Updating our operating systems are always such fun! Here's some more reading for those who may be interested in learning more about Win 10 and security:

Just updated one of my computers from 7 to 10. It seems slower, not faster; configuration may need fine tuning. Initially, it kept dropping my network/internet connection, but that seems to have stopped. I think I'm going to wait awhile before I update the other machines. Easy transition in terms of the user interface; don't really like the new 'Bookmark' system but I'll adjust. Keep posting your experiences, especially the negative ones; also any interesting new features.

Glad to hear things are working for the 'upgrade pioneers'. I have BIAB 2015 - hopefully no issues there along w/my audio interfaces. Also have CUBASE LE 7.5. I checked on their website and saw this:

While many Steinberg products have successfully been tested under Windows 10, such as WaveLab, our VST instruments and our audio interfaces running in ASIO mode, others, unfortunately, still cause problems when run on the new operating system by Microsoft. We recommend users - notably of our DAWs, Cubase and Nuendo, not to update for the time being as this may lead to an increase in audio drop-outs and MIDI timing issues. We also have recognized incompatibilities when using Apple QuickTime and the Steinberg EuCon adapter, and audio interfaces won’t operate reliably in WDM audio mode either. Our engineers are examining the problems and evaluating possible solutions for affected customers. We shall immediately inform you as soon as we know more.

Guess I'll wait a while before I take the plunge but appreciate all your continued posts here to keep us apprised of the "way forward".

Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked if he wanted to upgrade to Windows 10.
He replied, "I still love Vista, baby".

My friend emailed me last evening and said there was already a gigs worth of updates already. Microsoft has always been noted for putting product before the public before it's ready and I
think Windows 10 is no exception.
Waiting a while before taking the "bait" is good advice.

Thanks, Deane... for tacking up this post. I've never been a fan of Microsoft but use it still. My non-net Music PC is Windows XP and I can't believe these baboons stopped supporting it. Not everyone needs Apps! Windows 8 was a complete disaster as far as I am concerned (I know, many give it rave reviews) but before the final cut-off date, I'll probably convert this OpSys to 10.

That way, even more glitches and bugs will be ironed out and fixed. Microsoft never gets it right the first time and I suspect 10 is no exception.

Best regards and good luck to all who switch to 10...
