I have had a reply from PG Tech support which I find a bit puzzling...

Quote:
The best way to ensure you have correctly installed to your new operating system is to completely install your 2015 Band-in-a-Box EverythingPak from your external hard drive and then to install your 2016 Band-in-a-Box PlusPak and 49Pak into the same bb folder.

You can not install the 2016 PlusPak upgrade without already having Band-in-a-Box 2015 installed, as this was a special upgrade path.

Also, you will want to install SampleTank 2.5 (32bit) which comes with your purchase of Band-in-a-Box. You can't use SampleTank 3 in Band-in-a-Box as it is a 64 bit plugin.


Ok, so I accept that a complete re-install is probably the "best" way but I was looking for a quicker way than having to sit through hours of unpacking RTs again (some of which gave errors when I first installed them so I can't even leave it unattended to get on with the re-install).

Also, the advice about Sampletank 3 is just plain wrong - that is why I purchased Jbridge at the same time as BIAB, so that I could use ST3 with BIAB and it has been working fine.

Anyway, there is nothing to lose in trying out what I am planning to try. I also saw a post from Noel96 about de-activating my existing copy and then re-activating it on Windows 10 which sounds like good advice.

I will repost here when I have moved BIAB to WIndows 10 with anything that I think other users might find useful.
