I did some reading about this and you're 100 percent right. The Windows 10 upgrade must be done first so that all the legal crapola is out of the way. Then a second drive can be introduced. It may be counter productive to keep the Windows 7 OS. I think Noel had a great idea if I found the transition or learning curve a bit steep, but I'm happy to jump in with both feet. My main concern is to make sure I still have Internet, email, and all programs (especially BIAB!) working. I can learn the new OS at my leisure. From what I've read, the transition is generally smooth.

The prospects of downloading and installing four years worth of Windows 7 updates is totally off the table. My vendor said he would need my computer for two or three days to reinstall my Windows 7. I now see why.

Thanks guys!! I can't wait to produce some music and as Peter says, "Have fun!"
