What type of interface would you now recommend?
Hi! Now that I have a windows 10 laptop I'm having trouble with my old Tascam US 200 that I used on my old Windows 7. A Google search revealed problems with this interface and Windows 10 but I found no recommendations for a better audio interface. Can you help me? Thank you for your time!

For long-time driver support and compatibility RME is recommended frequently.
There may be other brands with good support...

Hi bree. Here's a round up of some current models - of course these this doesn't take into account issues of support of even durability but may be of some interest.

What do you foresee for # of inputs and outputs, mic pres, expansion of inputs via ADAT/Lightpipe? The recommended RMEs are rock solid but if your needs are modest and budget is less there are other good options.

Will help a lot if you mention what your budget is, plus the other items mentioned in the post above.

Fepends on your focus. Mastering calls for a different class of interface (2 channels of highest quality) than tracking (many channels).
For tracking, RME with an ADAT input is a great choice.
For mastering, the sky's the limit, but Lynx and Apogee are a couple very good ones.

Thank You Everyone!
I appreciate the help from each and everyone of you! It looks like RME is the way to go. When I bought the Tascam US 200 10 years ago it was around $200, it looks like I'll have to spend a bit more these days for an RME but I'll sure do it!

I use two different interfaces for very different tasks due to their appropriate specifications:
For Live use, a Native Instruments Audio 6 for being specified as low latency.
For Multi Track recording a Behringer XR18, that provides many Mic inputs, six outputs, and features a sophisticated remote controlled built-in mixer for a very good price.

If you do your shopping carefully, there are plenty of used RME bargains out there. I bought BOTH my HDSP 9652 pci interface & my Laptop`s RME BabyFace used in both cases some time ago. NO issues at all with either one & the software & firmware is still being updated regularly.

At a glance, the thought of replacing a working piece of hardware due to a software incompatibility is kind of outrageous. Especially if it's a sideways move with no feature upgrade in the deal.
Obviously the new computer is an upgrade and that's part of the system...
Is it a hard fact that your new machine will not let you run or install the old revision of your OS? That's what I would be looking to do. Or at least address it this way: Is there a feature in the new OS that makes it worth it to have to upgrade fully functional hardware?
Another perspective in case you hadn't considered it.
