[hpsdr] Windows 10

[George Byrkit]

So then go with Windows 10 Pro, not Windows 10 home, and you won't have that problem!

pushed an update for Nvidia video cards and
it has played havoc with multi-monitor and SLI installations.

So far this no exception automatic update is a no go for me. I will stick with my Win 7
machines till they are finally forced by the
outcry to change the update scheme.

I installed each 64bit Windows-10 Technical Preview for the past year. I am now running
Technical Preview Windows 10 Pro build
10240. It is very stable and I am pleased that all my programs run reliably (PowerSDR
3.2.27, OpenHPSDRProgrammer, Camtasia Studio
8.5, Acronis, LassoPro, Auslogic RegistryCleaner, ....)

I installed an inexpensive 120GB "OCZ ARC 100" Solid State Drive (SSD from TiegerDirect)
and my boot times are now *9 seconds* from
a cold start.

My Video card is an inexpensive Nvidia 640GT and I have no visual anomalies at all.

I have also tried an ACER TouchScreen monitor and the gesture functions seem to operate as
they do on a 10" Tablet.

I have only 8GB DDR3 RAM installed in this system because I can rarely see more than 30%
RAM utilization with *FULL 64bit* programs.
I wish I could get my money's worth out of the RAM I have!

P.S. I have not been able to force it to upgrade to the Production version of Windows-10
that is supposed to be released today, July
29th, 2015.  I downloaded the .iso file and can not seem to convince it that I have a
valid Product Code :-(
