Just Like Starting Over?

Windows 10 support ends on Oct 14, 2025.

But according to Reddit, that's the day after the aliens arrive so I'm gonna stick with Windows 10 and just see what happens.

It made me so mad to upgrade and it would not run the drivers for my HX Stomp, especially after installing a bunch of software. I scraped 11. 10 runs it no problem. I don’t run a bank so I don’t need a that kind of security.

I have an XP Pro box under my desk they'll have to pry out of my cold, dead fingers.

I have 16GB of RAM in all my machines. I put in SSDs years ago and TB drives were very expensive. But, I do have another 500G drive that I will likely use as an outboard.
I will stay with 10 until I start aging backwards.

My old laptop with Win10 on it started having issues. Still works, but is a touch unstable at times. Just before end of 24 got a new laptop with 11 already loaded. Had a couple discounts that were available to me and ultimately got the thing for 35-40% off. Came with 16gb Ram and a 500gb SSD. Did not upgrade to bigger drive as my old laptop had a 1TB and to date I’ve only used a 1/3 of it. I did order it with the next better processor. Somewhere between standard and a gaming processor. Figured for a few xtra bucks, why not.
 
Earlier this year - after 27 years with stand alone digital recorders - I finally took the plunge and set myself up a Reaper rig. I will still use the Tascam DP-32SD as I love it and know it extremely well. But I'm tracking with the Tascam and then moving tracks and/or stems to Reaper. As others have mentioned - the support for Reaper is excellent. (Thank you Kenny).

I hemmed and hawed over what computer to use. I just knew that I wanted a dedicated machine that I could mostly keep off the internet. I considered a laptop for portability reasons - but ended up with one of those mini-PC's that are built for gaming. This one happens to be a AOOSTAR GEM12. Affordable ($500) and light years more processing power, RAM, and storage than I'll ever need. I connect to the internet ONLY for utility reasons: downloading plugins mostly. Otherwise internet is shut off.

Anyway - so far so good. Very happy with this setup.

A lot of that sounds familiar. I hope you’re having a great time!

I’ve been making MIDI music since I bought my first Atari STe computer and a used copy of eMagic Notator (later known as Logic) that I ran on a 13” monochrome monitor. That was an interface that made Reaper look good.

Same here, but on an Amiga, unlike the ST it needed a separate MIDI control box. I can't even remember what software I used, I finished up writing a sequencer.
