Topic: Fireface 800 on Windows? (a frustrated Mac user)

I've owned and used my FF800 from new for many years. I've always used it with Mac computers either Power Mac or of lately an old iMac. Problem is my 2011 iMac has in the last few days decided it wont work with the FF anymore. I have tried as much as I can ....new drivers, old drivers, clean re-install etc  but it just wont have it. To be honest I've finally had it with Apple (life's too short!)  I'm considering moving over to Windows for my modest recording needs. My question is...how stable is the Fireface 800 with Windows 10. I have no experience with firewire on a Windows PC. Any thoughts much appreciated...thanks, Lozz.

AFAIK all you need for Win 10 is the legacy firewire driver

Still if the FireWire interface is broken, or the FF800's power supply etc. it also won't work on Windows.
