You&#8217;ll need a utility such as WinZip (for Windows) or MacZipIt (for Mac) to decompress the file once you&#8217;ve downloaded it. Please check the documentation supplied with the utility for assistance with decompressing the file.<\/p>\n<p>Step 1. Download and expand the archive file.<br \/>After decompressing the file you should find three files, including [mpc2000.exe], [mpc2000.sys] and the manual addendum in .pdf format describing the changes in the new OS.<\/p>\n<p>Note: If your Windows PC is unable to see all three files, your PC may not be set to display certain system files. This can be changed by opening your Windows Explorer and selecting [Tools\/Folder Options] from the pull down menu. Next, click on the [View] tab and look for [Hidden Files] in the list, and make sure the [Show all files] option is selected.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2. Make an OS disk.<br \/>Simply copy the [mpc2000.exe] and [mpc2000.sys] files onto a freshly formatted DOS format floppy disk. If you&#8217;re a Mac user, do not change the name of the disk from &#8220;Untitled&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Step 3. Save any data contained in memory.<br \/>Since the MPC2000 must be rebooted to install the upgrade, anything contained in memory will be lost. If you have any data loaded that you want to keep, you should save it now.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4. Load the new OS file into your MPC2000.<br \/>After you&#8217;ve read the Akai software license agreement carefully, simply turn the power off on your MPC, insert the new version OS disk into the floppy drive and turn the power back on.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5. Confirm that the new OS has properly loaded.<br \/>You can confirm that the new operating system has been properly installed by pressing SHIFT + OTHER, then selecting VER. (softkey F3). The screen should display the version of the currently installed operating system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34424],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33165],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I upgrade my OS of my Akai MPC2000? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/upgrade-os-of-akai-mpc2000\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I upgrade my OS of my Akai MPC2000? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"MPC2000 Operating System Update Instructions Note: The operating system for the MPC2000 is stored in a compressed format for PC and Mac computers.
