Hi
No matter what happens, a new Windows will supersede the last
We all have to go with the flow nowadays as each program that comes on to the scene will eat up more ram and eventually you will have get a new computer.
Things can only get better and i now do not mind what the future holds and Bill Gates will love making more millions out of us.
A new Genos or whatever will be coming
We cannot stop progress or decline.
All the best
John
ps--- But what is said above is imperitive to each and everyone of us that has a computer "MAKE A CLONE OF YOUR DRIVE . YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK IF THINGS DO NOT WORK OUT"
I use a combination of Norton 360 and Malwarebytes and when making total backups you have all the lot including the updates from when you backed up.
Never had any hack or trojans etc. Just use one computer just for music and another for general internet.
When using the music computer, turn off all anti -virus software etc and click the internet off. Only turn on for updates and specify when you want an update
not automatic.Always leave updates for at least a month to see if any bad things occur and if good update.
Just my half pennies worth
I also would say keep your updates up as if not you may possibly have vst or Daw problems or security problems.
I do find that having the internet linked to your music computer is helpful for downloads and essential updates. No problem if you have a fast computer. Just knock the anti-vrus and internet connection off whilst using a Daw and vst ,Yem etc
