Howard,

So far, everything that I've run on Windows 10 works 100%.  The only 
quirk is with NVDA.  Windows 10 keeps notifying me that NVDA may not be 
compatible with Windows 10, but NVDA 15.2 works just fine.  My scanner, 
printer, k1000, and Thunderbird work just fine after the upgrade.  I'm 
not running a logging program as I'm not interested in contesting.
