After half a year of trouble-shooting occasional audio stutters and crashes with my upgraded Windows 10 64bit 1607 from Win7 (with support advice for fixes from AMD blaming RME/Freslogic, and Steinberg) I threw in the towel.
Got fed up with checking drives for errors, memory hardware testing, even cleaning the PC from dust, especially the memory chip slots with cleaning alcohol to boot,all sorts of driver updates & testing, even buying a new SSD and a Freslogic 4x controller USB 3.0 card. All thanks advice from RME, Steinberg and other experts.
PS: A lot of gamer sites were blaming AMD, NVDIA and Windows updates, this all due some freaky windows update I think happened end of last year on my system.
So I now downloaded a Fall Creators ISO, as some of you fellow forum supporters had no problems with it, and installed it fresh .... 1 full day of work and still a lot of plugs and softs to reinstall .... seems running quite stable so far.
PS i took out a lot of privacy related MS sh*t out with Win10Privacy, OOSU10, and DisableWinTracking.exe .... By what a drag to block edge from hijacking my Foxit PDF reader settings, and Firefox as main browser ....
TIP Don't buy this recommended expensive EaseUS Todo PCTrans, it sucks, and screwed up in the process probably due my mistakes since it is probably too complicated for a one time user like me. Just backup the needed necessary drivers, INF folders, user folders and do it all manually .....
Funny sideline: I bough 2 legit Windows 10 Pro licenses off Ebay two years ago ... they wouldn't be accepted anymore by my former 'upgraded' Windows 1607, but only after a while. And behold, this current fall creators version does LoL - beats me.
Only problem i found sofar that this Windows version needs 20 seconds more to shut down .... maybe anyone has a tip? - F

I initially upgraded my Windows 7 machine using the in-place upgrade process to Windows 10 (to get the free upgrade). However, once you do that and register with Microsoft, you are free to re-install with the Win10 media, as Microsoft knows your machine now.
I had some issues with the upgraded system, so once I did the full re-install, found all the right drivers, and got it working, I've had very few problems. One of the big problems the re-install solved was getting Kontakt to work properly.

This morning I took the plunge and installed the Windows 10 1803 Spring Update. So far no problems. BIAB and other audio apps all seem happy.

It can be a bit complicated, especially for a one-time user like yourself. But it sounds like you did a great job backing up your necessary drivers and folders manually. Regarding the slow shutdown, have you tried updating your drivers or checking for any programs running in the background that could be causing the issue? Or check up alternatives at reddit windows keys legit. It could be worth checking out.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
