It will be a DAW laptop, not meant for general surfing. In fact, I am probably going to buy a W8 laptop this week, which will involve the seller rolling W8 over W10. I counted Cakewalk, Audacity, Waveform, and a perpetual license version of Pro Tools. There are at least a few DAWs which officially support W8 but not W7, which I suppose has to do with coding and technical stuff over my head. And it works great once you have it installed. It will say it's not supported when you start the installer, but it lets you continue. And you have nothing to lose by installing it. That said, those of us who've said Cakewalk runs fine on Win7 wouldn't lie to you about it. In either case, most people have already moved on to Win10 (or Win11) and won't be able to offer much for anyone asking about Win7. More people on KVR seem to use it - or join in the discussions, anyway. And the few of us who stilluse it on Win7 are probably the only ones who are likely to respond. You can look through older Cakewalk/Sonar-related posts and see that.
I've tried following CW forum but it's such a hostile forum, I just can't beat all the snarkiness from the most experienced users who only come off as toxic grumpy people.Ĭakewalk doesn't get much support (or love) here on GS. If I can just download the DAW only portion without having to install it right away, I might grab it and just sit on it until more reporting comes in. I'll see if any more people can confirm it works on W7 before considering trying it. W8 was a mess and can't imagine trying to configure to that platform is viable or inclusive of many users, I don't know any using W8 but heaps are still using W7.
