Getting Audio and MIDI to/from MS4 and a DAW At the Same Time?

I posted about this quite a while ago and finally just gave up. But again wondering: Is anyone successful in having Musescore 4 AND a DAW (preferably Ableton 11/12 or Reaper as an alternate) running together on one computer? To clarify: One USB MIDI keyboard (mine's a Nektar 61) being able to send its note data to BOTH apps and BOTH apps being able to receive that MIDI data and play sound AT THE SAME TIME. I use this for transcribing and then notating music. The track I'm transcribing would play on the DAW and I would want a piano sound on that same DAW as well so I can figure out chords, bass parts or whatever. But also to be able to switch the focus to Musescore 4 and immediately input that note data once I figure out the parts. I guess I could use the built in piano on Musescore but I would STILL need both the DAW and Musescore to output audio AT THE SAME TIME. I DON'T want to use a bunch of third party software like Voicemeeter, Bohme MIDI or any of that stuff. I want to KEEP IT SIMPLE. Sorry in advance if I over-explained that or if my use of CAPS offends anyone. Just FYI and to wrap it up: My 13 year old MacBookPro running OS 10.13 (barely) did a fine job of all this with Ableton 11 and Musescore 3. Just hooked it up and it worked. I'm on a Windows 11 machine now but would consider getting a MacBook Air if it would do what I just described with Musescore 4 and Ableton 11/12 or Reaper. Thank you in advance!
