected... you can't pick it can you.

Thanks for giving it a go and starting the thread. I'm going back to win7, but if others report it's going ok I'll probably update for good in a few months.

Cheers.

Excellent!

Last night I was showing this Pro Tools 8 LE / Win 10 to a friend and we recorded a guitar track, "Bussed-it" and to another track with various effects on it, and printed it.

It all went very smoothly.

Looks like the increased reverse compatibility first built into Windows 7 has continued through 8 and now 10!

This is all good news. Something that Windows handles better than Apple is backwards compatibility
