    Firmware is on the MidiFighter so you don't need to update it again.

    When I was using my MidiFighter on a PC it was plug and play but I did see some drivers on the forum recently hut I think that was for when it was in BootLoader mode so I think ignore that if you've already flashed it.

    I'd just export your global settings and also your MF mapping and email it to yourself. Then you can export his settings when you get there to save them and then upload yours and it will be like it's your machine. Or just upload the MidiFighter mappings as a MIDI device.

    It will always default back to the keyboard when you open Traktor again. That's normal. As long as you select the MF in the in/out ports it should work. What version of Traktor is on the PC?

    May need to upgrade Traktor; 1.2.7 is the latest version. Failing that there's some pretty good keyboard mappings out there.
