As indie artists further dig in to their respective trenches across the new home recording landscape, this work horse has proven to stand the test of time: The E-MU 1616m from Creative has lasted 10 years, and three Windows Operating Systems.

In this video, I follow the instructions to get the right installation parameters set for the Windows 10 updates, posted at this forum link:
