Cheers.
You don't need to use Windows 7 (and shouldn't anyway as it's too old).
The Maschine 2 software (it's not called MK2) still supports the MK1 controller and will run on Windows 11.
If you can't get the software from NI support, then you can try asking in the buy/sell/trade forum.
Windows 7 is no longer supported, please check this page: https://support.native-instruments.com/support/solutions/articles/69000879301-compatibility-of-native-instruments-products-on-windows The Mikro mk1 will not be supported in the Maschine 3 software, you'll need to install the Maschine 2 version, you can probably find it second hand.
