I got my London Sessions license via Drew before the BFD Drums takeover and it migrated seamlessly with the rest. You are as a BFD 2 licensee entitled to that. It looks like migration is a significantly different problem on Windows than it is on OSX. ---

Sorry to hear your unwell Neil. 7 weeks is a long time to wait for a new system although I guess that might be down to lockdown and stuff. Can I ask who your getting it from? Steve ---

Ah yes sorry, I’d forgotten we’d had this conversation already. Yeah I should think you’ll be very happy with what’s coming in 7 weeks and BFD3 will run like a dream. It’s Windows 10 I’m guessing? Steve. ---

I got out, and the effort was worth it. I still have complaints, but I’m way more productive now. Only time I start Windows is for Windows-only games. ---

Yeah, I hear you. I’m tied to Windows right now because I have an RME Fireface 800 and a PCIe UAD2 Quad card that I can only run on a Windows machine at this point. And for the record, I’m hating Windows 10. It was designed to be spyware and the bloat is out of control. When I upgraded my Win7 install, I spent 3 days removing stuff and hunting down settings to turn all the unnecessary stuff off. What a waste of time. Windows 7, however, wasn’t bad: definitely the best version of WIndows IMHO. If Linux was an option I’d be gone in a nanosecond. ---

> [@SF\_Green](#): > > I’m tied to Windows right now because I have an RME Fireface 800 and a PCIe UAD2 Quad card that I can only run on a Windows machine at this point. Would a recent used iMac with an OS that supports drivers for those devices work via a thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and a thunderbolt to PCIe expansion box? I’ve never used such an expansion box. I’m curious if they work without BS. Computers suck, and Apple isn’t free of my ire either, but I do better in Mac OS than I ever have in Windows. I never used Windows 7; I feel like that makes me a heretic, ha ha. But then I never used Windows Me either. DOS & 3.11, Win 95, Win 98/98SE, Win XP, Vista, Win 8.1, and finally Windows 10 via free upgrade. What a mess of a UI the last two have been. I actually didn’t specifically hate Vista like everyone else did (whenever my GPU would crash, Vista would happily crash the game, and simply restart the graphics system; Win 8.1 & 10 goes to BSOD), but I do generally hate every moment of every session with any version of Windows. Still need it for gaming. Sigh. ---

> [@SF\_Green](#): > > I’m tied to Windows right now because I have an RME Fireface 800 and a PCIe UAD2 Quad card that I can only run on a Windows machine at this point. I’ve been running a UAD2 Octo in a PCIe/TB2 chassis for years, along with an RME HDSPe card. Works like a champ with the TB2/TB3 adapter into my MacBook. Never a glitch with any of it. Seriously, not one hiccup, at any point, in all these years. Macs are expensive, no bones about it. I can rationalize the expense given how much time I spend on it. I thought Win7 was pretty good, but Win10 is really annoying. I have a Win10 laptop for work, that I’m just unimpressed with. ---

Never a glitch with any of it. Seriously, not one hiccup, at any point, in all these years. This is really good to know. I’ve been wondering if anyone was doing this. Not that I want to rely on a tiny compact machine for all the things I need in a computer, but I might be forced into it by Apple refusing to sell power-user machines at reasonable prices.
