Is it an upgrade package or a full version of win7?

If it’s just an upgrade package then you have no choice but to keep Vista on the machine for the upgrade.

If it’s a full version I would do a complete install. I think you will have fewer problems with a clean install.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
