How access my libraries on Windows 7 ?

Thanks for the clarification. That is a relief. I'm not too worried as I can most likely keep this rig going indefinitely. I'm planning to make it to the landfill before it does.

However, it does seem prudent to render all my projects as audio, just in case. If my Windows 7 DAW does die, I will probably buy a refurbished Dell or something with Windows 10 and the same general specs as what I now have. This can be had for under $400.00, so I have good options. I would not be upgrading to Windows 11 though, as it is even worse than Windows 10.

I render everything to audio regardless of what year it is, what is still active or what have you.

All hardware will fail and the universal software lifespan is fleeting - everything gets retired or stops working one day.

If you want your stuff to stand the real test of time - stem it all out to WAV (I do FLAC as well over here) and be confident you can return to it one day if needed.
